Look at this craziness! My babies could have been twins! I love it! I am so excited to see how Addie Mae changes. Harlon changed so much and looks nothing like this now so it will be fun. An nurse came to the house this morning to do Addie Mae's 2 weeks check up. She has gained enough weight that I can stop the formula all together. That is great. I am scared and unsure if I am cut out for this though. In giving formula it has made her a very lazy nurser. The only way to get her to nurse is give her no other option. It is going to be hell for me until she gets the hang of it. I have such mixed feeling about it. Pray for me, Lord knows I need it. My mom is arriving tonight for 3 weeks, if she wasn't coming there is no way I would even be trying to continue nursing. Here goes nothing. On a happier note, Addie Mae's check up was great. Her reflexes and body are great. I thought we had Thrush but the nurse isn't so sure. She told me how to clean her mouth and said that should help. The nurse gave me some good tips on how to help Harlon through this transition too and told me I have to take it easy that my body is far from healed. It is nearly impossible to take it easy and lay down all day long when you have 2 children. I guess I need prayers on that too. I love my family and just want to do what is right for all of us.

Jamie I will be praying for you and your fam. So glad to hear your mom is coming to stay with you. That will be a life savor! I remember how tough it was when Aiden was born. Two little ones is rough! It will get better! By the 2 month mark Addie will be on a sched Harlon will have adjusted (mostly ;) and life will be a little easier! (((HUGS))) from a sympathetic momma!
