Thanks for all the input-- on two topics!

[Guest guest]

Thank you everyone for the advice on my and his " issue " with not

having a BM since last Tuesday evening! He actually did finally have

one this morning (Monday) and it was a blow out! Haha You should have

seen how happy he was though. what a riot.

FYI: some of you asked if he was bottle or breastfed and I am

breastfeeding. It is going great; he just thriving! I bought a Medela

breast pump and have been pumping each day so that I have milk on

reserve for those trips to the mall, grocery shopping, etc. where I

don't feel comfortable feeding him at the breast. I especially like the

idea of daddy being able to feed him, too!

Some time back I also posted about how long to wait before having sex

after birth and I haven't had a chance to even respond to people

personally in thanks for their responses so this is a group thanks to

all who gave me their personal experiences and/or input. It is amazing

how fast the days go by, I don't much time to do all the things I

wanted-I just wish my work days went by this fast!!

Have a great week everyone!
