Why can't our bodies be more predictable?

Hey!! How are you doing Mama? And how is sweet Taliyah doing? And your husband? I hope you are all doing well!!! Is your husband back to work now? I'm glad he was able to take two weeks off with you both!

How is the breastfeeding going? Is she latching any better? Like you said, she is getting your milk even if it's in the bottle, so that is great! That is amazing that she didn't have to spend any time in the NICU. I am so happy to hear that! She sounds healthy and PERFECT!

Breastfeeding is going better for us. He is feeding from both sides now, but the supply on the side he was fussing over is still not quite the same. He's having some pretty bad reflux though, so the doctor actually prescribed an antacid for the next week to see if it helps him start keeping food down. He may be overeating, and then getting reflux, and then eating again because it makes him feel better. It's a bit of a cycle. He's been gaining weight though and is healthy, so that is good! I was supposed to be going back to work at 6 weeks, but I extended my maternity leave to 10 weeks. I'm feeling relieved about that. I have just been soaking in every single second I get to spend with this little guy I know what you mean about just watching them sleep. They are just SO perfect and precious! Life is SO good!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you all and hoping that recovery and life is all going well!

Hey Mama,

We are doing great. My DH went to back to work last Wednesday but he work Thursday and was off this past Friday and he is off on the weekends and was off Monday. But this week I'm on my own. So far it's been great. She is such a good baby, so I think that makes it easier. Breastfeeding is not happening, I'm still pumping, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what but I'm searching for a lactaction specialist to see if I can solve the problem. Other than that she is doing perfect. She now weighs 5lbs 3.6oz as of last Friday, I'm so happy and thrilled she is doing great.

I'm so happy they your family is doing well and everything is going great. I'm happy you were able to extend your leave for a couple more weeks. When you return to work who will have the baby? Your family or daycare? So will you pump when you are away from him? I'm so sorry to hear about the reflux, ughh I hate that poor baby. Taliyah had a little gas starting 2 days ago that made her fussy but I got this stuff called mommy bliss gripe water and it worked great on her and she is so much better!! But I hope he get some relieve soon and fast!

Well kiss the baby for me and we will check on you guys soon again! Good job mommy we are rocking this motherhood thing!!! Xoxo
