Feeling so much better about breastfeeding... I think I may have figured out what works best for me and little lady. Was finally able to pump a whole ounce 👍 I haven't been pumping until yesterday because everyone keeps telling me skin to skin and babe on the boob are best. I have been trying my hardest. As many of you know, it is absolutely exhausting. I have been proud of myself this time around 😊 I felt prepared mentally and have been holding on and in a good mood since she has been here 👍 but two nights ago she started to get frustrated while nursing 💔that is where I fell apart. I need to know I am doing something good for my little one. I felt pretty defeated talking to her doc today but came to some realizations. All of my children latch on so, so well! I love it but they all have massive suction power. They all destroyed my nipples making breast feeding agonizing. So that next day I decided not to give up and pump what I can, feed it to her and top her off with formula. Well it looks like we might be getting somewhere 👍I am actually starting to produce more. I am in a better mood because my baby seems to be happier more 😍 I know skin to skin and babe in boob are best but I actually feel I connect so much better with her since my head isn't focused on making sure she is getting enough. I know she is and it's a huge relief 😊😊😊😊
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I bit the bulletin and bought a few bikini tops. I haven’t worn a bikini top since before having kids but I’m doing it this year. I’ve been working so hard on myself with working out and eating better. I’m also just feeling more comfortable in my own skin. I have some saggy skin and stretch marks but ya know what I’ve seen worse at the beach haha. I’m proud of myself for this!! I’m owning my belly this summer!!! F it ya know?

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
