Being the granola mom that I am I decided upon breastfeeding our little man. Who knew that you could breastfeed an adopted baby!? It's all thanks to a miracle pill domperidone. I started the routine (4 times per day) this morning, and will continue to take them until I'm finished breastfeeding. I shouldn't have difficulties, but there is a possibility due to my breast implants. This is so exciting, though I'm not looking forward to engorged and swollen boobs.
On another note, Samantha (our birth mommy) & I have been texting frequently. We have bonded so quickly. She told me in a text this am that since we've been in communication that she feels so much more at peace with her decision of adoption. Her boys had the stomach bug that's going around with vomiting and diarrhea. She phoned our social worker crying as she went through an entire box of diapers in one day. I made a Costco run yesterday and purchased a large box of diapers and wipes and gave them to her yesterday. She was so appreciative, nearing the end of our meeting she opened her arms for a big hug. I also got to say hello to my son. :) It's these little moments in life that warm my heart.
We have an ultra sound appointment Monday morning. I'll post the photos like a proud mama would! :)
By for now!
You are already such a good friend to many. Your selflessness is such a good attribute and proves you will be the best mommy ever. I'm so excited for you and Adam. And that I am an Aunti again. And just so you know, I'm going to be baby's favorite auntie! xxoo
