Week 5

Today my son is 5 weeks old. I can hardly believe it. Each week the hubby and I learn something new. One week it was how to give RJ a bath/shower. Another week it was how I could squeeze in tasks such as laundry, paying bills online, etc. in-between RJ's feedings. It's challenging, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Yeah, I don't get any sleep, and I usually have to inhale my food (which is usually cold), but it's so SO SO worth it. :)

Baby & Me - Day One

Hubby went back to work today. So far day one of just baby and me has been okay. God bless him, except for the usual crying when he's hungry or wet/dirty, he's been an angel. Ahhhh, hope he's this good for a looooooong time :)

Motherhood - Week 2.5

I am sooooo in love with my son. So much, that no matter how exhausted I am, it doesn't matter... Because he was born as a "late pre-term baby", I've had every challenge in the book with breastfeeding. I'm working very closely with a Lactation Consultant, and slowly but surely we're making progress.

Some days we take one step forward, two steps back... but the times he latches on for a good feeding are priceless.

I will continue to try, continue to pray, and continue to stay patient... we'll see what next week brings when the hubby goes back to work.

Baby San Mateo is Here!

It's amazing how much a mother and father can do on such little sleep. Hubby and I are adjusting to having our beautiful baby boy in our lives. It's tiring, but SO incredibly worth it.

Baby & I are having challenges with breast feeding. Thank goodness I found an awesome Lactation Consultant. Here's hoping that we'll get the hang of this soon!!!
