When I am not breastfeeding I am sleeping. When I am not sleeping I am attempting to still be a good wifey and manage to get in some household chore before my husband gets home, AND make dinner (how 1950's do I sound??). When I am not being industrious I am breastfeeding...AGAIN.
I seriously underestimated the breastfeeding thing. I am still all for it as it offers so many benefits for mother and child but it has been a daunting task. Not only does it hurt, but it feels like I am doing it every 20 minutes. I know that I am really doing it every 2 hours or so, but that's not what it feels like! Thank goodness it also happens to be one of the sweetest experiences I have ever had in life, otherwise I might be tempted to give it up like so many others do.
Anyway, I know you are probably more interested in pictures of Makaylee than my thoughts on breastfeeding so I'll get on with it.
Shortly after she was born. Love at first sight for Daddy.
He had been waiting for this for nine months.
Mommy and daughter.
I just LOVE this picture. How adorable can one child be? In this picture we had laid blankets in her car seat and put her by the windowsill in her room. She had a small case of jaundice and we were instructed to keep her in as much indirect sunlight as possible. This is her "womb" position, everyone. Every time we had an ultrasound or tried to do that 3d/4d image she had her legs like this and her little hands by her face. So cute!
This is the first time I put a hair accessory on her. I love that the pacifier takes up half her face. She's my teeny little girl!
That will have to be all for now. Makaylee is waking up and I am positive she will want to eat immediately. *sigh* Hasn't it only been 30 minutes??
