Dear Isla

Dear Isla,
These first two weeks with you have been amazing, wonderful, and exhausting! You have already changed SO much. I hate that I am too tired and harried to post pictures regularly. Trying to increase my milk supply is a whole darn lot of work and I am not seeing much progress, which is discouraging. But at the same time, I rather enjoy feeding you bottles. I love the way you gaze at me while I do so. And I love that daddy gets to feed you too. We don't get that with breastfeeding. So as much as I wanted to breastfeed you exclusively, I think I am actually satisfied with supplementing formula. As long as you're healthy, that's really the only thing that matters.
You are such a sweet and good baby. You only cry when you're hungry and you sleep so well. You love the sound of running water and your pacifier. You don't LOVE baths or having your diaper changed, but as long as you can hear the water and suck on your soothie you are so good. You've just today started grasping things, my shirt while you nurse, your soothie when it falls out of your mouth...I'm so proud of you.
You should be waking up soon and we're going to Nana's house tonight. So no more time to blog. But I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to see how you change tomorrow.
Love,
Mommy
