in conclusion

I have decided to relax and go to it. You know like that awesome 80's song? Except that song is about sex and this is about nursing so not really the same at all I guess. Hmph.

ANYWAY, I am really grateful for all of the advice that was shed on my behalf. It was all great and very helpful. I now have it sorted out what I need to do and also what I need to stop doing. I am positive that soon this will all be water under the bridge. The best news is that ever since I just stepped back and took a deep breath, the Baby Bean has been doing alot better too. I think she could sense my frustration. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Yay for me and yay for you. All of you. Thanks for the support!

P.s. maybe I'll post some pictures one of these days. If you're interested. :)

I like your friends idea. I'm glad you have things figured out. Sorry I didn't offer any advice. I would die. I LOVE nursing. How could you tell you were losing milk? Was she hungry all the time?

I am interested! Pictures of you and your cute kids are always good:)
Plus i just read your last post and the only thing i can tell you is maybe eat more calories? I had a problem of way too much milk at first then around 7 months almost lost it. but i started eating more calories and bam i was back in business! plus your right, stress never helps

I'm sorry to hear about your "milk issues"...I had the same problem. The stress and lack of sleep didn't help. Unfortunately, I had to stop nursing..but I hope that you work it all out!

glad you've got it sorted out. i can't imagine how hard breast feeding would be.
We do need some new pictures, we need to see how little baby girl is growing. ;)

Hi blogger bestie! So I was doing a little thinking while running on Saturday. Do you think it would be weird if I made a shirt that said (on the front) I RUN and then (on the back) to beat Michael Clark (and include his marathon finish time). I mean because seriously it's a problem. I am so competitive that when I run my short runs I think about my cute son and how I'm running to raise awareness for CF but then when I do my long runs and I have more time to think, I'm like...I totally have to beat Michael. Is that weird? Probably is, but I can't help it, I have to have something that keeps me motivated and a little competition never hurt anyone right? Okay and also, the boobie thing... it waxes and wanes. Sometimes I think I may be drying up because I have to pump everyday on my lunch break and I'm like oh my gosh what if nothing comes back. But it always does. So I say don't worry and it's probably fine. That wasn't helpful at all was it?...anyway, still working on holding my title as your blogger bestie...wow that was a really long comment!

Yeah how do you know when you are loosing your milk? Does your baby just get more fussy? Do you not feel the let down anymore? Please let some of us new moms in on this, because I fear that will happen to me too.
