It is almost midnight and I am still waiting for Tinley to fall asleep!
I can not believe it has almost been 4 weeks since my little girl was placed in my arms! It really does fly by! Even though I am tired, I have to say I have a very good baby! She sleeps pretty good most of the night and only wakes once or twice! After a quick diaper change by daddy and about 10 minutes of nursing she is ready to go back to sleep! Sometimes around 5am we have to come into the loft and watch a little TV, because she is ready to get up, but we don't want to bother daddy since he has to work! She will usually go back down after an hour and we will sleep till around 8 or 9.
Breastfeeding
I have nusring exclusively and it is wonderful!! I don't understand why anyone would pass up on this amazing bonding experience!! I love bonding with her and knowing that my body can give her all the nutrients that she needs! Yes, it is tough being the only one who can feed her...but it is so worth it! She will be 4 weeks, this weekend and I will have Randy try to give her her 1st bottle. I am a little sad about it, but it needs to be done! For anyone who wants to nurse I would sauy DO IT! The first couple days may be hard (and your nipples will hurt like crazy) but with little more practice and lots of lanolin all will be fine! I have even had to nurse her in a restaurant and only had a few looks, but one lady told me to keep it up! :)
Tinley is getting to be such a big girl! She is starting to try to smile and holding her head up for a few seconds! She is an amazing little baby and I am so lucky to be her mommy!
Love you Tinley!
