cabin fever...

is spring here yet? we are so ready.

i do love the down time here in the house with the pups and lillian, but, no more snow! please!! we are all ready to be outside. in the meantime i will dream about lillian in cute little dresses, laying her in her crib without 3 blankets and turning our space heaters off!!

speaking of the little nugget, we head to the pediatrician tomorrow, anxious to know how much she has grown. i can't believe how big she looks, every day she changes so much. yesterday, she took her first bottle. it was such a special moment for hank, as he got to feed her for the first time and lillian LOVED it. she was so milk drunk after, it was hilarious. i am so relieved too, as she doesn't seem to care where the milk comes from. hank is nervous i am going to "give" him the 4am feeding :) haha. good to know i have the option anyway!!!

in order to keep her used to the bottle, and to give hank a feeding once a day with her, i am committing to pumping once a day now. i haven't been doing it regularly- mostly because i haven't had the need to. my milk seems to come in as she needs it and i rarely feel i have too much. i also hate doing it. for those of you who have used a pump before, you know what i am talking about. for those of you who haven't- it is not something to look forward too. i feel so awkward and it kind of hurts! i much prefer just letting her breastfeed, but i want hank to have some bonding time with her like i do. and since she really just eats and sleeps right now, i think it is so important he gets the opportunity to feed her.

off to snuggle my little lady. she is amazing. love, love, love.
