It's still only about 2 we...yeh, hang in there! It's still only about 2 weeks... for BOTH of you! And I"m soo thankful that you have your parents who are still willing to be there to help! And that we're willing to be honest that this is a demanding stage... I really didn't enjoy having a newborn until Nate!!<br /><br />I had a LOT of trouble nursing Chris... it really was his personality, my comfort level and just everything mixed together. I went to the lactation consultants at the hospital and they were very encouraging....<br /><br />we take nursing sooo personal, like we're DOing something wrong especially when it's a newborn and they aren't gaining weight as fast and we honestly are tired, sore, emotional!! Sometimes we just need to make sure everything is working like it should and then EAT, drink and relax so our bodies can heal and provide.<br /><br />But I found the lactation peeps to be very helpful, it wasn't a miracle cure... it was still a challenge, but I felt empowered;) LOL!<br /><br />Praying for you all!! And call... I can be a listening ear:)In Everythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789551507678673996noreply@blogger.com
