Morning Routine

S usually wakes up between 3:30-4:30am.  If her second wake up is after 7am, I feed her and change her out of her pjs (if not, we go back to bed for a couple hours).  She is super cute in the morning and full of energy.


Then I get myself a little breakfast and check my email.


Usually S chills in her chair, but lately she's taken to reading.  No joke.  She LOVES that book.  I'm on the hunt for more like it tomorrow.


On another note, I am having more breastfeeding woes.  This time it's diminished supply!  Nooo!  I'm not sure if it's the IUD, the fact that I've had my period almost non-stop since said IUD, stress, or what, but I'm barely producing enough and a few days have had to supplement with a few ounces of formula.  I'm going to try a few things to get my production up.  Hopefully I won't have to get the IUD out (my doctor said decreased milk supply could be a side effect).  And really, if that ends up being the culprit, I'm not sure that I would want to take it out...  Every time we've used formula I'm amazed at how much easier it is compared to breastfeeding.  But if I can, I'd like to continue breastfeeding (who would've ever thought I'd say that??).  Guess we'll see!

Good luck with the supply. It just disappeared with Sydney but with Rob I was able to keep it up- with pumping and upping my water intake. The doc also recommended an herb for keeping up breastmilk. I'd as Es I'll bet she'd know the name. good luck!
