Wordless Wednesday

Finally!

It has been a long time but we finally were able to get the kids baptized. I think with two kids it is easier to do it when they are a little older and on a schedule. I feel happy now that this is done.

As for the house and moving...ugh!  We think we will finally be able to move in labor day weekend.

This is what I am reading on a Saturday night

Subinvolution of the placental site

I know it isn't exciting but I was reading one of my favorite blogs over at Moosh in Indy and it led me back to my issues with breastfeeding and all of the unwelcome and unwarranted comments. I still feel that until you are walking in someone else's shoes be quiet. No one else can really know what it is like to try and breastfeed when that is ALL you want to do and to fail, miserably.  I will always know that I tried for 6 weeks so hard but making 3-4 ounces a day wasn't enough for even one feeding.

Hence, back to the first article. This is the reason I couldn't breastfeed and there is finally some research on the topic! There was none back in October. At least now I feel that I have an understanding of why I couldn't breastfeed.  I will admit I still feel a twinge of jealousy when I see a mom Bf'ing.

1 year checkup

The kids had their 1 year shots and check up here are the stats
Sara
Head 46.4 cm (84%)
18.13 lbs (14%)
29 inches (45%)

Danyal
Head 44.7 cm (9%)
19.12 lbs (9%)
29 1/2 inches ( 39%)

I cannot believe neither of my babies are 20lbs yet! Sara eats a lot and she is still tiny! Oh how quickly they grow.

Need mom help!

My daughter now wants to eat all finger foods, she is done with that stuff called baby food. I am short on ideas. I am calling out for all mom help. We do a lot of avocado, carrot, apple, peaches, pears, turkey sticks, pasta, oatmeal, and puffs. I will be adding in cheese, yogurt, and milk slowly being that they have not had milk in a year.
