Feelin' Great!

So much I want to say, but I will have to break it up into a couple of posts! I must share that last night Harrison slept in two increments of 5 hours!! I know right!! I feel awesome today! He ate at 10, went down about 11 and didn't wake up until 5! Then he ate, went back down and didn't wake up until about 9:45 this morning. I can handle this. You think it will happen again?? Me either...lol.

My sister finally sent me her breast pump last week.... It's not working well for me, the pumping that is. I'm not sure if it's the pump or me, or both, but it took 5 pumps to get 4 ounces! AGH! I was only able to get 1/2-1 ounce per breast per session. Is this normal? I have a call into Staci(got your message this morning, going to call you back soon). I can't figure out when to pump since he's exclusively breast fed. If I pump after he eats, I get nothing. if I pump before he eats he'll get nothing. Advice will be happily accepted and appreciated! Jason's company Christmas party is Friday. I need to have at least 1 bottle for Grammie to give him.

Harrison had his 1 month check up last week. He was 9lb 4oz! Woowzeers! He wasn't even back up to his birth weight at 2 weeks(7lb 10.5 oz). Apparently he's eating well. The pictures I had done last week he wore his coming home outfit and it was almost to small...I don't think I'm ready for him to be outgrowing clothes yet!!
Speaking of clothes..check him out in his Staci Sleeper!!
It has orange, yellow, green, and blue polka dots. Too cute!
I need to get better pics, but he was sleepy after his bath!


Even though Harrison looks terrified this is the best pic of all 3 kiddos so far


He's still not hot on the bouncy seat...
But at least he's awake!

Yesterday we made peanut butter balls
Messy Hands!

The dipping part sucked!
But they taste SO yummy!

I have been a baking fool lately. Making all sorts of snacks for the kiddos. Today is puppy chow, yum, yum!!

I'm so glad things are going well. As for the pumping try to squeeze in a session about an hour or so after he eats. If he's feeding every three hours or so, you should have enough to replenish by then. Or late at night after he's gone to bed, and you know he won't be up again for a while. I wish I had more time and energy to bake!
