We have a baby Jaws. :) That is the nickname Joley has picked up. This started because when she is getting ready to nurse, she opens her mouth really wide and has her eyes open nice and big while shakig her head back and forth. When I was hurting really bad, it was like this moment of fear before she latched on. I started calling her Jaws after seeing that mouth coming towards me so many times. … [Read more...]
zzzzz
That would be me nodding off here at the computer. Actually, last night was better. I nursed Joley around 12-something and we slept until 6-something.

All.night. I serioulsy want to cry sometimes. She is crying or fussing … [Read more...]
It is like starting over
My boobs hurt. I expected it to some degree because it is like breastfeeding from the beginning all over but man. ugh. The good news is that Joley hasn't used the shield since yesterday morning! Even with being engorged this morning, she still latched on. I have to correct her latch often but I am hopeful that we will get it figured out soon. I am just glad to not have to use the shield … [Read more...]
