Little Miss Mirth

Well, I am feeling mentally "better" today. Haven't even cried once! :-) I woke up today with a "screw it" attitude about the last doctors appointment. I know this baby is healthy and growing exactly the way she should. I can't let crazy doctors get in my head and make me scared for the health of my child AND preterm labor. So screw it. I am taking charge (well at least for the day) of my feelings and embracing this pregnancy. This is our last child (biological at least) and no sense in being completely scared and lying in bed all day feeling sorry for myself when NOTHING has gone wrong. She is growing strong!

Anyway...so we chose a name!!! Yay!! We had it down to 2 names...and it's officially....A SURPRISE!!! Little Miss does have a name...but we are keeping it a secret. Actually one of my LBM's does know her name...but that's it. :-) We shared a few names with people and it seems everyone has an opinion. So...it's a secret!

Happy 4th of July everyone! :-)

    Sounds like you had a tough week. Sorry. I don't like your doctors, either. I don't believe them. So, go ahead and SCREW THEM. Can't wait to see the Little Miss Mirth. I know she'll be perfect. Hugs. Aya

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...
