Stiming away

Well...I am on day three of my stimulation drugs, and I am still alive! I guess that is good, right? My right ovary is a bit crampy today, but I am not going to fret about it just yet. My first u/s is wednesday then every other day from there. Life is still very much surreal this time around. It's completely hard to believe that we are doing this again...but we are, and I am trying to stay positive and optimistic. Optimistic isn't a familiar concept for me....but I do try.

Tim and I are celebrating our 4 year anniversary on Thursday! It really has flown by. I am the luckiest woman in the world...my husband is loving, kind, compassionate, artist, intelligent, funny...and most certainly crazy for loving me! I am glad he "gets me" and all my weird ways. I am sure he would say the same about me...he is a bit strange himself! :-)

    Happy Anniversary. We hit 6 years yesterday. We couldn't bring ourselves to celebrate this year because we thought for so long that Ella was going to be with us to celebrate.

    Happy Anniversary! What a wonderful thing- to celebrate 4 years of marriage :) I'm still amazed that you two are together. It makes PERFECT sense, but I've never actually hung-out with either of you since you've been a couple. Boy time flies!

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...
