Astoundingly, now that I've shifted to exclusively pumping for all but the 4am feed, I'm getting out 23-25oz a day. She's probably getting 1-1.5oz more than that out during the 4am feed, so I'm finally able to basically keep up with my baby's needs. Wow. Wish I could do it without pumping 9-10x/d, but if this is what it takes, I'll see how long I can keep it up for. My poor nipples are all pink/red from the irritation of no breaks from the suction, but so far we're surviving.
I still can hardly believe she's ours.

it's a marvellous thing, isn't it? i still don't think it's hit me yet that i'm somebody's mother.
congrats on the pumping! that's wonderful that you're able to keep up!
she's cute - she does look so serious!
Wow, sounds like you are a milk factory these days! Good work, mommy! She is just too adorable for words. Love the food all over the face. Does she have any favorites?
Awwww, she's adorable! I recognize those Thirsties Duo diapers! My little guy is still swimming in them, so still in disposables. You should post an update on cloth diapering. =)
So glad to hear that pumping is providing enough milk. I just finished pumping myself. I'm sorry it's not exactly as you'd like it, I so get that! I'll be posting more of our BFing progress soon.
I like all the pics. She does have a sense of humour or can make people laugh. She seems so mature.
Loved the pictures!
What a beautiful little girl...great pics (thanks for sharing her with us!!) I am so happy to hear that your pumping is going well - which pump are you using?
Congratulations!!! You're doing so great with the pumping and BF and it must be such a good feeling to know that your dedication has finally led you to being able to meet all of K's needs! It was a strange day for me too when I realized that we didn't need any formula anymore. K looks awesome and is showing a lot of dexterity to play with the animals.
Love the pics!!!!
I also wonder when it will really settle in- that we are mothers. So amazing!
