Lettuce Forget Us.

Lol. I put that as my title because Addison has been SO colicky for the past 2 nights and I couldn't figure out why. It has been frustrating because I am so TIRED because she just sits up and cries all night long unless she is attached to my breast. So to get a little bit of shut eye I put her in our bed and hook her up and fall asleep. I've gotten very good at sleeping with a baby in my arms. I don't even have to wake up anymore to put my breast back in her mouth! Anyways, I was thinking and thinking about why all of a sudden she was so gassy and colicky. It is from lettuce. I know this because I ate some in the hospital and she had colic. I ate a salad on Sunday night and she had colic that night and then I ate salad last night and she had colic. It is lettuce. So, lettuce forget us! It is kind of sad/frustrating because I am trying to eat healthier but I can't even have a salad! I couldn't eat lettuce when I was pregnant with her because it made me horribly sick and now I can't eat lettuce because it makes Addison horribly sick. Oh well. Life goes on.

As for an update with my breastfeeding decision things are going really well and it turns out that I won't have to make that decision. We went to a lactation appointment yesterday and Addison was able to get 2.5 ounces from me! She is also back to her birth weight and then some. So I am now on the herb Fenugreek which is supposed to increase milk supply (my friend tried it and said it works really well) and Blessed Thistle which increases the flow of blood to my breasts. So hopefully they will work. We shall see! I will post later about Addison's 2 week appointment that she had last week Thursday. I just don't have time right now. Duty calls. A mom's work is never done!
