My princess had her checkup This weekend and the doctor says she is growing very well. She is in the 95th percentile for her weight and 75th for her height. I'm very glad that mommy's milk IS proving to be the best food for her. Like all breastfeeding mommies I always worry that my LO is not getting everything she needs, but I'm glad every test the doctor did came back normal and she is getting all her nutrients.
Speaking of nutrients....As some may know, when you're breastfeeding you have to take a multi-vitamin to ensure that you the mom stays healthy, because your body takes all the good stuff from your bones & body for the milk. Well since I hate taking the prenatal vitamin, I've been looking around for something better and I think I have found something cool. Gummy vitamins for adults! I know they may have been out for some time now....but whatever...I just found them and am very excited! I love gummies and I hope they taste as good as the kiddie ones.
Update on the milk making-----
So, I'm still making more milk than Hana can drink and I don't wish to pump and store anymore, because there is just no more room for the milk, so I have decided to try to augment my milk production by simply drinking sage tea. I was told that it will help decrease the supply.

Milkin' Movies
I never thought seeing a movie with an infant could be so cool! I brought my little one with me to the movies today ......to see a zombie movie(zombie land) of all things..lol. She was the most well behaved baby ever. She didn't cry at all and seem strangely enough, interested throughout the entire film! The sight was soo cute, her head was up and her eyes were open every second of the film. I think she is going to grow up and love hack and slash films, no "chick flicks" for my angel LOL! Just like mommy!
Breastfeeding in the theater was a cinch. Mostly because it was dark and kinda empty. Even if it was full, I think I would have not cared.

Bigger Family things
This morning I received great news......I'll explain.
A few weeks ago I went to try to trade in my current 4door sedan for a suv crossover since with the new baby, there is no room for anything or anyone else in my car. I was told that because of my current at home status I would need a co-signer...BOOOOO! But I was rescued by a good friend of mine who Is going to co-sign for me because he knows that i really need the car and space for the kids. Anyway......The dealership called and told me that Honda financial is willing to finance us so it's almost a done deal!! I AM SOO VERY EXCITED, you see this car has all the connections I'll need to bring my electric breast pump on the road and more!! I guess I'll have to write via my pda about bf on the road =^_^=, I will post pictures of the car hopefully by the end of the week.
