I'll make this one quick and to the point.
Here are my prayer requests...
1. My health! Healing from Surgery and the cold that I caught this weekend..it just feels like an uphill battle.
2. Sleep...Brian, Christina and Brody. Nights are good but every 3-4 hrs intervals of feeds is tough for recovery and sanity :) Welcome to parenthood...i know.
3. Milk production (TMI?-stop reading if so)...not happening. Wisdom of when to call it good. Everyone has an opinion and I need wisdom on what to do. What God continues to teach me over and over again during the last month is that I need to give up my expectations..is breast feeding one of those?! Please pray for wisdom and peace with a decision on this.
4. Brody is good...continued good health.
5. Adjustment next week...Brian goes back to work and that I don't end up crying all day with Brody..kinda funny but not really :)
I write these because I know you guys do pray for us and THANK YOU - THANK YOU -THANK YOU!!!

Dear Christina,
I will be praying for you. It takes some women time to produce milk with the first baby (personal experience...TMI?) but Brody is your baby and whatever you decide to do is between you and Brian!

I obviously have no experience breast feeding, but I had a friend who went through the very same struggle.
Everyone's bodies are different and you just have to do what is right for you and your little guy!
I will be praying for you guys!

I'm praying for you, dear girl! There are some wonderful lactation consultants around, and good information online to help you with breastfeeding. The La Leche League's website is very helpful, and lists local support groups. And don't feel guilty about whatever you decide. As Barbara said, it's between you and Brian - and our loving God, whose tender care for you and your sweet little family will never fail! Love you!
I hope you are starting to feel better... sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Hope the BBQ was fun. Call when you can. U love you!
Christina-
Feel free to email me privately in regards to breast feeding. Kyle and I received so much help because of Bronson being premature. One piece of help with milk production was to take Fenugreek. You can buy it at Safeway and it is ALL natural and helps your milk production BIGTIME. Hope this helps...I will be praying for you. Life as a mommy is hard work.
