Success after IF

pics!...but still no name...

Hi girls-

Just checking in quickly while I have a moment.  We're doing well - getting used to life as a family.  I'm exhausted (the LC has me pumping every 3 hour in addition to BFing on demand which seems to leave me no time for sleep) and honestly feeling a little delirious, but of course in love with this little creature.  Watching my DH be a dad has been amazing - he is absolutely enamoured. 

I thought I would share some pics of our little nameless wonder.  And someday soon hopefully we'll share his name!

  • He is so cute! ?I just want to cuddle him up.
    Nothing to see here....
  • Oh. My. Goodness. He is PRECIOUS. Oh I just want to squeeze those chubby little arms. Congratulations!

    My parents changed my name when I was a few weeks old (grandparents were being mean about the original name they'd chosen for me) and so my parents friends teased that my name was Baby No-Name. So your post reminded me of that. Well, of the stories, obviously I don't remember it!

    GL with the name and settling into family life :)

  • Amber, he's simply beautiful.  Can't wait to hear his name!
  • He is GORGEOUS!!!!
  • As a new mommy -- just a very friendly tip-- don't feed on demand -- feed every 3 hours from the time you baby starts eating (I did 15 to 20 min per breast) -- baby will get used to it.  LC also had me pump 15min after I feed baby to help establish my milk -- you don't have to do it that long. gl!
  • oh my--he is so sweet!
  • He's perfect! Name or not. Congrats!
