Well, while my little man is sleeping, I thought I would update real quickly. (Since I actually have two hands right now!) Things are going well. We are adjusting to parenthood really well. There have been a couple bumps in the road and some things haven't gone quite like we expected, but I am sure it will all work out. We went to the doc on Thursday and he is growing, however I was talking to him about how after I would feed D, about an hour to an hour and a half later he would be screaming and wanting to eat again. I told him how this has gone on for a few days. He told me to pump a bottle and see how much I produce, so after I did that, I learned that I wasn't producing near enough milk to make the little guy not hungry, really I was just pacifying him. The doc said that we would need to supplement with formula after everytime I feed him. Our goal was not to have to buy formula, but since we are going to have to anyway, we just switched totally to bottle. I really didn't want that to happen, but you got to do what you got to do I guess. And little D is so much more happy now that he is getting fed in good quantities. He is only waking up twice during the night and after he is eating he is going straight back to sleep, so that is nice. It is still a little exhausting though, but I am sure my body will adjust to it.
Everything else seems to be doing well. We had lots of rain come down today, I am glad we got the mowing done yesterday! We also put an ad in the paper for Bo. Caleb and I agreed that having him and the baby is just too much for us right now. So, if you want a free house-trained, neutered dog that is just 1 year old, let me know! I suppose I should make use of the rest of my time to do some laundry and other things. Thanks for checking in on us!
