Some Odd Girl Pregnancy / Childbirth Mini Album

Just wanted to share a video with you guys that I had up on my youtube channel a few weeks back. I made this mini album for a hop, but since then have filled it with pregnancy pictures and newborn pictures of my youngest son. I am going to take this mini album with me when I go back to work next week and look at it whenever I get sad and am missing my babies. Hoping to have a video up showing you guys how I added the pictures to the album sometime this week! Enjoy!!

3 Month Baby Check Up

Today we go for our 3 month baby check up, I hate these check ups because I know he is going to be getting vaccines and those always make me so nervous. I finally started supplementing with formula on Sunday and he seems to be fuller and happier, I think I was not getting enough breast milk during the day and he was hungry, so I promised my self even before I got pregnant with him that I would not stress out if I did not have enough breast milk to feed him. I would give him as much as I could and I would definitely try as hard as I could which I feel like I did. For the past week I have been pumping after every feeding, but it has not seemed to help.I wish I had more breast milk, but the reality is I just don't and I need to feed him, so formula it is. I am still breast feeding him as much as I can, and when I go back to work next week I will be pumping every 3 hours so that I can still give him breast milk when I get home. That will be a whole new adventure!! The only thing with the formula is that he seems to be spitting up more with it, we tried giving him Similac Advanced and he seemed super gassy and fussy, so we switched to Similac Organic which is what we gave my first son, he seems to be doing better with it, but still spitting up, so I am going to ask the doctor about it today. I think after he is done with the Similac Organic I am going to try Earths Best Formula, a few of my friends mentioned that it was better then the Similac.

The last few days, I really haven't been doing much scrapbooking, because I have been working from home. This weekend I plan on finishing a Halloween Mini Album that I have been working on for the past week or so. I also need to finish my older son's birthday invitations. Anyway, hoping to have some good updates after the doctors office, have an awesome Tuesday everyone!!

Soaking Up My Babies Cooing!!

I can't pretend that I am totally calm about going back to work, I am so going to miss sending my older son off to camp or school, seeing my husband off to work, and then going back and enjoying my me time with my newborn. I love our mornings, I eat breakfast, then I pump some breast milk if I hadn't already, and then me and my little guy play, he is so smiley and loves to talk. I am going to miss our little conversations (he loves saying Agoo, and awoo), I am going to miss breastfeeding him during the day, us just laying down and looking at each other, and us both being memorized by the other. Me scrapbooking while he is sleeping, there are times when I just sit and stare at him while he is sleeping, just soaking it all up and taking in the moment, I feel so blessed and honored to be his mommy. He follows my every move, trying to figure things out, I can't really understand why, but this time going back to work is so much harder then last time, yes I cried last time also, but I was excited to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I do love my job and I work for some of the most amazing people on the planet, and who I really consider a friend, but I am torn and feel like I still need more time with my little guy. 3 months is definitely not enough time for maternity leave. I don't know if it is the fact that I am older now, and realize how important and precious time is, and the reality is that they really do grow up so fast. Anyway, I will quit my ramblings and sobs about my baby for now LOL.

So, I am working on a special scrappy give away for my youtube channel reaching 500 subbies, hoping I can get that video out sometime next week, so excited for the give away. I will keep everyone posted. Have an awesome weekend everyone!
