Hi ladies,
Chiming in while I can. I got Carolyn to laugh for the first time last week. It is so cute! It isn't easy to get her to laugh though. She seems like she may be a pretty serious child like her dad. She rolled back to belly earlier this week. I think it was a mistake, but I'll take it. She did it 4 times so it's not a complete fluke. She was playing with her feet and I think they must have gotten heavy because they fell to her left side and then she completed the roll, but her left arm would always get in the way. She still hasn't rolled belly to back. She still dislikes tummy time so she doesn't stay down there very long.
I'm really struggling with pumping at work. Lefty just doesn't respond to pumping very well and it's stressing me out. That works against me too. Having people trying to rip the bathroom door off it's hinges and knocking isn't helping either. So, I am doing my very best, but we may end up supplementing with formula soon. My family stuffs her with breastmilk when I'm gone so my freezer stash is plummeting. I am going to try and pump my brains out next week while I'm on vacation for the last time, but what will be will be. I've done my best and that's all I can do.
She goes for her 4 month check up next week

Not looking forward to the shots. But then she will be ok to travel. I think we are going to take her to Peru to see the other side of the family some time mid April. It depends on my schedule. There are 3 great grandparents there, and one is in quite poor health so I'd like to get pictures while we still can. Only one of them is lucid enough to be able to understand who she is. So sad, but that's the way it is.
How are the other breast feeding moms handling back to work? Any formula recommendations? Carolyn can't handle when I eat dairy products, so I will need to buy a soy based product I guess. I'm so sad about it, but I need to let that go and know I've done my best.
Ok, gotta go!
