I haven't updated in a few weeks. Its been busy, dh went back to work, baby is still up every 2-3hrs a night to feed. I'm bf him maybe 4times in 24hrs right now due to supply issues, I bought a pump this week but only used it a few times-it was tiring and didn't seem to be helping anyhow.

Aug 29th-my first day of class for MEd!! I didn't pump or come home to bf and it wasn't too bad. My supply is quite low now and I don't have to bf during the night now. Left bb is producing very min amts and not too uncomfortable.
Aug 30th-228lbs!
Sept 1st-5w3d-Joey is trying to smile! He makes consistent eye contact now and tries to engage with his little mouth movements and attempts to smile! He's bottling every 2-3hrs by day and night, and will usually bf then drink 2 ounces, or drink approx 3 ounces without bf. I bought a pump this week but its a cheapo, ineffective and I'm discouraged. After buying the pump I felt I tried my best to up my supply and I'm now ready to just ff. I'm still bf every 6 hrs or so, rarely from the left side. I noticed a hormone shift yesterday, so I suspect af will show in two weeks. I'm okay with it. I've got alot going on right now, my supply is shot, and I'm sore and tired. I'm okay with this being my last bf experience with any baby. I'll keep going at this bf schedule until I dry out. I'm good with it now that I know I've tried all the LC's recommendations.
My mood had been really good the past seven days. I'm going to bed earlier at around 10pm, and I'm waking dh for one feed during the night, at least. My days are full since he's back at work, but manageable.
Joseph had his hip ultrasound today, we'll get results when we get out pp check on the 19th, I had to reschedule it from 6-8wks. We're not having any issues, so I'm happy with that. I'm hoping to get baby weighed tomorrow.
