And just for kicks, here's a picture of Holden from Tuesday...He begged me to watch "Mickey Christmas" during dinner, so I gave in, but here's what happened not 10 minutes into it...
"See, Holden, that's why you still need naps." :)

happy and sad?
Since last night I've been giving Fount my dairy-free breastmilk that I froze, sure to never use, back in November. He's downed 3 bottles so far and not a sign of uncomfortability. Makes me happy, but kind of sad too...Sad that I didn't pump much at the end, so I don't have much milk stored, and sad that he's taking it well. Is that silly to be sad about? Your baby feeling well? :) I'm sick, I know. I really had no intention of ever giving him the milk I had so long ago stored, but when my shipment of Alimentum didn't arrive yesterday when expected, I decided to just try it instead of spending upwards of $25 on a can at the grocery store (we get a really great deal from MZ Med). Even though I know that I made the best decision for Fount at the time, (he really was miserable) it still makes me wish I had've tried harder to stick with it...At the time, I felt like I did, but maybe that's a guilt I'll always feel. Nursing Holden for a year and Fount for 3 1/2 weeks. I sound like a broken record, don't I? Suffice to say, the little guy is doing super. Here he is chowing down on rice cereal for the first time on Monday. He loves it!

I'm so sorry that you are sad about all of that. Nothing like a mother's guilt. But, you totally did what was best for Fount and look at how healthy and happy he is! He is beautiful, perfect, happy and WELL FED! :)
That is so funny about Holden. Gavin has done that a couple times and it cracks me up. Nothing like a little boy who doesn't think he needs a nap, then he falls asleep right around supper time!
Ahhh, yes, the Mommy guilt. Always ready to rear it's ugly head and crush you. Don't give in! Fount was miserable...you certainly did the best you could! And whose to say that the time drinking the special formula helped ease his little newborn stomach so he can successfully eat more regular food now? Who knows? Thank goodness God does!
