I wanted to post a few more pictures and let y'all know that everything is still going great. Aside from sore boobies, I have no complaints. :) It has been wonderful having Ryan home. He has been such a servant and I love to see him with Madalyn. He loves her so much! Tomorrow will be a sad day when he goes back to work. :(
Oh, if anyone has any tricks to help with the "soreness", I would love to hear them. It isn't unbearable, but anything could help.

So precious! It is so fun to see daddy's with their babies, isn't it? :) Congrats, again.
For the soreness-
Lansinoh cream and hot showers!
Good news is it will go away. I promise. I did not believe the nurses or the lactation consultant when she said that but it ended up being true.
www.kellymom.com is a great resource for breastfeeding questions.
She's gorgeous... and I'm so glad that you guys seem to be settling in easily. :-)
I am so excited that Dad & I are going to see you on Friday. I can't wait to hold my granddaughter again. She is so beautiful. Sore boobies: warm compresses and don't become engorged. Pump, but do it lightly at first. Remember to change her position each time she nurses.
love mother
She is beautiful! Congratulations. I would love to hear from you about the all natural birth since that is the way I am going. Shoot me an email at cristiemercer@yahoo.com and we can chat on the phone! So excited for you both!!
She is Beautiful! The Lansinoh helps alot, but also there are breastshield made by medela that are a hard shell and your nipple goes in a hole in the middle. You wear them all the time and it keeps the nipple suspended and about to breath. You can get them at babies'r'us for $14 with the breast pump supplies. Also don't start pumping till she's at least a month old and is on a schedule. Your body will produce as much as taken out. And if you pump too early you are going to be engorged all the time and in pain. I had tons of milk and was able to pump 18 to 24oz a day waiting until a month. Now if she isn't eating good from you and you want to keep your milk flow high then I would pump like once in the morning and freeze it. Also I don't know if you have to go back to work or not. But I stored up about 200 oz so when he stayed with my mom and at the daycare I would have enough milk for him. But you still have to pump every 3-4 hrs. It's tricky but you'll get it down. I feed Lyndon only breastmilk until 6mths and now he's almost 11mths and I'm still feeding him breastmilk at least once a day and girl he has 6 teeth now. I though I would quit when he got teeth but he's doing good and not bitting me. We'll god luck, if you need anything else my e-mail address is stephaniedummer@hotmail.com! Your doing great, enjoy every minute they grow so fast! Love you!
so excited for you... she is beautiful
