She's Here!!
Little Miss Addison made it here March 12 @6:19pm. She weighed 7lb and was 20in long. Mom and baby are doing well but mom is SUPER tired! We are attempting breastfeeding but it has been much more of a challenge than I ever dreamed. I will post pics as soon as I can steal the camera back from Zach to upload them....very proud daddy! If anyone has any encouraging words about breastfeeding I'm all ears...we're trying but having to supplement some with pumping anf formula. More details to come! Back to sleep for mom :)

I don't have any specific advice about breastfeeding. For me, it was one of those things that I just had to hang in there until it got better. I know it's hard now, but things will get easier and you will get more sleep. :)
Oh, and she's beautiful! Congrats!
Congratulations!!! She's beautiful. As for BFing, the book "The Nursing Mother's Companion," was extremely helpful to me. It got me through the tough times with Wyatt.
She is SUPER cute. Ensley can't wait to meet her best friend!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! We are SOOO EXCITED for you all! She is absolutely gorgeous! Many continued blessings!
Congrats! Woohoo! I'm so excited for you all and I can't wait to see more pictures! I wish I had some good advice for you - I've heard so many people have a hard time... just keep your spirits up and don't get discouraged! I can only imagine what an amazing mom you will be!
Congratulations -- she looks a little like Dad in this picture!! Hang in there with the breastfeeding -- I didn't do it, so I'm not much help except for supporting you. Enjoy her and get sleep when you can!! Love you all.
Beautiful, sweet baby girl! Congratulations!
You might want to talk with the lactation consultant at your hospital. You can go in and they will watch you bf and then give you some advice and pointers!
She is beautiful! I want to come bring you guys dinner and see her! I wanted to call and come see you in the hospital, but Karson had croup and I didn't wanna chance infecting your precious baby. I encourage you to get help from a lactation consultant. It is a free service from the hospital and they can help the baby learn what to do. Breastfeeding is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful......but it can be tricky for some babies. Don't give up! It is worth the trouble!!!!
Congratulations Kristen!! She is soo beautiful! I hope nursing gets better! Just hang in there! I thought the first 3 weeks were the hardest! Love ya!
