One Month Update

Lily,
  Sometimes I just look at you, and can't believe you're mine. Best thing I've ever done in my life. Everyone says when you have a baby its a love like no other. Oh, how right they were. When you were placed in my arms an indescribable love came over me that I didn't know I was capable of. My life will be forever changed. I can not imagine a better job than being your Mom. You are the sweetest, most perfect addition to our family!
   Alright, enough with all the mushy stuff. This month was about getting to know you, and keeping you alive hahaha. No, seriously, though. Making sure to feed you every two hours (Not that you would let us forget or anything). Checking to make sure you were breathing, by shining my cell phone light over you ALL NIGHT LONG.  Yes, you are sleeping in the bassinet right next to me. Yup, that's me, your Mom. You've been hard at work with all the sleeping, eating, playing, sleeping, pooping, and more sleeping all day every day.
Happy ONE month Lilykins we love you!

Diet

Mommy's Milk

Side note- I've been going crazy dealing with a few nursing issues, the main one being an infection. I'm having to pump every 2 hours to keep my supply up while I get better, and yes even during the night when you are sound asleep. We have been seeing a lactation consultant once a week. She has been amazing helping me heal, and checking to make sure you are gaining weight well! Your Dad has been so supportive, and the benefits of me pumping means you still get my milk, and he gets to feed you too :)

Getting out of the bath and having lotion applied to your body. You act like its battery acid :(
