Loving Support

Yesterday Brady and I attended our first Loving Support "class/get together". Loving Support is organized by lactation specialists and is a meeting place for moms to get together and meet other moms and babies of similar age and also discuss problems/concerns with breastfeeding. They also offer support to moms and do weekly weigh-ins for babies. This particular group meets at a baby furniture store called Jadabugs. There were three other little boys, one 9 weeks, 6 months and 9 months and a little girl just two weeks old. It was nice to get out of the house and meet other moms. They were all very kind. One of them even started her own mom website called http://www.itsamomthing.com/. It's basically like a blogspot, facebook or myspace for moms. It allows moms to communicate, chat, and you can create your own webpage. The creator of the site definitely has her hands full. She has a ten year old, gave birth to twins in Feb of 07 and then gave birth to a son on New Year's Eve of Dec 07. She had three kids in less than a year...bless that woman's heart. It was interesting to hear all of their stories to say the very least.

Taking advantage of the scale at this session, I weighed Brady and at three weeks old (I can't believe he's 3 weeks old!!) he weighs 8lbs 2oz. This means he gained over a pound yet again this week. If he keeps up this rate of a pound a week he's going to be one large baby!!! The ladies told me I had fat milk and he must be enjoying it!!! Those chubber cheeks sure are filling out!!
