Feeding A Baby

JW was a big baby when he was born (8 lbs 13 oz) and then lost a lot of weight (2 pounds) because I wasn’t able to nurse him. We started giving him formula and he bounced right back. Fast forward to him being six months old and he is a healthy 19.2 pounds!

My Brother

Baby Update

I am huge.

See!
But oddly enough, I’ve technically only gained two pounds. That’s because of losing so much weight at the beginning and throughout. But he still grew and is doing great. He constantly moves and I’ve been having Braxton Hicks contractions forever now. A couple of weeks ago, for one day, they were every half [...]
