My sweet little one will be 6 weeks tomorrow and I can't beleive it. I always thought it was stupid when my mom said "it just seems like yesterday...", now I understand.
Being the eu natural person that I am(also meaning CHEAP), I am doing the breast feeding bit. Here is just a few random thoughts on the matter~OW!, 40Ewhat!?, Nipple Confusion for the little one, ie. that ain't no booby, I want booby!
I have returned to work and I am still trying to figure how women do it. I am now on my third pump, my cousin gave me a Medela 1 side pump, that was greatly appreciated but it was taking 45minutes to pump both sides and it was a tad loud for a Spa. So ebay here we came, and we found a "quiet" double pump, for anybody out there don't waste your money on the Bailey Nurture III, unless you're buying it from me on Ebay. It was like a science project gone bad. I did however finally find a good one, drumroll... the cheap one from Target made by The First Years, what a life saver.
Even with all of that I could'nt seem to produce enough milk, so we started supplementing with formula, very bad idea, can you say constipation? Yeah and let me tell ya no baby is cute when they are constipated. Thank God for the internet, with a little research I found an herbal remedy, Fenugreek. They said you know you are taking enough when you smell like Maple Syrup, How weird right? Well it works I smell like Maple Syrup and my shirt was soaking wet this morning YEAH!
Enough about my boobs, well sortof. We have had a breakthrough, she is now taking both boob and bottle and growing by the second, I just need to teach her how to cook. At the last wiegh in which was last monday she was just over 8 lbs, she smiles and coos, when she is not screaming for booby or sleeping.
I had all these great plans to document her milestones but honestly I don't think I have had a moment to sit down and do it, how do all those mothers do it, well gotta go she crying...
