Little Miss is 3 weeks old!

Valerie is 3 weeks old today. Man, has time flown by! She is getting so big on me. lol. I'm attaching a picture of her, taken yesterday. She had to sleep on her belly, on me, all day yesterday. She's been really gassy lately. Tummy time seems to help her out, so we let her lay on her belly on us as much as she wants.
And Brandt did the cutest thing today! I so wish I had been able to get in on camera. I was holding V and he was snuggly with us. He reached over and gave her a hug and a kiss, and he had the biggest grin on his face. Afterwards, he said "I love you" and kissed her again! Too stinkin cute!
I am starting to get nervous about Valerie's surgery Thursday. I know it's a simple procedure, but it's surgery. And I will be at the hospital with her by myself. My husband is staying home to get Ty on the bus and watch Brandt, as they said not to bring any other children. Oi!
I have also gotten a blister on my nipple from my pump. Talk about ouch! I had to use the smaller shields for one pump session this morning, as I hadn't been able to wash my bigger ones. Big mistake. I really need to go buy another set of the bigger ones, so I always have a clean set. I'm still not getting much when I pump, but I'm being stubborn and can't figure out if I just want to give up or keep going. So I'm still trying. I'm thinking about asking my doctor about trying the medication to see if it helps. I figure I can give it a try for a month, and if it works, then awesome. If not, no biggie. Can't hurt, right? The only thing I am worried about is that Reglan can cause depression and we're not sure if the risk of worsening my depression is worth it. I guess it's something to talk to my doctor about. =/

 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Dec. 8, 2015 7:45pm Sending happy thoughts for her surgery...I'm sure she'll do great! Pumping is so stupid. I can't even get 10ml although I also can't pump every 3 hours. I want to give up but don't because formula is crazy expensive, especially for 2. C'est la vie! |
 | Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Dec. 8, 2015 7:27pm She's so cute! So glad she's doing well and your boys love her. Good luck with the pumping. I have a feeling I'm going to be real impatient with the whole pumping thing. |

 | Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Dec. 8, 2015 3:34pm Awww she's so cute. I love that little onsie! I'll send prayers your way for her surgery. I'm sure everything will be fine, but I don't blame you for being nervous. Good luck! |
| Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Dec. 8, 2015 3:10pm Yes, I have tried them. They worked initially, but I haven't been able to make any yet. A friend of mine made me a couple of batches and brought them to me. |
 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Dec. 8, 2015 3:06pm Have you tried lactation cookies? I never have but it seems to be a big thing these days. I wish I had been able to try them when I inexplicably dried up with my first pregnancy. |
