Coo Coo Cachoo & baby smiles too.

It's been a while since I've updated. Baby Daniel has been smiling since about 5 weeks and coos and aaahs too. He is a much easier baby than Jacob was and he has a hold on my heart. I love when he smiles at me. I get the best smiles when he is on the changing table and I ooh and aah over him. The spitting up has slowed down, yay! and the gas can be managed with Mylecon drops for the most part. I returned to work this week and have really bonded with my pump. I feel like Elsie the defective cow because I pump and pump, but don't seem to get enough to appease my lil man's appetite. I've been pumping since his birth, but have never been able to build up a stash. Oh well, he doesn't mind the formula, but it can bind him up. So I started Fenugreek and Mother's Milk tea today to try to boost my supply.
I took Daniel for his 8 week check-up last week and he is now 23 1/2" (21" at birth) and now weighs 13lbs 3oz (9lb7oz at birth, low was 8lbs 10oz). SO it seems like my lil monkey is growing. I've just pulled out the 3-6 month clothing, the 0-3 month is too short. Well my mind is blank (it seems to be a permanent state of oblivion these days), so I'll wrap it up. I just wanted to send out Congrats to all of the sistas who just welcomed their new bundles of love into their arms and continued prayers for those still waiting for their sweet ones to continue to grow until the time comes for them to meet their parents. And a very special prayer to those that are still waiting... Waiting for a BFP, waiting for a child that has already been born and just hasn't met the parents that were meant for them and waiting for peace to come to them about any decisions they need to make on how to bring that child into their lives.
