This is one reason why I didn't want a blog to begin with...I don't really have anything to say. My days have been filled with taking care of Tyler. He is still the cutest boy ever....and he is doing well. I can't believe he is going to be six weeks old on Sunday! Next week we go to Omaha for Thanksgiving...it will be nice to get away for a few days...staying at home all the time is no fun. I can't wait to start school so I have something more to do besides feed a baby. But I do love taking care of Tyler. On another note..I feel like my milk supply is not that great. Tyler eats about every two hours in the day....when we put him down for the night he sleeps three to four hours and then wakes up to eat then sleeps two to three more hours. Some nights I only wake up once! It's great. Can't wait until he sleeps the WHOLE night. But anyway, when I pump milk I am only getting about 1 to 1 1/2 ounces each time. I feel like maybe I should be getting more? Tyler is always happy after he eats...so I know he is getting enough. I just wish I could pump more because it's hard to fill a 4 ounce bottle when I am not getting much each time. And that's how much he eats from a bottle. He would probably eat 5 ounces but I really don't think I could do that. Maybe I am not pumping right or long enough...I don't know. Anyway, that's my life now. Nothing exciting to talk about.

Don't worry! You're supply is FINE. Heck, just look at the weight that kid gained in 4 weeks!! 7lbs to NINE pounds?? And not even 18 inches long to TWENTY-TWO inches?! Yeah. He's getting plenty:) And pumping enough will come with time...:)

sometimes you can pump more with your own hand that a pump. I used to do that. Just be careful you don't hurt yourself. He is feeding pretty normal for his age. Mine were the same way. You are doing great Maria. I love you girl. I'm so proud of you.
