Going Bananas!!

3 Months!!

Christian is steadily growing and is now a whole 3 months and 2 days! I love my little sweetie so much! I see him changing though. He used to be so warm natured, but not anymore and I'm not sure I smell that baby smell on him anymore?! Wahhhh! His skin was feeling a little rough before, but now it seems to be smoothing out. My maternity leave is over and I returned to work on March 8th. I resigned and gave a 2 week notice since this has been my "home" for 10 years and I will need to a good reference when I do start looking for a job. I'm looking right now for part-time weekend hours. I've been rejected by a few positions I thought would be perfect for me, which of course discouraged me. I have to keep the faith and trust that they were just not the right jobs for me. God will provide for me and our family and I just have to be strong and try to resist the negativity. I will enjoy all the special moments I'll be able to share with Christian while being a stay at home mommy! Our plan is for me to be home with him for a year.

Monday when Christian turned 3 months me and daddy took Christian for pictures at JC Penney and they came out great!! I can really see how Christian has changed, no more swollen little eyes and a lot more hair! He is simply adorable and I'm so proud to be his mommy!

3 Weeks and 1 day Later...

I'm still in love with our newest family member, but I'm frustrated with the whole breastfeeding process. I am producing milk, just not enough and we're having to supplement with formula. I'm ready to give up, but Carlos thinks we should give it a little more time. It's easier said than done. I hate to see Christian so fussy because he's hungry. I can keep him happy if he stays breastfeeding 24/7, but what kind of mommy experience is that? I have plenty to do around the house, which includes taking care of myself as well. Breast feeding is definitely a challenge and I commend any woman who can do it and actually sticks with it. Kudos to you! I'm ready to enjoy Christian more, but in the meantime we'll try it a lot more and try weighing Christian again using our scale. Today Christian weighed 8.32 oz which is 5 more ounces than last time, 7.12 oz. I'm happy to know he's not loosing weight, but I really think its the supplementing we're doing that is really helping the weight gain. We've taken over 1000 pictures since he was born and I'm in the process of trying to print some out to start our album and to give to my mom. I adore our lil Christian, he's the cutest ever!
