The last two days have been scary and very emotional for us all. I have tried to focus my energy on getting much needed nutrients for the baby. I have been pumping around the clock, every two hours and finally today, two precious drops of colostrum....enough for Baby Doug's first feeding! My milk supply is slowly starting to come in, so hopefully tonight I will be able to get a few hours of sleep. We spent the afternoon at the hospital, and he is still stable, and will hopefully get the breathing tube out tomorrow. That tube will be replaced with a much smaller tube that will be in his nostrils....he'll be breathing mostly on his own. The doctors and nurses have been amazing and keep telling us we are in for a rocky road...lots of ups and downs. He is very active and strong...looks just like Mike. This first week is very critical, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

take that fenugreek stuff--worked wonders to get AG goin' when she wasn't making enough. hearts and prayers are with all ya'll. xoxo-tom
T's right - Fenugreek pills totally kick started my supply from so-so to so-much-milk...pick it up at a healthfood store, take 3 pills 3 times a day. It's a natural way to stimulate production. Bonus: it makes your sweat smell like maple syrup, which I bet is good for grossing out the girls.
