Today was my due date...instead, I have a beautifully precious 5 day old who I am in awe of & amazed by! I haven't had the chance to compose her birth story yet. We have had a challenging couple of days...between my milk not coming in, Elena losing a whole pound & me not able to satisfy her, plus my blood pressure has been through the roof...it really has been challenging...but we're getting the hang of things now & my milk came in today...so it only gets better from here.
Thank you all so much for your well wishes & compliments on her beauty & her name...it's funny how I had so much trouble picking her name & it didn't even end up being any of the names on my original list!! But when I saw her, I just knew Elena was her name.
Thank you all again so much!!!
Welcome, Elena! Tiara--nursing is not easy. I actually gave up and bottle fed my first baby. With my second I tried and was (surprisingly)successful. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your baby girl!
ReplyDeleteHopefully its gotten so much better now that your milk is in. I know I had such a time before that point. Congrats again on Elena!
