Soy Baby

Well, upon visiting the pediatrician yesterday, we’ve discovered that the Little Bug may be intolerant to milk protein. Not an allergy per se, but a sensitivity, just like Mom. (Really, what’s with this referring to myself in the third person? I can’t seem to stop it.) In fact, it was my mentioning that I was [...]

Cost of Living

Here’s what I’ve discovered: babies aren’t necessarily expensive, but figuring out what works for them is.
For instance, I had scoffed at things such as swings, gliders, bouncy chairs and SnugRide car seats with strollers to which you can attach the seat. Now, we have all of those things. I bought two breast pumps–one for $150 [...]

Mom’s First Day Alone With the Little Bug

So, today was Fred’s first day back to work since June was born. It seems a bit cheesy, but I got quite teary when he was leaving this morning. It has been so wonderful to have him here, both of us getting to know June, both of us able to help the other when we [...]

Boobs vs. Bottles

This breastfeeding thing is quite a challenge. It seems that I just don’t make enough milk. Every time I feed June, she’s still starving afterwards and I’ve given all I’ve got. I’ve tried pumping in order to up the milk supply, but that hasn’t worked out so well, and the most I can pump at [...]

“What if she doesn’t end up like Eleanor?”

Fdot and I were given a date night last night, as Grandma Jeanni and Great Aunt Betsy are in town. It was quite lovely–a long, luscious dinner including alcoholic beverages! Yay! We promised each other that we wouldn’t talk about June, but that’s impossible; she just is our life right now.
