Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-law I now have a cute blog :). It takes awhile to get used to a new site, but I have a feeling blogging is going to be my new escape from reality!
I switched Trenton over to formula almost a week ago and the difference is amazing. He not only naps better but seems to sleep better as well. It was a difficult choice for me to make, because nursing was so important to me. Making the right decision for him was critical and I was worried that formula was anything but that. I couldn't have been more wrong, and I am now happy with the choice I have made. It seems he is more satisfied, but I am still a little heart-broken that I couldn't be enough for him. At least we got those first 3 months of bonding, 3 months that I am very thankful to have had. Even pumping couldn't help my supply, turning it up on a really high setting would only hurt me and still only pump out maybe 2 ounces in 20-30 minutes. How can I feed my son the 4-6 ounces he needs when I can't even pump out a measly 2. Some part of me feels like a failed him, but I know that I did my best and tried hard for those first few months. He is a strong and very healthy 3 month old so that's all that should matter!
Trevor will be coming home in about a week and I couldn't be more thrilled for this reunion. We haven't seen him since Trenton was a month old! Losing a parent at a young age makes knowing what you want out of life a whole lot easier! Our family is my life, and I love that!
