1 MONTH ALREADY? WTF?

A walk at miracle beach with our little miracle.
Ruby loves her retro olive green snuggly ...and her daddy.
And for those of you who asked about fur baby number two, Mabel... She is adjusting to our human baby nicely too. As long as we don't forget that she is the real baby. In fact, at 10 lbs, Ruby out weighs Miss Mabel already.

Interesting new mom facts.

1) I practiced pumping milk for the first time yesterday. It was fun. A little creepy-but fun.

2) I changed three consecutive poop explosion diapers in a row while my baby screamed, pissed on me and milk streamed down from my leaking tatas...soaking me entirely. Needless to say, I had to tag out after that one.

3) We had our second to last midwives appointment. Boo Hoo.

4) Part of this blog was written with two fingers, on my lappy, over top of my nursing baby. Look at me go!

You are obviously turning into Supermom already! Way to go! Gotta love babywearing Dad's, eh? And I second the cool but creepiness of pumping for the first time!

Yay for rocking the computerizing while breastfeeding! Didn't the pumping make you feel kind of...bovine?! Ruby's so cute - 10lbs at only a month means you have some impressive milk!

Look at her lifting her head so well in the snuggly picture!! Two handed typing is a total talent and aren't you glad you got the laptop?!?!

I still miss the midwives visits...

Wow, I can so relate. I practiced pumping this week too, I max out at 2 oz, no matter when I do it...need more practice. Thankfully Isaac is much more proficient and he has chunked up to 10 lbs too. Good for you for computerizing and nursing at the same time!
