I weighed and measured Robert this morning. He's 27.75" and about 20 pounds. If you're comparing stats to last month's post... don't. I wrote down what their adult scale said (17 pounds), but ours said 18.5... so he has gained about 1.5 pounds. We'll try sweet potatoes again tonight =)
Milk talk in the "more" - feel free to skip if you're not interested.
I rented an electric pump today. I recently found out that my thyroid is out of whack again (I had problems in college), and I'll be seeing an endocrinologist at the end of this month. In the event that he persuades me that medication is necessary (I'm not quite sure), my milk supply may take a hit while we're figuring out the proper dosage. So I'm building a freezer supply again, and pumping while still feeding Robert should convince my body to pick up supply now. So far, so good. The electric worked so much better in the amount of time that I used it than my manual ever has. If it continues to impress me, I'll purchase a Medela Pump-In-Style (I'm renting the Medela lactina, a hospital grade pump).
