Joshua

Baby Joshua 5 days old


Hi all! I know I have been absent this week! It's been a busy week and I'm doing rather well, but still having pain and I am tired. I have a prayer request for Joshua. He is a very lazy nurser and, subsequently, he isn't gaining weight. Yesterday (Friday) I went to see the lactation specialist and he was at his discharge weight of 7 lbs., 10 oz. A pound down (still) from birth weight. Please pray that he would wake up and nurse better. Also, that I don't lose my supply. I am pumping some and we are supplementing him after nursing, but all we can do is our best! I am trying not to be discouraged.

I will pray for you Nancy. I just had a hysterectomy through my abdomen and I can't imagine also having to care for a newborn! Bless your heart! I have more compassion for mommies who have to have c-sections. I had no idea the pain that you go through. I will pray for baby Joshua too that he will nurse well. He is so precious! Congratulations!

Don't get discouraged with the nursing...keep with it- I'll pray for you!
