This week the air turned cold here in Idaho and I am afraid that summer has left us. Tessa was able to wear almost all of her summer outfits and this was the last one she will wear for the year. She is finally wearing 0-3 and some 3-6 month clothes. She is getting long.
We have had another frustrating weekend. I tried taking her off the bottle and just breastfeeding. Friday she didn't want anything to do with me, but Saturday she breastfed all day just fine. Sunday morning we weighed her and she had lost an ounce and a half. That was so frustrating to me!! Then Sunday she wouldn't breastfeed at all again. To make things worse, Sunday night came around and I had totally lost my milk supply! Why can't things just work correctly right now? Including my daughter!! So I have been trying to get my milk back for the last two days and have been trying to get in to see a lactation specialist, but I am not having a lot of luck with that. There are days (a lot of them) where I am ready to just give up. It's a good thing she is so cute!
My mom came up for a couple of days last week so I could take a couple of naps. It was so nice to have her here and so nice to sleep!! As if there wasn't enough going on, poor Adam is sick with croup this week. He is having a hard time with not getting enough attention. His new thing is coloring. He spends a good chunk of his day coloring and he is pretty good at staying in the lines for a two year old. 
Tessa has her 8 week check up on Thursday and her blessing is on Sunday. We will let you all know how things go. She should hit 9 pounds tomorrow!!! You have no idea how happy that
makes us. I told her she better be as good as I was when she is a teenager after putting me through all of this.
