Wow...I am a blog slacker

It's been way too long!!!

I have logged on here almost everyday and find myself unable to write much of anything. The words are in my head, yet transferring them to my fingers onto a computer seems daunting.

Anyway...things have been good over here. My due date is in 10 days! I can't even comprehend this concept. 10 days!!! I am elated, thankful, blessed, excited, joyful, overwhelmed and SCARED out of my pants!! I can't wait to see her eyes open, to hear her cry. I am so excited to hold her to my chest and watch her nurse. I am overwhelmed with love and excited. I am also overwhelmed for the loss of Zoe. I wish she were here with us, but it isn't so. I am deeply thankful for Zoe's little sister....River Zoelle. I feel honored to be the mother of such beautiful little girls who have shown me so much in so little of time. I look forward to cherishing every moment with River, our sweet Rainbow baby.

I can't wait to meet you River! My heart is overfilled with love.

37 weeks...at our baby shower and my 30th Birthday!

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...
