So I bet everyone is wondering how breastfeeding is going? The answer is better Amélie now is latching on great and a little faster. My milk supply was/is pretty low and so last week I thought I was going to have to bottle feed her. Well I did a lot of research and found out that there are drugs for people like me. yay! I was able to get this drug called Domperidone it works so well mothers that adopted babies can breast feed them. I was lucky to have a midwife that was familiar with it and felt comfortable prescribing it. I was lucky again to find a pharmacy in Sandy that makes it. It's not that common yet in the States. It takes about 3 to 6 weeks for it to have full effect but it seems to be working so far.
Robert is going to kill me for bloging about this but... This Sunday we went to church and I had an overwhelming sense of peace and I know that Heavenly Father would help me through this. After Church I told Robert and He said " Of course he will because he loves you even more than I do". Oh and this is the really embarrassing part he got a little teary eyed. I was already emotional and tearing/trying not to sob. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband to raise our daughter with.
