Indroducing...

The newest member of our family! We adopted a 6 week old Siberian husky from a local shelter. He will be able to come home in about 2 more weeks. He is so stinkin' sweet! We haven't decided on a name, but we have a few in mind. I am going to try to post a poll.

My appointment at the MFM went well, overall. I will give you details later, I actually need to get ready for work. Ehhh...work.

    He is super-cute! My boxer is named Jack!! It is a great name. Dogs are the best. My two boys have really gotten me through my rougher days.

    Congratulations! I am a huge dog lover. My DH and I adopted a chocolate lab from a shelter 3 years ago. Our life revolves around Cassidy. We just love her. I think it will be good for you and your hubby. He will bring you a lot of joy! I voted for Sawyer. :)

    I voted Sawyer too! OMG, he is soooooooo freakin' cute Kate! I told myself that we'd never do a puppy again. Our first dog, Sierra--now a huge 100+ lb smushball of love--was a pound puppy. She ate a couch and a bed. (Could be we were't the best trainers of puppies there ever were...we didn't serious about it until we moved with Sierra and her brother to Germany and realized that all of the PERFECTLY behaved dogs there made our dogs look embarassingly like the American hooligans they were...). Ahem. Anyway, I swore after Sierra no more puppies. We adopted Liam from a shelter when he was 1 1/2. BUT ... oh my, your little Sawyer (I'm just going to go ahead and call him Sawyer, 'cause it's SO CUTE and perfect for him!) oh gosh...he's a seriously precious little dude. Can't wait to meet him!!! :)
    xxoo

    PS...I just asked Bruce, "Do you want to see a picture of Kate with Sawyer?" and he said "Are you talking about LOST?" I guess I didn't consider the whole Kate/Sawyer connection. But I still think Sawyer is a great name for your pooch! :)

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...
