This week has been a tough one. Just when I thought we (peter and I) were getting the hang of nursing, he loses 2 oz and has only 1 dirty diaper in 36 hours. I also found out on Tuesday that he has reflux (the way I found out was scary, he actually stopped breathing for 3-5 seconds a few times and was in a lot of pain because of the burning. After calling the doctor and having an appt., the conclusion was reflux). So between these two factors the nursing has not been going well and now my milk supply is diminishing. It's going to take a lot of work to try and get the supply back up and I'm not sure how I feel about working at something so hard and not knowing if it'll actually work. So, we'll work at it until I feel it's not worth it any longer and then we'll figure things out from there.
I waited to write about this because I have been very pessimistic about things, but today, the optimism has kicked in. I'm sure later today though will be tough again as I become more tired and probably frustrated again at the situation.

I just left you a voicemail. I'm sure you're busy with Peter, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and hope you have a good weekend.
