Well, I can finally say that I TRULY appreciate my mom. This mothering thing is draining. I have never worried so much or loved so much. And what's up with this nursing thing? Who does this? I feel like a milk maid and I am beginning to look like one too! My nursing goal has dwindled from 1year to 6 mos and now I am holding at 3 mos!!!! I exaggerate a little. It actually is going surprisingly well. I probably can thank my 9lb baby for that. He is thriving. Went to the doctor today for a well visit and he is gaining weight and we anticipate he will regain to his birth wt (a whopping 9lb 4 oz) very soon.
He still is slightly jaundice and isn't moving his bowels as he should; which coincidently will help with the jaundice. So, we are praying for our own little miracle of improved bowel movements. I can't believe my prayers have changed so drastically!! I am praying for baby poop!! what have I become? I have become a mother- that is what I have become and I wouldn't trade one second of it!! God bless and please leave comments and let us know what you think

Hi Heather and Chris! Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy--he is adorable! Was he born on the 21st? If so, I will never forget his birthday, because that is my birthday. Anyway...I will pray for poop, though I'm sure it's already getting better. Well, just wanted to say congratulations and I am so happy for you. ---Charlotte
