Well little baby, we got through our first week of daycare. You had a rough first day! You wouldn't eat ANYTHING and I think you cried just about the whole day. It sounded like you occasionally passed out from exhaustion, but as soon as your batteries recharged you were up to cry some more. It got better as the week went on, but you still aren't eating much. You will only eat for Ms. A, and even then it is hit or miss. I want you to eat, but I also really love our nursing relationship and I'm so worried you will start to prefer a bottle! And let's get serious here, you are about the size of an 8 month old, so missing a few ounces during the day isn't going to kill you! Breast is best, baby!
Speaking of size, you have your 4 month well check this week. Using our super scientific bathroom scale and tape measure, we estimate you to be about 17.2 lbs and 26 inches long. It will be interesting to see your actual stats. I don't know why I'm so proud of how big you are. I feed you just the same as every other responsible mother feeds her baby, but you are so fat and wonderful! After all we've gone through with the cows' milk protein intolerance, thrush, plugged ducts, PPD..... we are STILL nursing and you are SO healthy and it just amazes me the way that God has made our bodies work together so perfectly.
Have I mentioned your dairy issues, yet? Well, you have an issues with cows' milk, which means if I eat any milk products then you have very disturbing diapers. This means I can eat pretty much nothing delicious. It has been hard, and I'm hungry a lot... but now I am skinny and you are not so it has all worked out! The doctor says you should out grow this so hopefully you will be able to enjoy all the deliciousness cows' milk has to offer!
You haven't slept much today. We finally got you down, but it is 6:00... too late for a nap but too early for the night. We'll see how much you end up sleeping!!
