A new adventure

So, if you don’t know yet, I am a new mom! Two weeks ago I was in the hospital in labor.

It is amazing how much she has changed in almost 2 weeks. We’re slowly getting used to her schedule and she’s slowly learning the concept of sleeping at night and being awake during the day. We’re still having trouble getting her to latch on and breast feed so it makes catching any sort of nap while she’s sleeping pretty much impossible. Right now I am pumping and then feeding her the breast milk via a bottle. During that time we try to get her to latch on. After she’s done eating, I need to finish pumping and clean up the pump. By the time I’m done doing that, I get 20 minutes or less to rest before she’s ready to eat again. It becomes quite tiring but we’re doing what we need to do to make sure she’s getting breast milk and not formula.

Well, my little piglet is hungry again!
