More than I can imagine

08.16.11

One of the main reasons I blog is to record the way God moves and answers prayer in my life. The amazing factor is I got to bring all of you along with me on this last prayer in my life. Ready for this….Remember the scare about Boaz’s “short femurs” upon ultrasound, well they measured...

The birth announcement{s}

08.15.11

So I couldn’t decide on a single picture to use for the birth announcement so I went with three!! One of my best friends, Rebecca of Pedaling Designs is a graphic designer and happily obliged! She knows my taste so well, I barely give her an idea of what I want and within minutes she’s done...

I can’t whistle but I can make milk

08.03.11

Somehow I missed the fact that my sister could whistle all these years and when she shared that enviable fact at the dinner table my husband chimed in on his whistling skills while I sat there in silence! Finally I blurted out, “well, I can make milk” and had them both stumped! The whole lactation...

Such a beautiful baby (and the picture is amazing). I can't believe you are posting so often with a newborn in the house. I'm in awe. By the way, how did you manage to get your first to latch on? I never could manage with my baby boy and quit trying when he would cry and cry. Now he's 8 months old, and I guess that ship's sailed.ReplyCancel

Have you tried pumping for just a few minutes before you feed? You could save/freeze that until his belly develops. My daughter had upset belly as a baby… I found that the Mylicon drops and rubbing her belly in a backwards C (with some force) would help.

You'll get it figured out – trust yourself and just breathe! 🙂 oxo, JillReplyCancel

Maria, your little Boaz Boy is just beautiful!

I had the exact same milk production issue with my second born and found that pumping off 1-2 ounces of the foremilk from each side right before I nursed him helped things immensely. I know that's kind of a pain to do, but so worth having a happy, well-fed baby. My milk supply did level off nicely after a month or two and I was able to nurse him for a year.

It's hard for me to fathom that this time last year I was constantly nursing an infant… now she's running on her own two feet.ReplyCancel
