Undocumented firsts & new things

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: November 4, 2010

I feel kind of bad that some of Jeremy’s firsts are not documented at all.  Some spaces in his baby book will just remain blank, unless I suddenly have a flash of total recall.  Certain firsts, like the first time he tried a food, have a definite date that should have been recorded.  Other firsts, [...]

The scoop on poop

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: October 7, 2010

The range of bowel movements for babies varies greatly.  Sometimes it depends on what they are eating.  If a baby is breastfed, it is not unusual for that baby to poop as infrequently as every 7-10 days.  And that is normal. Other babies, whether breastfed or not, may poop once a day, or multiple times [...]

Supply & Demand

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: May 7, 2010

My supply of breastmilk has increased.  I couldn’t tell until I pumped on Tuesday.  In the old days, I used to get about 1 oz of milk out of both boobs & it took me about 30 minutes to get that much.  I mentioned that on Tuesday I didn’t feed Jeremy that evening & night [...]

Hard as a rock

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: May 5, 2010

While nursing Jeremy in the wee hours on Tuesday, I was a bit more uncomfortable than usual on my right side.  Poor nipple.  I wrote it off as a bad latch, and thought no more of it until Tuesday afternoon.  I was nursing Jeremy again around 4 pm.  The left side was fine.  The right [...]

I wonder why…

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: May 1, 2010

Why is a mommy’s work is never done, while daddy is snoring? Seriously.  I’ve been exhausted all week.  I had a craptastic day yesterday.  Jeremy had gas pains sent from the devil himself.  He fussed, cried, screamed & shrieked.  It wasn’t all bad.  We napped a bit, and there were some smiles from him, but [...]

Tune in to Tokyo

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: April 28, 2010

While nursing Jeremy, he has a tendancy to pop off if he’s; bored,  gassy, or getting full.  He also tends to fall asleep on the job.  In the past, he’s tweaked his “surroundings” shall we say, but it was always unintentional.  Well, now that he’s discovered his hands, I think he’s doing it on purpose.  [...]

Sprung a leak?

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: April 25, 2010

A morning run + not nursing baby immediately beforehand = leaky boobs (post-run) Lord only knows what they do during the run, but thank goodness for nursing pads!

The Sandman Cometh

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: April 23, 2010

Today was a very sleepy day.  I could barely keep my eyes open, and I guess Jeremy felt the same way.  We both had multiple naps throughout the morning & afternoon.  Jeremy’s longest one was approximately three hours! He even proceeded to have a couple more naps in the evening, and I joined him for [...]

Three Milestone Day

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: April 1, 2010

1. It was my first whole work day at home alone with Baby J because hubby had to go into the office.  We survived, and had a pretty nice day too. 2. It was my first successful attempt at the side lying position of BF’ing.  Love this position because we actually had a tiny nap [...]

More pumping success!

Posted by: celtgoddess23 on: March 9, 2010

Another day, another ounce pumped & saved for later.  Yay! P.S. So freaking tired.  Jeremy was fussy, but I managed to put him to sleep with the glider.  Instead of going to bed, I took the opportunity to catch up on some blogging.  Stupid.  I’ll regret this decision in the morning I’m sure, if not [...]
