I have intended to sit down and write every single day since we got back from Albany.  I have lots to say. First, our trip went flawlessly.  AFTER we got over the 2 hour delay in CLT on the tarmac, the rest of the trip was smooth as silk.  Dr. Kotlow and his whole staff were amazing, as usual.  They… Read More

A Last Hurrah.

Well, here we go. I’m typing this from the airport. Ruby and I are headed back to Albany to have her tongue tie re-addressed. A few weeks ago, I emailed Dr. Kotlow pictures of Ruby’s tongue, stating that I thought she ha re-adhered. He agreed and told me if we could make our way back out, he would divide the… Read More

I hesitated to post it, because there is a ton of boob.  Really, a ton.  And Ruby was bottomless, but I covered that up.  (It… Read More

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
