So I think it would be a good idea to write about some of the things people don't really tell you to prepare for after the birth. LOL, however, part of my blog appears on facebook and I am just imagining the first three sentences that pop up to have the words vagina written all over them! &nbs...

Continued from 11/6/10. We decided to breast feed and pump depending on the situation. The problem was FJ was spending approximately 40 minutes or more breast feeding and still seemed hungry a short while later. It was like I spent the day breast feeding or afterwards supplementing with ...

Continued from 11/6/10. Later that same day after telling the nurses we had opted not to breast feed FJ I found out the real reason why they had exchanged looks about what I'd said. In a very politically correct way they explained that maybe my lactation nurse had not been a good match a...

Continued from 11/4/10. FJ was improving from the pneumonia and the doctor had now given me the OK to begin breast feeding. The nurse had already called in the lactation nurse before we had even arrived at the SCN that day. Remember, I had already mentioned how leery I was of these...

Continued from 11/3/10. While I was trying to figure out this whole breast feeding thing I tried to read all the information the hospital had given me on the subject so I could make an educated decision. In the meantime I was pumping like crazy and wow, the keeping up with the sanitary f...

Continued from 11/1/10. I spoke of how difficult it was for my husband to see our son in the Special Care Nursery but I didn't get to my own meltdown (which I feel I have had more frequently since I've been pregnant and I hate not feeling in control of my emotions!). We spent the entire ...

Continued from 10/31/10. It was so funny how excited my husband and I were on the day after delivery to go up to the Special Care Nursery and see FJ. It was as if it was Christmas...we were rushing to get ready so we could be up there all day. Nothing prepares you for the shock of ...
