Nursing...

Well, I made up my mind to completely change my diet. (While still dieting) LOL So far it seems to be helping... though it's extremely bland. The last two days have gone better as far as the gas. Yesterday I had one of my 100 calorie snack pack's for breakfast with a bottle of water... crackers and water... easy enough on the belly.. then I had a bowl of oatmeal with skim milk and raisens for lunch... again... bland but perfect for her belly. Then for dinner I had a turkey sub and apples. Today has been similar, except I had a soup in hand and toasted cheese sandwhich for lunch to give me some dairy. SO... now that I've updated my boring diet. lol The nursing has been much smoother... and I've commited to nursing her for every feeding right now to get my milk supply up. Which has made me one sore mama... but I have a content baby who hasn't had any bad gas in 2 days now! That makes it all worth it. :) AND, if I can keep to this diet I should start shedding the pounds in no time. BIG YAY!

So that's where we're at for now... Madeline slept last night from 9pm to 2 am - nursed, and took 2 oz of formula (I wanted her FULL so she'd sleep for another long stretch.) Then from 2:30 - 6:00 am, then she slept till 10 this morning when I woke her up to give her a bath... so it was easy to nurse that middle of the night feeding as I'd gone to bed the same time as her and had a nice 5 hour stretch... LOVE THAT!

Okay, on to the fun stuff... I had some pics taken at Penney's last week of the girls... I don't like them - compared to the Portrait Innovations one's I had done of Liz - these suck, but still.. here's a few shots of my kiddo's! :)
