thanks. I wasn't planning on taking pics . I just wanted to see if that dress fit. It is a 3 month size and she is wearing 6 months. She never wore the dress before because there never was the opportunity.

[Ontarkie 14,133]

The dressed looked like it fit really well. I'm glad you tried it on her you got some great pics, your husband will be beaming when you give them to him on Valentines day.

Love the pics, so cute! I love the last one there.

My little guy is 2 weeks old today! Unfortunately, he still won't latch on - though I'm trying. I am pumping and most of his food is coming from me, but I'm still not producing quite enough. I'm drinking lactation tea and taking fenugreek etc. I can't afford a LC right now unfortunately. I have been researching though. I know I'm not the only mom going through this and I'm not going to beat myself up about it though it's hard not to. I know the important thing is, that he gets fed! He is such a good baby - most nights I'm able to get a couple of blocks of sleep in. Some nights he's fussy as heck but I know that comes with the territory.Thank goodness for swaddling!

[Ontarkie 14,133]

Oh Jen that is so hard. Has he been looked at for tongue tie? Some pedi's can spot it. Also you can google some pics to help you figure it out.

Cute pictures Marilyn.

My babies will finally take a pacifer. Sweet silence when they had been crying so hard the last couple days.

[Ontarkie 14,133]

Yay for silence!

[JensJrny2Ray 367]

I'm taking him to the Dr. tomorrow again (weather permitting) so I'll check for the tongue tie. It's so hard when you try to get him to suck and he just screams. I'm also going to try a nipple shield today. I've read they are controversial but if it works, I'll take it.

Hubby let me sleep for about 6 hours last night - I feel so good! Hah, who knew that I'd crave just 6 hours sleep! My back has been so sore, I think it's just adjusting to carrying the baby around and feeding him and all that. I really need to make better use of my sling - I'll make that my daily goal.

Today is going to be an inside day - it's snowed quite a bit overnight and still going. Since it's a snow day for Daddy though, I might go out for a little walk in it (that's the west coast in me). One thing I've noticed between west coast and east coast is that west coast people will go for a walk in any weather as long as the weather isn't rain!

All in all though, I love being a mom. Though sometimes, I feel like it's a dream. 39 years old and first time mom to an amazing baby - I feel like the luckiest woman alive!
