I don’t know if he’s getting anything but…

Chico remembers how to latch and spent a bit sucking after his bottle.  We’re going to try before next time.
How happy am I?  I so missed nursing.
Wish us luck–I just downed a bowl of oatmeal and I’m doing the Mother’s Milk tea religiously.

I’m still working up to regular posting but…

One of the worst parts about being hospitalized for so long and about having been so goddamn sick is that Chico was put on formula.  I lost so much fluid from vomiting before I was hospitalized that he was barely getting fed, and then I was on far too many meds to pump and send [...]

I’m sick and a big whiny baby

I feel like someone packed my head with duck butt.  I have that raw-from-blowing nose because I’m using tissues instead of hankies.  And the dreams I had while napping…

Stuff

Go. Read this, and then watch this.
