Nursing Adam at the hotel.

Oldest daughter on her computer, middle daughters watching tv, baby son nursing. At the hotel where we spent our last nights before the move.

My 4-year old daughter absently rubbing baby brother's head while he nurses.

Big boobie hug.

Adam usually holds onto my shirt or my finger when he's nursing. He is so sweet.

Breastmilk is more important than ever for us now.

After we moved Adam saw a new pediatric cardiologist, she said the hole in his heart is big and will need operating before he is six months if it doesn't start closing on it's own. Adam is three months old now. Gaining weight is his goal, the more the better, and all my reading points to breastfeeding continuing to be best for him, and so far my doctor agrees.

I nurse him as often as I can and I stay up pretty late with him and nurse him during the night too, he nurses better when he is half asleep because he just relaxes and drinks, when he is awake he tries to hurry to catch up with the milk and that is more tiring for him.

I just moved and didn't have my computer for a while. Time to catch up!

Here we are nursing in the van again. He nurses really well in the van, it's usually a good bit quieter than the house.
