Agghhh! I totally missed your sweet little girl’s arrival! CONGRATULATIONS! What a miracle!!!

You know, I feel your pain – I never EVER made more than about 3 ounces (on a good day!), and I worked with lactation nurses, La Leche League folks, etc. I did everything short of taking drugs. Breastfeeding was so hard for me, I always had to supplement, and I really struggled to not feel like a failure. A friend reminded me that it’s my job to feed my child – if that means supplementing, then GREAT! I’m doing my job!

Congratulations! So happy for you!

your mom has a lot of character – looking forward to more stories.

and good job on selling the car. sometimes I need to remind myself too that convenience is often worth the lower selling price. The headache is not worth it!!

Glad you and your little ones are doing well 🙂

Hi love! I totally understand loving to have your mom there yet being made crazy by here. As Chris Rock ised to say… “I understand”.

Also, don’t be too hard on yourself with breastfeeding. It’s wonderful that you are committed but despite what some will say, not every woman produces enough. (I had a friend that would pump until she bled and never got more than an ounce. Finally, her doctor forced her to stop). Continue to do your best but remember to be kind to yourself.

Lots of love to you!
🙂

A T-shirt strike? I would freak. And I’m a teacher!

I always sell back to the dealership because I HATE the hassle of selling a car.

You are going to be just fine. Treasure your mother. She is the only one you have.

I still feel insecure, but I am trying to be positive. I know so much of it has to do with my mental state.

Hi Mami, Your Mom sounds so funny and I cannot wait to hear more stories involving her. Finances really suck around here lately too. We got rid of a car and the trailer we used to tow hubby’s motorcycle. However; I do have a book coming out very soon and you never know right? Let your Mom do her thing and get some sleep while you can 🙂

Striking ‘t-chirts’! 😀 Sitting on the outside here that’s funny, although I do appreciate that when you’re sleep deprived it might be a little less funny.

I think you did the right thing about the car. Sometimes you need to look at things differently and re-prioritise for the sake of convenience and sanity. It’s one less thing to worry about now.

Don’t feel bad. Lots of women, LOTS don’t make enough.

Breastfeeding is certainly a commitment, regardless of the ease.I had trouble with baby #2 and felt the same feelings of inadequacy. While I’m 100% supportive of you to keep trying, remember that what’s most important is that the baby gets FED, no matter the source (like you need more advice…sheesh!)

I think convenience (especially in your case) is definitely worth it!

Moms can be so great….and so not great….all at the same time. It is their gifting.

Can.not.wait to hear about your mom not meeting Jerry Seinfeld.

Why is it our Mums always drive us mad, yet here we are hoping it will not happen to us with our daughters:)

Congrats on your determination to breastfeed! That is wonderful! It sounds like selling the car back to the dealership was well worth it. Can’t wait to hear the “mom stories.”

Good for you for continuing to breastfeed! Congratulations on your new baby! I totally get selling the car back to the dealership. Even if it’s less money, it’s so simple.
