I know I've been a terrible blogger. Having a newborn is hard. Everyone said it would be and they weren't kidding. The hardest part for me is breastfeeding. Quinn is 1 month today and it still hurts every time! So far the only formula we've given her was that little bit when I had to go back to the hospital to have my csection repaired, but I'm on the verge of not letting her nurse at all anymore. If we go that route, I will pump what I can and supplement with some formula. It's a hard decision to make, but nursing is just excruciating to me and has me in tears half the time.
Anyways, here are some gorgeous pictures of my little princess that my friend Morgan Trinker took when Quinn was just 10 days old. She's chubbier now and I so wish I could slow down the growing procecss and keep her sweet and tiny forever. But I am looking forward to her sleeping more at night and she has to grow to do that.
Here are the beautiful pics:
Hope, she is just so beautiful! So sorry I did not get to see her while in Knoxville. Maybe in the fall. I also had pain breastfeeding- it was awful. Longest I breast fed was 5 weeks with my 1st one. Tried with the second one and was somewhat better but had to stop at 3 weeks for other reasons. Do not feel you must torture yourself.
Oh I love the pics!!!! She is so tiny & cute! The nursing sounds so painful, you poor thing. God Bless you for doing it this long, I dont know how you do it. Thanks for the update..its nice to know how things are going. xoxoxox
OH MY GOSH!!!!! I LOVE that one of her in the chair. She's just too beautiful. Sorry you're having a hard time BF. I had to give up with Sam after 6 weeks. There are lots of opinions on the subject, do what's best for you! Enjoy that bug.
Oh my gosh, she's just too beautiful! I love the one of her looking up at the camera and yawning! And the one of her wrapped up on the turquoise chair. Such amazing pictures!
For some reason, my comment will not go through...I am trying one more time. :)
Congratulations! She is beautiful, enjoy her!! Hope you are getting rest.
Girl.. I know your pain. Breastfeeding & I didn't click, either. It killed me too, what with how I'm big in to "natural" and all that. I lasted as long as I could (which happened to be 4 mos) but just couldn't do it longer than that. I also had a serious problem producing milk so Aris was hungry every 30 minutes. Nightmare!! I don't think she slept through the night until she was well over 6 months old.
I know how those first few months can feel like an eternity, but eventually it'll all happen so fast. Enjoy the teeny moments, I know you do. :)
She's absolutely beautiful, btw.
You must post more curent pics when you have time, miss you!
I found you through Megan's blog, In This Wonderful Life. Your baby is so precious!
Hi Hope! I'm not sure what is going on with the code. No one else mentioned any problems and Tea let me know some orders have come through. I will find out what is going on for you!
