Well...Baileigh is growing up so fast! I had to start supplementing her feedings with formula this week after realizing that she wasn't getting enough from me. I was starving the poor girl! Since we've been doing that, she has been a completely different baby! I had my 6 week check-up today and I told her that I wasn't really ok with putting her on formula, but she needed to eat. I think she's going through a growth spurt because she is already chugging 4oz. per feeding...which she should be up to 3 right now. The doctor gave me a prescription for a medicine that is supposed to increase my milk production, which I'm very excited to try.
So...I go back to work next week. I can't believe 6 weeks has flown by as fast as it has. It technically won't be 6 weeks until Friday, but still. My mom is going to be coming up a few days a week to watch Baileigh. I don't exactly know what I'm planning on doing with Baileigh once I go back. My mom coming up is going to be a big help, but she won't be able to come every day. I'm just praying that God will show me the best plan for us.
Actually...I think God has already shown me His plan...Some pretty awesome things are in the works right now. I'm praying that it'll work...if that's God's plan for us! I'm very excited!
Well anyway...let me leave you with some pictures and a video or two from the past week or so. Enjoy!
Baileigh rolling over! (She actually rolled over during her one week pictures. Whether she meant to or not is a different story. She has such strong legs that she can't help but roll sometimes! I thought this was too precious!)
Tummy Time! (gotta love her little tongue!)

I love the video's!! (and pictures and everything else : ) I can't beleive she is rolling over. A future gymnast by any chance??
Sooo cute!! She is growing so much..Can't believe it's been 6 weeks!
Sooo cute! Let us know if that medicine for milk supply works...after trying to keep up for a month without feeding Allie, I may need to try it too!!!
Let me know if you're still looking for someone to keep Baleigh. I have a friend who is looking for a baby to keep and I would highly recommend her=)abbybrock03@hotmail.com
I mean Baileigh! You'd think with a daughter named Madalynn, I'd learn how to correctly spell a little girl's name the first time=)!!
You may already know this about pumping...
I'll share... I only produced milk in one breast b/c for some reason Jordan did not like that one side, lol..she took 4 oz per feeding early on too. So, I pumped and in between feedings and for feedings she missed, which boosted my milk supply. I was able to refrigerate or freeze the milk and use it. She completely weaned herself at 9 mons.
Josh took like 6 oz per feeding very early on!! He would get so frustrated that he couldn't get the milk fast enough with me, so I did a lot of pumping...and had to put him on the bottle very early. :)
Each child is so different. Hope the pills will help too! Spinach is good for boosting milks as well. I'm sure you know that though. :)
Your singing was BEAUTIFUL this morning!!! I did know that Shadowfeet Song. Once you got into the chorus, it became familiar. It is beautiful and you did a great job!
