Our First House!


We are in the midst of buying our first home! We are both so excited. It is bittersweet for sure, because if Zoe were alive, I am sure we wouldn't be trying to move while I am 34 weeks pregnant. But, I am looking at it from a "new start" perspective. Now we have our very own home to raise our family, and bring our next little one home to from the hospital. Zoe would want this for us. This makes me very happy in our choice to cremate Zoe. I am so glad we can take her with us. We have discussed burying her, but we concluded we made the best choice for us. At least at this point in our lives. Anyway...I haven't posted a picture of the house yet because I don't want to jinx it or anything...but that is a bit absurd! :-) So here it is, a picture of our house! We are cautiously excited (we will feel better March 31st! We tend to attacked bad luck). We are closing on March 31st and Moving April 11th. We were going to move April 3rd, but this way we can take our time, paint and clean and do all the fun homeowner things! I already have plans in the works for a memorial garden for Zoe. Of course I will have to get a butterfly bush, since she is my little butterfly. (or as my mom and cousin Erica say, Zoefly! How cute!) Well, I will keep you updated!

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...
