Our Breasts Floweth NONE
Well, unlike my sister-in-law Marla, whose breasts floweth over, mine do not flow at all. If you imagine a leaky sink that barely drips, that is what I am like. After pumping for 20 minutes, I end up with eh, maybe 1.25 oz. of milk. So, after a week of that, we gave up. I have no idea whats in these honkin big things, but I do know it's NOT milk. We are gladly onto only formula...Infamil LIPIL with Iron to be exact. Bailey is taking 4.25 oz every 3.5-4 hours. During the night she goes 6 - 6.5 hour stretches.
This week I dropped Bailey off at Daddy's office to hang out while Mommy went to her 6 week check-up. Bailey did great. Everyone gooed and gahed over her. They all commented on how cute her nose is. It was funny when they all asked Paul how well she was sleeping at night. Daddy's response was "I don't have a clue. I sleep in the spare bedroom everynight." They all thought that was strange. Mommy and Daddy think that it is best that he get his sleep so that he can concentrate on his job during the day. It also gives Mommy the ENTIRE king size bed to herself. Lots of room to stretch! After visiting with everyone at Daddy's work, he took her out to lunch. They went to a sandwich shop. He enjoyed his day with his little girl. Mommy picked Bailey up a couple hours later.
Speaking of sleeping....Bailey is sleeping about 6 hours at night. She goes down around 10pm or so and doesn't wake again until 4am. She is also getting on a schedule during the day. She wakes up around 9 am takes a bottle and then goes down for her morning nap around 11am. We wake back up and take another bottle around 2:30pm and then go back down for our 2 hour afternoon nap. Once she wakes up from that nap, she is up until 8 or 9pm.
Bailey has been spending a lot of time on her tummy. We are trying to build up those neck muscles. She was in the middle of lifting her head when I snapped a picture. In the picture her eyes were crossed. Let me asure you that she is not cross-eyed. But, I thought this picture was so funny that I posted it on the web.
I am losing control of my household. What am I talking about you might ask? Well, I have always said that I would never own a dog. We now own a dog. I also said that a dog would NEVER come inside my house. Well, the dog not only came in my house....it drank the water out of the toilet, ate some of my skittles, and even napped on my couch. What is this world coming to????? I can guarantee you one thing. That dog will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER sleep in my bed! You can be sure of that!
Paul finally got his deer mount back that he shot 10/5/04. He took a week off to hunt with his buddy Jeff from Seattle. They hunted every day for a week straight and nothing. Not a thing UNTIL.....a big 8 pointer walked infront of Paul. He shot it from 40 yards.
Enough with the talking...here is what you really want PICTURES. Click here to see all the pics.

Ahh ... the breast pump. I remember being at my 15-year class reunion. My wife needed to pump and found the ladies room -- which would have allowed use of the electric pump -- to be too public.
We snuck off to the car so she could use the hand pump.
As we sat in the parking lot, with classmates walking by periodically, I couldn't help but think that 15 years prior I'd have been sneaking to the car to sneak a beer ... and now I'm sneaking off so my wife could pump.
Your child is adorable.
