We are doing good! Baby Teja is already on a good schedule. She only wakes up once during the night and we just love her to pieces. She will be two weeks on Friday. I can't believe it. I had my first breast infection already (first with Teja--I had two with Brielle) and it was miserable. I would get a lump and massage it out and then it would move to a new place and I just couldn't keep up with it and so it finally got me and out me down for a couple days. I got some antibiotics and now I am feeling much better!!! Oh--and I know how lucky I was that I didn't have to experience any labor pains--but let me tell you what!!!!!!!! The uterus contractions I had the first few days of nursing all but made up for that. I was in so much pain--bloody and sore nipples along with the contractions I literally thought I was going to kill over and die! Adam had to rush over and massage by back while I was feeding her just to make it through and I had to do my labor breathing! It was pretty crazy! Glad that is over!
WE celebrated our anniversary yesterday--nothing big! Just dinner and a movie! Some day we will do something extra special-I just know it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, I also got so fed up with Brielle constantly wanting her "Ba Ba" that I took it away. I had her throw them away and then I took the garbage out to the trash can. She was not happy! She threw a few tantrums and then she would randomly start crying through out the day when she would normaly have her bottle. When Adam came home she even tried to ask him for her "Ba Ba" but it didn't work. Kids are so dang smart. She has done really good though. She made it through the night and to the next day. I will keep you posted on it!
Got to run--its feeding time!!!

What! No picture?! JK I'm glad to hear that everything is going well! So sorry about the breast infections...I had one after Bria and it was the most miserable week of my life! I'm glad you're feeling better now! Can't wait to see some pics of the little cutie!
Sorry about the infections! I was lucky and didn't have anything too bad while breastfeeding Pearl. I'm dreading the day I throw bottles away here so it's good to hear it might work, after a few days of crying.
You are such a strong woman!!! I was tempted to give up breastfeeding from bleeding nipples, but my contractions were no where near that bad. Good luck on the bottle thing.
I have to say I am jealous of your schedule. Teancum wakes up around 11 pm and I often don't get back to bed until 5 am. He doesn't sleep very much during the day either so we are just trying to get him to sleep anytime he is willing.
congrats! i have been meaning to call you but life is just crazy lately. She is beautiful and sounds like Brielle already loves her. the breast infection thing sounds terrible. I hope you don't have that happen again and it's so nice that she already has such a great schedule down. I'll give you a call sometime soon. Lili says congrats Broke!!!
Yuck, I'm sorry. That's awesome that you have her on a schedule already! This is my one and only fear come June, is that I'll be so sleep deprived that I'll be a monster. . .
