Lots of time has passed but not a whole lot has actually happened. I have just been going on with life. A little bit of packing at Jeanne and George, taking Caleb to school, trying to not let the house over run me. I did go and have a meeting with a Real Estate broker. They are a really good fit for me but I have to wait to join till I can come up with $650 dollars to join the Board.
Lizzie is fine, but she is still fussy all the time! she won't let me put her down she is sooo used to being passed around and around. And she still acts like she is starving every hour and a half! I cannot feed her that often! I refuse! I need my own time. And time for me to catch up and produce more milk! what gets me is when she is sleeping in someones arms she goes three hours easy, or in the bed with me at night she skips a feeding and goes three hours sometimes. Am I being stubborn or cruel? Am I not getting the right cues from her or interpreting them wrong?
On another note she has officially started smiling at me! She is soo cute!
Okay one last note. I want you guys to ask me any and all questions you might have for or about me. I am not shy, and I will answer them all! My friend, Michelle, did this on her blog an I loved it so I want to do it too. Ask Away!

Oh, and about Lizzie- I'm so sorry she's so fussy! Every hour and a half, that must be crazy! I'm a complete novice in this area, of course, but could it be that she's not getting enough milk? Is she still gaining weight pretty well? Maybe you could consider supplementing with formula and see it that helps any?
Just a thought!

Hi Jenny- I answered some questions for someone on my blog today, and some of that might be helpful for you, having to do with breastfeeding. www.banned-from-baby-showers.blogspot.com It's under the comments about my 3rd birth.
I teach a class on newborns and the best piece of advice I can give you, is to recreate the womb. What does that mean? Carry your baby in a sling (it's ok if she sleeps in your arms!), breastfeed as often as she wants/needs to (remember, before being born, she never even experienced hunger), talk to her. This period will be gone in no time and you'll be sad.
I would not supplement. That is not going to help your situation. Your body doesn't need more time to build up a milk supply. It will make milk as she feeds. In fact, the more often you feed her, the more milk you will make.
Some babies need to nurse more than the 2 or 3 hours that you hear people refer to. She is likely growing, or just needs comfort. Don't deny her these things. She's not trying to manipulate you! Babies are not capable of thinking that through!
Remember, recreate the womb, and you'll have a happy mom and a happy baby.
Let me know if you are interested in a baby sling. Good luck and happy breastfeeding!
