It's not really problems with BFing I guess, just some things I don't understand:

1. She totally fights latching every time, even when she is starving. She arches her back and pushes on me with her little arms. I literally have to hold her body out and manouver myself to get her on, then she will relax her body and I can bring her in closer to me. ( Read more... )

This is wayyyyy overdue, as Rachel was born last Monday (August 28th)!!  I've just been too busy/happy being a Mommy to post!

I can't believe that this time, two years ago, I had this tiny baby in my arms who was literally like a little doll, and whom I didn't know at all. She was so little she couldn't even nurse, and was so helpless. I remember feeling overwhelmed by love and fear, and feeling that there was no way I could possibly be a Mommy and do the word justice ( Read more... )

Seriously. I'm so disgusted with human beings right now - well, specifically the one that cut the F---ing gas tank off our truck Yesterday, and stole it ( Read more... )

Starting to feel a tiny bit better. The hospital stay certainly helped to get me over the 'hump'. I'm really hoping to get back to work this Monday ( Read more... )
