Being a mom

Being a mom is the most exhausting, tiring, frustrating, and WONDERFUL thing I have experienced to date. Bryson has his days and nights mixed up. He's gone from breast feeding to breast milk in a bottle to being a formula baby. He couldn't quite latch on right away due to a tongue tie, so we began pumping and giving him breast milk in a bottle. At about 2 weeks old, he decided he'd start projectile vomiting the breast milk. So we moved on to formula - Similac Advanced. This gave our little one a HUGE amount of gas which made him quite the fuss pot. A call to the pediatritian and two samples later, we are now Enfamil GentleEase users. This seems to agree with him a bit better - but it's only been a few bottles, so we won't know for sure just yet. Keeping our fingers crossed!

So the past few weeks have been indescribable. I say this because I went through a bout of the baby blues when he was first born - crying at everything and anything and nothing at all. I went through a fussy, gassy, not wanting to take to the boob baby. I went through countless gas smiles and tons of adorable little noises as he eats. I went through sleepless nights which led to sleep deprivation. I went through the most amazing thing ever - and love my son more than words can say.
