Long time no post...
Have I updated since I posted Ella's birth story? I don't think so. So much has happened over the past year. Adjusting to two kids has been crazy, and we moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania. So here it goes...
A few months before Ella was born, Ty started to change. He's always been very sweet and sensitive, but around 2 1/2 (around the time he ( Read more... ) -
Ella's Birth Story
I loved being pregnant both times, probably even more with this pregnancy. I felt great the whole time (I felt great with both pregnancies) and loved my belly. I carried all out front and definitely looked pregnant throughout, instead of fat. Plus I felt more connected to Baby than I did with my first pregnancy; it all seemed so abstract when I ( Read more... ) -
Dropping supply?
My daughter was born last Monday weighing 7lbs15oz. We got a great latch right away and she only lost a few ounces (about 3% of her birth weight) by the time my milk came in early Thursday morning.
Once my milk came in she would nurse quite frequently during the day but maybe once during the night, going about 5-6 hour stretch before waking to ( Read more... ) -
Still Week 37, Still Cookin'!
37w 4d
My OB appt went very well, normally I wouldn't have one at 37 weeks but with last week's blood pressure I had to go in this week. The results - everything is wonderfully normal! BP 120/69, normal levels of protein in urine, Baby is still head down, measuring right at 37 weeks, lots of great movement. I'm tired and a wee bit achy, but ( Read more... ) -

maybe 37w 1d (1st U/S)
...depending on how you're counting this pregnancy.
So it's been about 3 months since I last updated about my pregnancy. Yup, nothing like keeping an accurate record! I'll just start with today and work my way back.
I went for my 36 week appointment at the OB today. And my blood pressure was high. *sigh* I'm ( Read more... ) -
Long time, no update
So I haven't posted an entry here since before Halloween. Let' start there.
Back in March Tyler discovered airplanes, and from there it snow-balled into trains, cars, trucks, etc. Around Halloween he was particularly into trains, so I dressed him up as a conductor. This may be the last Halloween I have a say in his costume choic :o( Best part ( Read more... ) -
The end of breastfeeding Tyler
When I was pregnant with Tyler, I didn't really know what my goals were as far as breastfeeding. I've become much more educated about it since Tyler was born. I knew I wanted to try, I wanted to breastfeed Tyler. We had a rocky start. My milk was slow to come in, which wasn't a problem for us. But at about day 6 when my milk came in, my ( Read more... ) -
Fun Times in Canada With My Little Guy
As I mentioned in my 23 week pregnancy update, Tyler and I have been busy and having lots of fun!
Last Thursday we had a rainy day (too much rain this trip!) so Tyler and I headed back to Kids Zone to climb and play.
( Fun times! )
