I know, I know...


Being a new mom certainly throws a wrench in the consistent blogging...not that I was very good at it before, but you get the drift...Let me summarize the last few weeks for you...


Went to the doctor and found out that Hailey had been losing weight...he's VERY concerned, and sent us to have an ultrasound done of her stomach to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with her digestive tract...fortunately it looked fine, so the consencus is that after taking Sudafed for several days to deal with a sinus headache, it was drying up my milk!!! Anyone who is or will be nursing their baby and wants to do so very long, DO NOT TAKE SUDAFED!! It will cause you to have to take prescription drugs, feed EVERY 3 hours (even at night), and pump to suplement after every feeding...let me just say that every 3 hours means start the next feeding 3 hours after BEGINNING the previous one...when it takes you an hour and a half to nurse, bottle-feed and pump, it doesn't give much time for other things...like sleep or showers!!
It is encouraging to have been to the doctor yesterday and find out that she's gained 6 ounces this week and now weighs 9lbs, 12oz. Hopefully it's all going to be good from here...but I'm waiting for the doc to tell me I can stop with the night feedings!! :)


2. We had a lovely bridal shower for my best friend Stephanie on Sunday...it was tons of fun, and I only hope it blessed her socks off! Two weeks from Saturday I'll be the matron of honor in their wedding and I can't wait!!! :)


Gosh, that's all...see?? My life's pretty simple...just being a mom... :)

Okay Jess
Auntie Lisa wants to see some new pics of my niece. I'm sure she's changing so much already. Is she saying my name yet??
