Sneak a Peek of Piper

Sneak a Peek of Piper

August 30, 2011

I had my first newborn photoshoot today. My model was 3 day old(!) Piper.  She participated so well… only pooped twice, and let me pose her over and over again.

Breastfeeding Ruby – Update

August 21, 2011

It’s been almost two weeks since I talked about breastfeeding! Heck, it’s been almost a week since I’ve posted at all.  Whoops. Since I last posted, I had a heartbreak.  I stopped nursing all together.  I started focusing on my pumping output, and making sure Ruby was getting enough from a bottle.  We stopped practicing all of our bottle habits… Read More
