Well the last two weeks have been somewhat eventful. I was just getting over being sick with mastitis, when Madison, Zachary and myself all got head colds. I however lovingly passed it on to Brynley. It's just a yucky nose right now and a little cough. Let's hope it doesn't turn into something else.
*********
Both Travis and I noticed that Brynley was looking a little thin. Weird to say I know but something didn't look right. She was extremely fussy, and wouldn't let us put her down. I thought it was something that I had eaten and it made her belly hurt. Or maybe that Dr. Pepper I drank didn't agree with her. We stared crossing things off the list, and we still couldn't figure it out.
So this is what we did for 2 weeks! I wore Brynley in the front carrier! I did dishes, made dinner and folded laundry all while she just hung out!
Well come to find out, we or rather I was starving her. She lost almost a whole pound over those two weeks! She was just flat out hungry! I was nursing her every 3 hours and I thought she was getting enough.
So we headed to the doctors office and she was down to 7lb 10oz from 8lb 8oz! So the doctor suggested we supplement. I had a freezer full of milk, so now after she nurses she eats a 2-3 oz bottle! She is now full and content and happy!
Doesn't she look happy and content?!?!
Right before we headed out the door to Church!
Well I guess that is all for now! Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day!!!

I did the same thing with Phoebe. I got mastitus and could only nurse out of one side and little did I know I wasn't even getting hardly anything from there so for 2+ weeks Phoebe was starving didn't reach above 8 lbs for her first month.
So glad she is getting full and happy now! I hope you all are starting to feel better :)
