- Of course, I'm SO thankful for my husband and beautiful daughter, and our little family. I love 'us', and couldn't ask for anything better.
- I'm also so thankful that Isabella knows when to give mommy and daddy a little break. Like, even though she was crying/fussy all day yesterday, and barely napped, she slept for over 7 hours straight last night!! Pure heaven.
- I'm thankful that breastfeeding has been going SO well for both B and me. *knock on wood* Even though it was so tough at first, and hurt like hell, it's been getting better and better every day, and it's actually starting to hurt a lot less now. Yay!
- Speaking of breastfeeding...I'm so thankful that pumping has also been going well! I just started yesterday, so I'm no pro or anything yet, but, I was able to get 3-4 oz. out of both sessions that I did! I'm pretty excited about that. And, I can't wait to be able to build up a good stash so I can send Bella to daycare with breastmilk instead of formula...and now Daddy can start to feed B, as well. :-)
- I'm thankful that all of our animals have been doing so great since Isabella came home. They've been pretty calm about everything, and only really get whiny and antsy (the dogs, at least. Fozzie Bear could care less that she's there) when she's crying a lot. But, it's more of a 'why-is-she-crying-please-make-her-feel-better' whine, rather than being upset/mad that she's crying. They want her to be happy. :-)
Only one more day until Friday, and that means lots of Daddy/family time! Yay!!
Oh, and of course, I can't do a post without a picture or two of my little cutie...
Dressed up pretty for Daddy's birthday
Such a good girl, just hanging out in her swing

Oh my gosh, she's just as cute as they come. Seriously that first picture of her in the red. ADORABLE!
I'm so so glad all is going great and that she slept so well last night :) YAY!!! It is amazing what a good nights rest can do for a tired mama.
Glad everything is going well! I'm kind of afraid of breast feeding because I know it's going to hurt A LOT, but it will be worth it!
7 hours straight?!!? That is awesome. Livi is 14 weeks and has never done that!! Jealous...
ALSO jealous of your 3-4 oz. pump sessions....I was never able to do that either :(
good for you!!
