This post might be a little "to much information" but I just need to vent about pumping. Since I am going back to work at the end of April I figured that I would start pumping after one or two feedings a day to start and build my supply. I have to say that the amount of time it takes to pump after Bridge is done feeding is 25-35 minutes and I only end up with one to two ounces. I am frustrated because today we tried to see if Bridge would take a bottle from daddy. I went and took a bath and Ben went to the living room so that he could feed him. They (the books) say that the mother should not introduce the bottle in case the baby gets nipple confusion. Sure enough I tell Ben to try and give the bottle to Bridge and if Bridger doesn't want it or gets frustrated don't force it. Well it wasn't even 5 minutes later and Ben and Bridger come into the bathroom with the biggest smile on his face. Bridger not only took the bottle but took it fast. He was a proud daddy!!! And I am relieved that Bridger will take a bottle. But .... when it takes so long to pump and I only get a small amount I wounder if I will ever get any more in that amount of time. I hope so!
Back to the week of Bridger. On Wednesday Bridger and I went to the grand opening of Rosasaur's and met up with Olivia and Meghann. WOW!! What an awesome grocery store. We went back today to do the major shopping for the week and I swear I could spend all day in that place. On Thursday Bridger seemed to have major gas issues and all day I did bicycles with him and sure enough he would pass a ton of gas. Poor guy. We didn't get much sleep that night. Yesterday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Parsons for our Friday Fish Fry! It has become part of a weekly treat ever since Bridger has been born. We love fish and Bridger loves his grandparents. Not much else has happened, we are going to try and attend church tomorrow depending on how the night goes. Wish us luck!
Here are some pictures from the week. Enjoy!
