New Baby Update

We made it through the night. Nursing is taking place but with Mother not being too happy. She received several more round of Herbs for her milk, Baby did get another 2 ounces of formula at 2 am and I got a whole three hours of sleep!!! WOW three whole hours.......

Now I am not complaining - just saying. I would go without sleep for days if I can bring someone through a problem. I know I am a bit rummy because I started to make breakfast and got side tracked putting away the holiday decorations and forgot I had started my tiny cast iron skillet with butter for the eggs and came back up from the basement to a house full of smoke. Just as I stepped foot in the kitchen to open the back door the smoke alarm went off - GREAT Way to Wake Up..... At least I know it works...

Guess there will be no brain surgery for me today. No sharp objects, pointy things or complicated calculations for this gal..

So with a list a mile long today to get done I will be setting the timer and checking in the barn to make sure we are starting to get on better footing with the little one. She is so loving and kind. Hopefully the goat girls will get some rest today. They kept watch over the little one with all the concern us mothers do.

Please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming - I know it is helping.. Many Thanks.

I'm glad to hear things are improving a bit. Sorry you are so tired with so much to do for tomorrow. I am continuing to send light and prayers for the little one and for you. Just remember to be kind to yourself as you do your work today.

I am sending the good vibes your way. Hopefully Mama gets it together. Is this her first baby? You are so in tune with the universe that you bought that formula with out even knowing you would need it. You are good :)

Sometimes I'm a grumpy, "wow, a whole 3 hours of sleep," nursing mama, too ;-) Hope the llama mama keeps catching on.
