I have not forgotten about my beloved blog! It's been a rough week and a half....
You know, you'd think this breastfeeding thing would be so easy, but boy, I'm telling you....it's not!!! And this is my second time around with it.
After 2 battles of thrush I got mastitis over the weekend. Seriously.....the worst pain of my entire life! And to get through it I had to nurse Sofia every three hours...THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! It was a bummer since she was doing so well sleeping 6-7 hours. But, worse than that, I was
stuffing her! She was throwing up and pooping constantly! After getting through a very long 3 days the thrush had then caused major cracking. So now I am only feeding on one side and having to pump the other side. UGH! Thank the Lord that I have Doris through all of this. She is, not only, the most amazing lactation consultant, but also a cheerleader, supporter, listener and most importantly, a friend.
Whew, the stuff women have to go through! I tell ya! But, I'm finally feeling better and not so exhausted so I've added a bunch of pictures for you to see. Sofia is growing so fast. She's starting to show a bit of personality and it's darling! Of course, there is still the fussy time...during dinner! Mike and I have gotten use to eating in shifts.
We are looking forward to Auntie Michelle coming in to town this weekend to meet Sofia! The weather will be beautiful and it will be nice to have her visit!
Well, Grey's Anatomy is about to begin and Sofia will be crying to eat very soon. Enjoy the newest pictures!
