Unlucky me!

Sometimes I feel like I have shitty luck! Seriously, if something can go wrong...it will. In the last 5 weeks these are the things that have happened.

1. My water broke
2. Zoe passed away
3. Our car broke down when we got home from the hospital
4. Tim's student loan got all screwed up
5. Our ceiling leaks in the living room-land lord hasn't fixed it
6. Our car broke down again!
7. I got a speeding ticket the day my broke down for the second time

Hmmm...I know there is more but I just can't think of them! ha. Seriously, it is almost comical.

However I have had many beautiful things happen in my life, so I suppose it would only make sense to list those as well.

1. We met the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, our daughter
2. Our family and friends have been AMAZING!!!
3. Tim and I have grown and learned a great deal about each other and our selves.
4. I have met a group of people through a support group who are incredible and caring!
5. We are in the midst of buying a house
6. My car did get fixed for under $1000...I guess it could be worse
7. We hung out with old friends Mary and Brian! I LOVE THEM dearly!!
8. A group of family and friends are raising money for the March for babies in Honor of Zoe.

Sometimes my journey is difficult to understand. I think life is full of up's and downs and growth. None-the-less it can be a painful process. Hopefully the start of this year will be the end of my bad luck.

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Breastfeeding or bust

Since the moment I was pregnant I knew I wanted to nurse. I love the idea, I love the thought of holding my baby skin to skin...I love the concept of nourishing my child and watching her grow. Immediately after River was born, my BP dropped when they were stitch me up (i had a 3 degree tear). So when she was wide awake I was not feeling so wonderful. I tried to nurse during that time, but it just wasn't happening. We were able to get a good latch at the hospital...but my nipples were bruising and man-o-man did it hurt!! BUT...it was what I wanted and everyone tells you breast milk is best. Once we made it home, we had an appt with the ped the next day. River was losing weight...normal for a nursing baby. So...we went back 3 days later for a weight check. Still not gaining weight. The doc told me to nurse every 2 hours...to wake her up if I needed to. Okay...I can do this! Back to the doc...still LOSING weight! At this point I had been calling the lactation consultant at our...
