Okay here it goes

Okay so I made the dissection to make a blogspot because everyone in my family has one. I figured why not…I mean this is the one thing that I know everyone in my family will look at. Mine as well have something for them to read. Its keeping up with posting blogs is what’s going to be the trouble. Let me just warn you all a head of time. I am a slacker at writing things. This being because my mind goes blank from time to time and I can’t think of anything to write down.

Okay so here it all goes. As you all know I am married and have a beautiful baby girl named Chantelle, (witch by the way is 3 months today). She is making weird noises in her swing right now. Cory (my husband) is sleeping in the next room. He works graveyard (why on earth do they call it that?). I work at Wal-Mart, I hate it. It’s not really my ideal job if you know what I’m saying. I would much rather go to school to become a massage therapist. But our goal right now is to save up and move out and get our own place. That’s what our plan is.

So Chantelle is sleeping through the night, witch is nice except for the fact that I have to give her a bath before she will go to bed. I don’t like this because it’s drying out her skin. She is a little cutie. So the breast feeding is kind of going south. I think she is going though a growth spurt because if my milk isn’t coming to her liking of speed she gets pissed and latches off. It’s making me mad because she isn’t getting enough food. I just want her to be healthy and eat enough. Anyway, I don’t know what I should do. I’m still trying though. Well, I can’t really thing of anything else to write at this point. So I guess that’s all for now.

You need to put baby lotion on her after every bath and maybe not wash her with soap every time she bathes....
You've made it 3 whole months with breastfeeding! WTG!! This is about the time that it gets hard cause you just don't feel like you are making enough milk. I increased my water intake and drank protein shakes every morning to help with production. I also have some tea that is specifically for the promotion of lactation! Let me know if you want some! ;o)
Love you!

Cute blog! Yes, breastfeeding startes to slow down some. Breastfed babies eat in spurts! Some days you feel like you feed them 19 times and other days it feels like 4. Just do what Kari mentioned, it will help! I had to drink tons of water. I agree, too, on the lotion thing! Mason's skin is so dry after a bath that every time he has to have lotion! Or I will put baby oil in the tub right before he gets out. Keep posting! I will keep reading! :o)
