Sophia Elizabeth born 2/2/09
Hi! Finally getting some breathing space to update on here! Sophia was born via c-section at 8:27am. She was 8lbs 8oz (thank goodness, not 10lbs as predicted!) and 20 inches. The surgery went well and I am feeling so much better this past week. Breast feeding did not work out for me, despite the many lacation consultations I had in the hospital and at home. I (we) gave it our best shot. Right now Im pumping and giving her my breast milk that way. Im not sure how much longer I will keep that up...just taking it one feeding at a time!
Having my daughter be born on my birthday was truely more than I ever expected! Its funny, when I go to fill out paper work for her and I have to enter her birth date, I catch myself putting in the year I was born instead of 2009 for her! LOL
I hope everyone and thier little ones are doing well. :)

Thanks ladies!
Helen: It is frustrusting pumping and bottle feeding. What I like the least is the 2am feeding and then having to pump afterwards. It doesn't take as long as it used to but still, another 15 mins added on to a feed feels like an hour! I hope we can both hang in there for as long as we think its ok to. I cried (and cried and cried) that I couldn't breastfeed her but I feel better about it now, knowing I gave it what I could. I hope things work out the best way for you and your baby! The best advice a nurse in the hosptial gave me was just to take it one feeding at time. :)

Awww, congratulations! I am glad all is well & how special that you share a birthday!!
I am so glad you and your daughter are doing well.
Sorry about breastfeeding. I am still pumping and bottle feeding my girl so I can relate to your frustration.

I was anxiously awaiting an update, but knew that you'd have your hands full! I'm glad that you and your little angel are doing so well!
Corbin was born Jan. 17th 2009 and I was born June 17th 1985 and I catch myself starting to put either my birthdate or I put 1985 at the end of his!
