Breastfeeding Struggles

bfthumb

I'm in serious need of a pep talk. Looking back to my first week of breastfeeding with Kaydence, I now remember just how hard this is. I'm still not sure how I made it through that first month with her. This week has been filled with cracked, bleeding nipples, my breasts have swollen to the size of small watermelons and every feeding feels like razor blades to my chest. I know I shouldn't complain, … [Read more...]

Last Minute Baby Name Change

newpickemma

You may have noticed Emma's name is a little longer than we had originally planned.

You see, my maternal grandmother passed away when I was just a few months old. After hearing this I knew that we needed to … [Read more...]

40 Weeks Pregnant – Checkup and Belly

40weekspregnant

Alright ladies, this isn't funny anymore. My little girl is fully baked and is being pretty stubborn. My OB has officially put me on the countdown and will force me to do an induction by March 6 if this little one doesn't come on her own. After today's appointment we found that I'm now 4cm dialated, plug is gone, blood pressure is still good and I go back in one week for an ultrasound to make sure … [Read more...]
