In the milk department..
Last week my milk supply seemed to take a huge dive. This totally blindsided me because I’ve always had a bit of an oversupply problem and protecting against supply issues when on the Total Elimination Diet (TED) didn’t occur to me. Well, it should have!
Because the elimination diet is so low in [...]

So this week has been episode three of the “return of the reflux”.. you would think that by now I would have recognized the signs: the random crying, the sleep disturbances, constant hiccups, the extreme fussiness at the breast (pulls off, arches and even cries while eating!) etc.

I am operating on my second [...]

Bath time!
Dear Jasper,
You are 12 weeks old today and I can’t believe how fast time is flying by..
After weeks of practicing you are finally able to get your hands into your mouth, though sometimes it’s by way of your far head first!

We have officially crossed over to the dark side.. well, actually the more colorful side and given in to the the world of fisher price and plastic primary colors, lights and sounds when we purchased an exersaucer at a consignment sale this weekend.

For the first time..
I start work again full time on Monday, today I left him at daycare for a few hours for a trial run.. I miss my little monkey :(
I wonder if he misses me? I’m not even convinced he knows who I am yet, I guess that’s better than leaving him when he’s [...]
