At Play

This is the Abram puppet show...he didn't move much but it was funny! The first of many piggyback rides!

He loves his caterpillar!

We have been able to enjoy more play time with Abram as he gets older. It's hard to believe he is 3 months old already! What a cutie!

Friends!

Abram met some new friends and I was able to reconnect with some old Capella friends when we all got together last Thursday. It was great to be able to talk with other moms who are going through the joys and trials of new babies! I am looking forward to seeing them again soon!!

Trust Your Intuition

We have spent the last few days in a quite an uproar and learned this-trust your intuition.
Baby started daycare last week (he goes Monday's, Friday's, and every other Wednesday). On Monday I called to check on him and the daycare person I spoke to told me he was hungry and I didn't provide enough milk so she fed him WATER. I hung up the phone and after crying and composing myself I canceled the rest of my day and went to pick up Abram. The daycare people told me that I am not feeding him enough and he should be getting 6oz every TWO hours. So, I spent that evening and the next day talking with a La Leche leader, a lactation consultant, an RN at the clinic, and Abram's pediatrician. What I found out was that Abram is growing fine and has actually moved up to the next weight bracket (25%)! The daycare people just need to learn more about what soothes Abram besides milk. Abram returned to daycare for a half day today along with a doctors note about his proper milk consumption. He had a good day.

I want to be angry at the daycare but really they were just looking out for Abram and they really thought that he needed more food. We are adjusting his eating a little because I am still feeding him about 10 times a day and the doctor says that he is ready to move up in oz per feeding and eat less times per day. I also started taking Fenugreek to ensure that my milk production is where it needs to be. There are times when I am stressed about how I am going to pump out enough milk for Abram to have at daycare. There are also times when I feed Abram that he is crying and fussy when done. So, hopefully we have solved all the issues and won't have any more drama in the next few days!

Does it count?

Abram just rolled over from tummy to back! It was pretty much an accident due to his activity center being on the bed...he pushed up with his left hand and because of the softness of the bed flopped right over onto his back! I know it doesn't really count but I am still pretty excited :)
