Sleep deprived...

Today was a very long day for me, It started by getting very little sleep as Amelia had a horrible rash on her bottom, All in all I got 5 hours of sleep total!

So I finally caved in and brought her into bed with me, which is where I got most of my sleep from, her laying on my chest able to nurse whenever she pleased. So when nine o’clock rolled around I was able to call the pediatrician and was able to get in. Upon getting there they inform me that she has had an allergic reaction to the A&D ointment I have been putting on her and gave me something to help clear up the rash in case it’s a yeast infection on her bum.

 I was pleasantly surprised when they told me that she is 12 pound 1 ounce! Most people wouldn’t understand why hearing such news is surprising unless they are a nursing mother. Breastfeeding is NO easy task and as of lately it seems more taboo than anything. And quite honestly I was ready to give up, But I have thrown the thought of given up out the window and I am trusting my body to do this, I mean that’s the way nature intended it, So when I get the news my body is doing what it should I got a little surprised and overly excited.

Overall it wasn’t a bad day, I squeezed in a nap with my two beautiful daughters and we enjoyed watching the little mermaid together.  Next post is a recipe and what was for dinner!
