Aww, Baby M, you are loved by so many people already!
Momma, dark hair, or any hair yet? Just wondering if reality jibes with what I saw in my head when you first told us!

As for his name, as long as you don't post his last name, what harm can be done? So PPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE dear Poppy
I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge
Thanks everyone.
I was having some trouble getting the little one to latch on at the hospital, and they had 2 lactation consultants come in and help me with that. They were really helpful, and he was already latching on well by the time we got home from the hospital. The only problem I'm left with is him cuddling up and falling asleep without nursing completely. It has improved a LOT over the past 2 weeks, and I'm definitely feeling more comfortable with nursing now. I do have the contact information for the lactation consultants at my hospital, and I was also given the numbers for local lactation consultants who work outside the hospital. I did call them a few days after discharge, but haven't since then because I felt things were getting easier. Baby had his 2 week appointment yesterday, and he is 3 ounces above his birth weight now, so the doctor felt he's doing well with the nursing. I will definitely get help if I need it. I feel that breast milk is what God has made for my child, and that's what's best for him, so I will be doing my best to keep nursing for as long as possible.
I took a few pics of his little feet today. Will try to post them if he gives me some time.
For a kid that was just born, I'd say he did pretty well in the nursing dept. Give him a little time, he'll get it.
He's sleeping through the night already?? I wish the hell my friend's kid would sleep through the night. I'm lucky if he takes a nap when I'm watching him. Ugh!!!

Well I wouldn't say the WHOLE night...He wakes up at least once.
I generally nurse him and put him to bed by 11pm. He wakes up close to 3am on most nights...nurses, has a diaper change, and back to bed. He doesn't wake up again until 6:30 - 7:30. That's time to get up for me anyway, so I don't feel like he wakes up more than once at night. He's a precious child.
Here's a pic of baby M's tiny little feet.
We've started tummy time with him, and the day he turned 3 weeks, he really surprised us. We put him on his tummy. He lifted his head, then his body a little bit, and quickly rolled over to his side! He's really been enjoying bath time too. That's generally his time with his daddy. My hubby loves giving him a bath.

Awwwwww, precious little feetsies! Sounds like he is doing wonderfully, as of course, we expect - he's a Pet Talk baby, he's gotta be special!
Biased? Me?
