This picture wins this week just because I'm thankful to whoever invented the baby swing. My parents bought us one this week, and it is absolutely AMAZING!! Judah loves to sit in it and listen to the music that it plays. Rob and I have actually been able to sit down and eat supper together!

thankful for more support

Judah and I had a hard time with the breastfeeding again this past weekend, so I'm thankful to have found a public health breastfeeding clinic that works out of the Sears at Limeridge Mall. They have a nursing room for shopping moms, and every afternoon between 1 and 4, two public health nurses are there for breastfeeding support. They also have a scale where you can weigh your baby when you come in

I took Judah there today, and they offered some helpful tips. Of course, he did much better there than he does at home. I think it's because I'm more relaxed when I know someone's there to help than when I'm at home, worried that I won't be able to feed my boy.
