Confessions?
Re: Confessions?
Congrats! And try not to stress out too much...it should be fun
.
My confession is more like a first world problem. We booked our annual vacation, and this year it's Italy. This is after going to Scotland last fall. Don't get me wrong; these are some great trips, but they are stressful...planning itinteraies, coordinating travel from one city to the next, changing hotel rooms every couple of days.
We are trying to squeeze in the mega trips before we have kids, but I'd really like to kick back at an AI in Mexico.
If I were at work I would be doing the same thing...so slow right now. Thanks, it was okay...dont ever go to the boathouse that was all I will say on that topic. ha!
Well that pictures from 6 years ago haa ...my H is 32
Babe- please don't beat yourself up. I've often said breast feeding was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It's like getting pregnant, and having an uneventful vaginal birth, we just think these things are going to happen and happen easily because they have for centuries. Instead of focusing on your perceived failure fICUs on the extra time you now have to spend with him. And if you have more kids you can try again.
I could have written this myself...I went through a similar thing with Oliver. He was on all formula by 8 weeks old and I beat myself up over it. It seriously took a year for me to forgive myself and realize that a happy mom = a happy baby!!! I grieved the breastfeeding experience. I would cry whenever I saw a mom breastfeeding, or if a mom passed me in the halls at work to go to the pump room. Please try to go easy on yourself and enjoy the healthy, happy baby that's in front of you!
Fast forward to Graeme 3 years later, and I've been exclusively pumping since day one and my supply is fine. It's a LOT of work to get enough each day, but I'm doing it. He also latched perfectly and breastfed for a few weeks after he was born (after his open heart surgery, he lost the ability to nurse...which is a whole different story). But, he's still getting my milk and I'm so happy. This is proof that so many factors go into breastfeeding success, and just because it doesn't work this time doesn't mean it won't work for you in the future.
Did I miss the baby birth announcement?
im having them at the same time. It's not a full tummy tuck but sounds a lot better than "fat apron removal". Cesction scheduled for 6/28 at 12:30 followed immediately by plastic surgery.
Very interesting. How does that work with anesthesia? Also, what happens if you go into labor on your own? Best of luck, btw!
i hope all goes according to plan.
i don't have much to confess. I'm on vacation in OBX with my guy and my daughter at the moment and it's delightful. I'm glad the semester is over and I got a nursing internship for the summer that starts in June. I'm enjoying a bit of down time til then.
