Charlie Grace Update

3 months old.

Charlie Grace. I simply indulge in her delicious every single day...I mean check her out! Today is not only her 1/4 birthday but also is the official end of our 4th trimester.... it's supposed to be now that I can jump back into the world with both feet. Hmmm I think I did that a few weeks back. Our not so wee Charlie is very much a blessing to our family. I melt at her smile, go nuts over her fat rolls and simply cherish her snuggly-ness.

As much as I love this girl with all of my being...recovering from her birth has been difficult and long. I am still having back issues, weakened stomach muscles and at times flash backs coupled with a bit of anxiety surrounding her birth. This has not only surprised me because I am completely ok with my decisions and can't fault my care but makes me sad as well. Obviously, it's something I still need to process and heal from. No need to worry though I will....I have a good good God.

Latch On

Celebrating World Breastfeeding Week right here in my lounge with a #brelfie. Charlie Grace and I didn't make to it to our local 'Big Latch On' as I had a dentist appointment. I know what I would rather had been doing though.

Breast feeding has always been a top priority and I worked out that I have spent over TEN YEARS of my life doing it....and we are still going strong. That's a quarter of my life!!! I do recognize that I am one of the lucky ones and have never had any problems with breast feeding or getting any of my babies to latch properly...two of them even had a tongue-tie and throughout their time of feeding managed to stretch it and it's been no issue. I know every mum's journey is different, and it doesn't come naturally to everyone, but I truly believe that given the right support, education, nourishment, care and encouragement it's something that the majority of woman can do.

I wonder if I'll make it to next years "Latch On"?
