Grateful
23. I am thankful for warm homemade dinners. (We haven't seen them much since Lady Bug was born!?) Tough to make dinner at a specific time with a preschooler and a new born all by yourself! I sure miss Papa's help and being home.
22. I am thankful for Family and to be able to see them soon and share our newest addition with everyone!
21. I am thankful that even though I've been sick Papa has been a HUGE help whenever he's been home. I am thankful that Buddy has been content watching movies and playing on my bed while I try to rest/sleep when Lady Bug's napping.

20. Today I am grateful for A&W Rootbeer. Yes, I know this may sound strange to some. But this little beauty is suppose to help increase breast milk production. So far I've been drinking it 22 hours and I've noticed a small difference! I'll let you know what happens in a week!

Small Update
So things are getting better. An update as to where we are now. Ben is starting to potty train. Yes that means that things are going much better for Symi and I that I can help Ben learn how to go potty! So far so good! I'm so glad that he's learning and so proud of himself. It sure is neat for me to see him learning and growing so much.
Symi is growing, gaining weight and healthy! She is doing so well now. I've been breastfeeding her as much as possible and supplementing with formula. My milk seems to be slowly going away. Which is good and bad. We've reduced it enough that she can now feed off me and is getting what she needs. So I am no longer making her sick. But now I'm not making enough. It's a cruel irony but none the less, a beautiful learning process. So I am now pumping to get my milk to come back. But not too much as to over stimulate and cause the same problem to develop again. Our new goal is to completely breastfeed her by Christmas! We'll let you know if we get there. Thank you for all your kind comments, thoughts, prayers, and emails. They have meant so much to me. I'm so sorry that I don't have fun pictures to look at my computer doesn't want to upload and pictures. Which makes me really sad because I'd love to have you see how well Symi is doing!
Ben and Symi are starting to interact. Every time Ben walks by Symi stops crying and reaches for him. Trying to get him to come closer. Although she is a girl and sometimes cries when he puts a toy too close to her face or shakes a rattle viciously 2 inches from her nose. But overall they are so cute to watch. You can tell that when Dane and Ben wrestle on the floor. She wiggles and squirms so much. It's almost like she's trying to get down there with them, but her infant body isn't developed enough to allow her the fun time of wrestling just yet. She smiles and coos at them for now.
Just thought I'd send you an update and let you know that even though it's been a while since I've posted last we are doing well!
