I apologize in advance if this post makes your uterus ache for a baby. You have been warned. ;)
Now that we have our newborn pictures back, I'm so excited to show you the birth announcements that I designed for Reid and {my niece and Reid's birthday twin} Aubrey!
Let me know what you think... =)
All announcement photos were taken by Stephanie Glover Photography
And Aubrey's...
In other news, Reid? He's ONE MONTH OLD! How is that even possible!?! Here's a picture of my little pumpkin in his 1 month tie ;)
Overall, things are going so well. He's a sweet baby and he's a good sleeper, for the most part {however, we've had a few rough nights, as expected.} Most of our issues stem from breastfeeding, but we both seem to be doing better with it and I'm hoping to make it to my first goal of 6 weeks {1.5 weeks to go!} and that we'll finally be on the other side of this hill. {Please tell me it gets better at 6 weeks. Pretty please?} My next goal will be 12 weeks and then we'll take it from there. Hopefully I can make it 6 months, but we'll see. Baby steps.
In other news, Reid was just diagnosed with reflux {Carter had it too, but we dodged a bullet with Brynn!} and I'm hoping his new meds will help with feedings as well. Poor baby screams in pain after nursing, even after a change in my diet and some other things we've done to try to avoid medication. I'm hoping the Zantac helps!
He's really starting to be awake more and I love it! He's talking and starting to smile when we talk to him. Carter and Brynn just adore him and are such good little helpers! Carter is already asking for another baby... a girl. I told him we could always just steal Aubrey. He was perfectly fine with that. Sorry Aunt Kacy!
They are both adorable!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! You did an awesome job!

ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! It definitely gets better after 6 weeks! Stick with it mama! Trust your body and your baby. I remember with brynn you had said you were not a breast feeding mama....what changed your mind this go 'round? It's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo so cute!! Complete adorableness! :D
ReplyDeleteThose announcements are too perfect! I love them!
ReplyDeleteoh deliciousness!! and yes, my uterus was totally crying!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the announcements! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful announcements. Hope everything goes well with the Zantac. My coworker dealt with the same issue with his daughter at the same age. He said the meds did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteKeep going with the breast feeding. It will get easier and easier until eventually you will realise that giving up will just make life harder again. Bottle feeding can be such a pain.... you need so much stuff whereas now... well all you need is you!!!!

Congratulations! Great job with breastfeeding. And yes, it absolutely gets easier! It's so nice not to have to worry with bottles and to always have milk available for your baby. I think the first 6 weeks are the most challenging so once you hit that it should be more manageable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!!!! & Oh yes- baby fever for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love them both!! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everyone is doing well! Adorable little man you have!!
Stop the cute.
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are both adorable!! Love the announcements, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! As for breastfeeding I think it should get easier at the 6 week mark. You're doing great mama. I am so impressed by your willingness to try it this time!
ReplyDeleteaww, he is a little doll! :) such cute pics. i love how bendy they are. hehe
ReplyDeletehappy wednesday! thanks for hosting.
Adorable announcements! Adorable babies!
ReplyDeleteThe breastfeeding turnaround for me has always been 8 weeks. Good luck!
They are both so adorable.
ReplyDeleteAs for nursing, I had a TOUGH time and fought through it in the beginning (threatening to quit every day). At 6 weeks, it was like the easiest thing ever and we continued until I wasn't pumping enough at 7 months. It gets so so so much better. Stick with it.
Love them both, Stephanie did a wonderful job with the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThey're such beautiful babies! On another note, they were born on my daughter's (3rd) birthday. Great day.
ReplyDeleteSix weeks was a breastfeeding turning point for me. Up to that point, I was miserable and in tons of pain. At six weeks (almost exactly), the cuts and cracks finally healed and it got easier. Hang in there.
So cute! Aubrey shares a birthday (different year) with my son. :) Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute :-) we are expecting our third in 6 weeks and cant wait to meet our baby. Ive started to follow you will be nice seeing your posts
