Finally - Miranda Charlotte
Well, the little monster is out of me! She is tiny, and way more laid back than I expected. She doesn't even really cry. After what was a great start to breast feeding she developed some latching issues and I've decided to just pump instead. It was too painful to try and figure things out. She can't even use a nipple shield, and the whole thing became very stressful. With three other kids to deal with, it's just too much and I already know how to make pumping work. It's sort of a bummer, but I also feel like it gives me a little more freedom. Sure, I'm stuck with a pumping schedule, but I also don't have to be the only one feeding Miranda. Forrest is happy because he likes the bonding that comes with feeding a baby. We're just a bottle family, and I'm ok with that. Miranda isn't digging the bottle quite yet, but she's working on it.
