Today was our seventh, yes you read right, seventh appointment with the lactation specialist in Jonesboro. John drove us and we took Julia to the Sushi bar for lunch. Her favorites are the Spicy Tuna rolls.....ha. I will spare you the breastfeeding appointment details, but breastfeeding has been no picnic! Wish I could say it has been the most natural thing and has gone wonderfully. The consultant told me today that I could continue to breastfeed for comfort (I think she meant for my sanity), but that I would never be able to do it exclusively. That means without a bottle to supplement afterwards. I can honestly say that I have given it my best shot, and we will go from here. I am sure Julia won't be terribly scarred because of it!
My parents visited tonight and I got to take a REALLY long shower. It is amazing how I would have never before considered a shower a luxury! Not nearly as luxurious as the little angel that I get to hold when I get out! Five weeks ago today, this baby girl entered the world and my life has never been better.

Your mother and father have changed because of Julia. What a miricle she has been. Our family is crazy more now with her here. I think about her and tears come almost every day. The Bald One
oogie, boogie, woogie is what I'd say to Julia. I think her little feet are cute.
