Everyone Says Allen....


I see Allen in him too... but it makes me sad no one thinks he looks like me at all.


... Nothin?.. Not even the chin? Eyebrows maybe?

Question?


I don't know too much about breastfeeding and so far with Zane it has been going really well. I tried with Karlee but it was horrible and I hated it.

I have some questions so if anyone has some answers I would love to hear.

-How much water should I be drinking everyday?... If your only drinking water, will your milk still be filling for baby or will it be watery? This might be a dumb question but for some reason in my head I feel like I should drink milk or something else.

-When is the best time to pump? I feed him about every 4 hours and after I feed him, there is hardly anything to pump. I am only trying to pump because every-once in a while I will be going in office for work and will need to leave a bottle for the babysitter. At this rate, It will take me 2 days to have enough for 1 tiny bottle.

-Are their certain foods that help build your milk supply up? My mom seems to think that lettuce used to help her.

-If I feel like I have a sore throat or might be getting sick, should I stop nursing? Will my baby get sick if I keep nursing?

Dont laugh at me. This has been a rocky road for me. I know that breast feeding is good for my baby so I am willing to try and put my best effort into it. I hated it with Karlee and swore I would never even try with my next baby. Zane has been really good but its still not an easy thing to do. I like that it is convenient and I dont have to wake up and go make a bottle, or that I get to have time alone with my little guy.... but, sometimes it makes me feel like a single parent. Sometimes I wish I could just have a break and Allen could feed him.
Any tips or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated right about now.

I do it...

Karlee wants to do everything herself... I was playing with the settings on our new camera and happened to catch this funny sequence. She is trying to put her shirt on by her self and it doesn't work out.
