23 weeks and 3 days

It's hard to believe that I am 23 weeks and 3 days with our second daughter. It's a sensation hard to describe...I wish Zoe was here, but at the same time this baby wouldn't be here if she was. I am so thankful we are moving forward, even if it seems like the the days are dragging by.

For now..here are some pics

    You look so adorable. I am glad everything is going well so far with Miss Mirth. It is such an unexplainable feeling to be expecting your second daughter when your first is not here, and the 2nd wouldn't be here if the first was. I just don't think that is something people can wrap their heads around it is a happy/sad place to be all at the same time.

    Hello Kate, Bree, sent me!! :) I am 21 weeks and a day right now and pregnant with my rainbow boy. I lost my son at 18 weeks last summer due to possible IC and Factor V Leiden. I am scared as all heck, but trying to take each day one at a time. I'll be popping in from time to time to say hi :) *hugs*

    You look gorgeous, mama! I like your latest mantra, to trust your body and believe. Baby Mirth is looking so sweet and snuggled in--I just know she's going to stay put until 37 weeks, at least!

    Happy belated anniversary.
    :)

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...
