We sang "Happy Birthday" to Mr. Alex promptly at 6 p.m. to celebrate...and then he blew out the nipple on his bottle of breastmilk. (BTW - that adventure is going sort of well. He refuses to latch but I am a superpumper and am able to get almost 4 oz. every 2 hours. So, everyone wins.)

Ok, he's ADORABLE! Makes me miss my new baby (the little sucker went and turned 7 months...I SO didn't say she could do that!!)
I found your blog through someone who follows one of mine, hope that's ok. I have a few reflections over reading your posts:
-hospital food DOES rock! We loved being home, too (SO not overwhelming at all), the worst part was not being able to order food and have it delivered 30 minutes later at all hours. :)
-YOU GO for posting this much so far! I can't remember how much I posted in the early days, but you're doing great. Write down the little things, because trust me, in 7 months, you'll be grasping for them, wondering where Tiny Baby went...
-I had one single, solitary AWESOME maternity nurse who saved my entire breastfeeding endeavor. If you ever have questions or want to talk about how frustrating it can be, feel free to email me. I'm still smack dab in the middle of breastfeeding and I know a lot about it now :) (email: thepregnancychronicles@gmail.com)
-So we're not complete strangers, I'm at www.thepregnancychronicles.blogspot.com (mommy blog, private) and www.thescreamindeal.blogspot.com (there will be a plethora of baby product reviews there!)
Hope things are going well for ya...and that this post from a complete stranger isn't too weird, lol. Congrats again!

Thank you for sharing pictures! He's so cute! I love the last two the best! Congrats again!
Just found your blog.... I just 12 weeks preggo, and I am going to back to read your whole story :)
Congrats on such precious baby!
Breast feeding has its challenges, but don't put stress on yourself. I only made it 6 weeks with both my kids, but I tried. I didn't know it would be so difficult to feed my own children. You are an awesome mom! I love that you have kept up your blog. Can I just say super mom.
It took almost 4 weeks for the swelling in my feet to go down....it sucks. I feel your pain kiddo!
