Without a doubt, being a mother is the most exhausting, emotional, exciting, awesome, and rewarding thing I've ever done. I love my son with such intensity I never knew existed. Liam is such a good baby! :) He eats 3 oz. of formula every 3-4 hours and sleeps in 2 hour blocks during the day and 4 hour blocks at night. I will be so excited when he starts sleeping through the night. I started out breastfeeding while supplementing with formula due to my milk taking a few days to come in and then it went well for about a week then I started pumping to make night-feedings going quicker. Sadly, my supply was enough in the beginning but little piglet wanted more than what I could give. I had some nights where we would nurse for an hour and he'd cry for more. It broke my heart because I felt like I wasn't doing something right but we did start giving him formula. I tried pumping so he'd get a little breast milk but I'd only get 1/2 oz combined so I don't even bother.
As for Liam, he is holding his head up so well and follows things with his eyes. I swear I saw him flash a smile at me today. And he definitely has Jon wrapped around his little itty bitty finger.
I love my new family of three.
