Breastfeedi...Sounds like you are doing pretty good! Breastfeeding was so hard for me too at first, it took about 2 months to get a good rhythem, and then I had to go back to work.<br><br>William is beautiful, seeing his pictures on Facebook is giving me babyfever all over again.<br><br>Congratulations again!Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17824139839302466189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333612180387266376.post-46938791382904195852009-08-18T13:45:17.199-07:002009-08-18T13:45:17.199-07:00I know right where you are coming from Meghan! Be...I know right where you are coming from Meghan! Becoming a mom changes so many things for you, many that you don't realize will change. All I can say to sum it up is that it gets better. I promise. (Somewhere around the 8-12 week mark I started seeing the sun.) You'll get to a point where you feel "normal" again, baby in tow. <br><br>Like you were with left overs, I was the same with drive thrus. Couldn't stand them. I always went in. Now, with two kids, I'm the queen of the drive thru. When I get to enjoy a meal in my car, I feel like I'm living! <br><br>As for breastfeeding -- it's SOOOOO hard to decide what is the right thing for you and your family. I'll pray that you gain insight. Either way, Meghan, you are a wonderful mother to your sweet baby. I will suggest though if you are still struggling to breastfeed contact a lactation consultant. Many hospitals offer a free phone service. You could just call them up with your problems, big or small. If your hospital doesn't, Northside does, and it's for anyone's use. I met in person with a consultant several times (plus it's usually covered by insurance) with both of my kids. They helped me with latch, how to increase my supply, and to deal with thrush. Most importantly, they gave me the information and confidence I needed to make the best decision for our family.<br><br>I used to hate when people told me to sleep when the baby slept. Didn't they realize that when the baby sleeps, it's the only time you have a chance to regain some semblance of normalcy?! Do what makes you happy and I promise it gets better. <br><br>You're awesome. Thanks for sharing and for listen to my response rant.Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18032364629255977011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333612180387266376.post-9740659689476343972009-08-18T13:51:51.944-07:002009-08-18T13:51:51.944-07:00I was in the middle of typing pretty much the same...I was in the middle of typing pretty much the same paragraph as your second-to-last one the other day after your last post but then decided it was coming across as unsolicited advice. <br><br>The day I stopped trying to BF (or in my case, exclusively pump) was the day I was able to start being a mom instead of an absolute wreck. Unfortunately it took me 4 weeks of misery! Who woulda thunk I could have a perfectly healthy formula-fed baby?!<br><br>I'm glad that you were able to come to a decision that you are at peace with and so soon in the game.<br><br>Nothing the baby books (or nosy onlookers) have to say can be more important than your sanity...Our babies need us functioning at 100% much more than they need conventional wisdom!<br><br>And he really is super adorable!Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14262889490539720754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333612180387266376.post-68351564909346510032009-08-18T18:24:19.657-07:002009-08-18T18:24:19.657-07:00Wait...that came out wrong...I meant to say I was ...Wait...that came out wrong...I meant to say I was typing practically the same info back to you (as in, I had the same experience) but didn't want to sound like I was giving advice to you, so I didn't send the message...not saying that what you typed was sounding like unsolicited advice to others...hopefully that makes sense!Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14262889490539720754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333612180387266376.post-39957449806474275812009-08-19T04:45:14.014-07:002009-08-19T04:45:14.014-07:00Y'all are all very sweet!
