new baby !

hi everyone!! since it has been a while since i posted i figured i'd say hi and give you an update... my sister had her baby Donna Elizabeth on august 30. she was sure she did not want to breastfeed despite my gentle prodding.

so formula it was until day 3....the day she was being discharged at 1pm....when she asked me if she could pump and give formula, i told her she could, went running for the nurse who grabbed the lactation consultant who brought in a pump and we taught her all about pumping in about 45 minutes. my husband ran my pump over the the hospital so she would have one to go home with.

she went home saying just pumping because it would be too wierd to latch the baby on, by the next day we latched the baby on because it would be just as weird as pumping. well my little neice latched right on four days after birth like she had been doing it all along, and now that smart little girl has decided she doesn't really love formula, and she much prefers breastmilk right from the tap thank you very much! my sister seems to have gotten over her wierdness, and is sounding like a seasoned mama, how much she has pumped, what helps all that good stuff...
I am very proud of her!!!

my sis and her husband are both walking around with stars in their eyes saying isn't she cute, isn't she beautiful? they are young(20 and 23) but after seeing them go through labor and delivery i feel like they have a chance. he was so concerned about her and the baby asking everyone in the waiting room questions about labor and delivery when he ran out to give updates.

i have been going over there to help clean, or whatever i can do, yesterday i was there while they were out doing baby paperwork for two hours cleaning, decluttering, chasing will around...
so thats the brief update and here are some pics!

ok i'll try to add pics later because blogger won't me!
