Hello ladies!
Dd is 5 wo yesterday. It's been a crazy week of cluster feedings. Ever afternoon for the past 4 days from like 1-8pm was an hourly feeding.
Today I finally got a bit of a break

And I captured a few smiles and a funny face yesterday!
Hope you all are well!
@andatcdc any news?

08/14: Our little miracle has FINALLY arrived - 3 years after we started trying!
LO turned 1 month yesterday! I can't believe how fast it's gone. I'm already dreading going back to work in 3 weeks.
I swear we are getting some occasional real smiles already! In the pic below he had just woken up and I said "Hi baby" and he just burst out that smile!
I'm still trying to figure out this formula thing. Dr said DS can feed on demand at night, but if I don't wake him he already sleeps 5 or 6 hours. I'm not sure if that's ok. One time, his belly was growling! He is a little over 10 lbs, so maybe it's ok.
I have the worst tendonitis in my left forearm. It's killing me!! Anyone else ever deal with this?
Happy Sunday, everyone!
dd feeds at 10, usually bitches until midnight then falls asleep. She doesn't wake until 5-6 now. So long as he's past his birthweight, and is feeding consistently thru the day (and gaining) let him sleep. I don't wake DD unless I'm ready to explode. And even then sometimes I just opt to pump and let her sleep. If she wakes soon after pumping, she gets the bottle. If not, I just nurse her.
Breast feeding definitely has not gone according to plan, but at this point, I just want little man to be healthy and growing!
We had a great weekend with some friends visiting Saturday, and a pretty low-key day today. I still haven't caught a smile on camera, but totally loving all your pics. I did catch a little pucker a few days ago though!
What's your daycare situation? My DH is going to be able to take 4 weeks after I go back, my mom is covering 1 week, and then DS will go to a wonderful (albeit expensive) center near our house the week he turns 3 months old. I'm trying to focus on the positives he'll get rather than stressing about the other issues. DS will make friends, be a little more independent, etc. It's still going to be so hard!
Edit cuz it's the MOTN and I'm falling asleep and forgot to say, that's great your sister has a place! How wonderful to have a place you can trust 100% and where your LO will be TRULY loved. :-)
I too had a crazy birth story. I actually didn't even want to post much about it til at least all the Sunday ladies had their babies cuz I didn't want to freak anyone out. I'll post it from my computer sometime.
I'm glad you and Calvin are happy and healthy! Thanks for the update...we've been thinking about ya!
Edited now that my keyboard isn't f'dup!
