Those little infants will be on a schedule in no time, and that will be a some relief.
Personally I think you have terrific stamina...I certainly would have caved sooner than this 
Time flies you know and we will see you in no time!  |

You're such a kind a giving person...you give of yourself so much, to so many and I'm just ONE of your admirers that respects you more and more. I appreciate you, truly.
Oh my gosh, yes. Cheri, curious and Jo are all amazingly giving and caring and the attention they give to *everything and every detail* is second to none. They would move Heaven and earth if they could to accommodate someone in need.
My little Johnathon (son of daughter having surgery) is so sweet right now! He's five months old on Weds. He's so funny, happy and just plain sweet. Oh my gosh, he's getting the cheeks that I'm having a hard time leaving alone now.
He's giggling lots now and gets this really surprised looked when a belly laugh comes out of his little body...LOL.
My oldest daughter and her little Ethan are still working things out. Breastfeeding has not been easy for either of them, but she's worked out something where she can now have a bit more help, I think. She gone strictly to pumping and bottle feeding. He wants to nurse all the time (but she won't offer him a pacifier in between and I personally think he wants to suck). He wants to eat, then 15 mins later eat again and maybe again until he's fuller. Then he's ready again in another couple of hours to do the same hour-long thing. She was more than exhausted and we all were limited to help. Now she can feed him breast milk (btw, he never took to the breast itself and she always had to use the shield for him to even suckle), but we can help her with him too when she needs a nap or needs to do something. His daddy was so excited to have that experience.
Thank you for the kind words about my stamina. I needed to read that and didn't know how much. It helps me to say, "gotta slow down for a bit" while feeling good at the same time, ya know?
I'll be checking in in short spurts to check PM's and a few threads.
Thank you always for your support, help and kind words. I can't tell you the impact your knowledge, but most importantly you're desire to help and share, has had on me.
