The husband has decreed that pacis are gone as of today. He told Kylie before I got up this morning. I agree that the time is here, but why did he decide this when he’s leaving for a work trip this afternoon. I feel like I have to go through with it since he told her. So alone with a newborn and a two year old who has been fighting naps anyway. Luckily she only gets them at naptime and...

Congenital Hypothyroidism. Because I'd like to say...
Once we got Emma home from NICU a week after she was born, we had a weekend of bliss where we believed all of her health problems were behind her. Then on Monday Jason brought Kylie to the pediatrician after some suspect symptoms that could have been an ear infection manifested over the weekend. Kylie was fine.

Need advice from you breastfeeding mamas
Here’s the deal: While Emma was on an IV, I was pumping and storing milk. Now that she’s eating, she doesn’t empty one breast before getting full. By the next feeding the other feels engorged and the one she ate from before is really full. It takes long enough to get her to eat; she’s still getting the hang of it. I really don’t want to have to pump after I feed her...
