Distractions

Between learning how to care for Elizabeth and dealing with the recovery period I have not been able to make very regular posts. Hopefully in the next few days things will pick up and I will be more communcative. No promises though. I have a whole bunch of pictures to take off the camera and post but it is Elizabeth and my bedtimes. Hopefully she will let me sleep a little. I am suspecious about the condition of her diaper though, it is hard to tell what is gas and what is something more.
I am having a bit of a rough spot emotionally right now. I have a sore spot in my tummy and have to take an antibiotic that could get into my milk so I can't nurse Elizabeth for the next few days. I want to be able to go back to nursing her later so I am pumping, and feeling like a dairy cow. The worst is when after half an hour of pumping I have to dump the milk down the sink and give her formula. The experiance leaves me feeling terribly dissapointed and makes me doubt my ability to be the mother I want to be. I hope we can get back on track once I am done this stupid perscription.
Patrick and I are delighted to be parents and we are both enamoured with Elizabeth.
