Apparently there is no question...it is a necessity! (or so they tell me, they being YOU)
So, here you go...
In the last oh month a lot has gone on!!! My sweet baby is now 3 months old!!! We have gone through thrush, stuffy noses, and Malnutrition!! Yes, it is sad but apparently I have not been giving my baby enough to eat! Oops!! I noticed that Aubri was not gaining as much weight as I thought she should (especially since Keija is like 3lbs bigger and 5 weeks younger!!) I also noticed that she was getting frustrated while nursing leaving me to believe that she was not getting enough milk, SO first went over to aunt Val's and she and Sarah gave me some great advise and were so supportive then I went to see a lactation specialist who gave me a lot of tips and helped me with nursing. She also confirmed my fear that Aubri was not getting the nutrition she needed, so I started supplementing her nursings with formula after. At first I felt really sad that I had to do this, but after the first day I realized that she really did need it, she became a happier, more content baby over night. She also is GROWING!! It is crazy how fast she seems to be growing now, weird what a little food will do for ya huh? :)
Aubri has also gone camping a few more times since the last post, so far she seems to like it, she also has gone swimming! I don't mean simply being in the water, I mean swimming! My mom did a mommy and me swimming class with all of us when we were little so I let her put Aubri under the water! It was cute, a little scary, and boy she did NOT like it! lol And Kari looked like she couldn't believe what was happening! LOL She likes the water, she just does not like to be drowned I guess....who would have thought. :)
I have been working and being a mom the rest of the time and I love it!! Although I get a little frustrated with my boss some times I still think it's an ok job. Chandler and I want to move down to Utah county ASAP. I don't know how soon ASAP is but we like to dream anyway.
So, to promote Trish's new endeavor....I Love her Stuff!!!! She made me a wipes case and I ended up buying 2 more for my friends who are having babies. Those covered cases are the cutest things I have ever seen!! So yeah, buy some!!
Well we are going to my dad's for dinner so I have to go, sorry so short. Ill be sure to keep blogging.

yeah for blogs!!!!...oh and thanks for the free advertising:)
So glad to hear from you again. Sounds like you have been busy. I am glad things are going better for you now. It is hard to work and take care of a baby. Nursing is so hard when you just don't have time to relax. My mom always used to tell me to eat chocolate chip cookies and sit down and read a book and I would get more milk. Imagine-my mom, the queen of healthy eathing. Anyway it would work. When are we going to see more pictures of your beautiful baby?
Yeah you're back!
I was so surprised to see on my blogroll that by your name it said "Last Updated August 16" instead of "Monday July 7". Yay!
Yes, I was a little horrified at your mom dropping your poor little infant into the water and watching her "swim" (read: struggle for life). jk I'll admit it, I'm a big wuss about stuff with Jayci and trying to keep her safe so there's lots I'm not into yet. I'm sure I'll relax with each child, but for now, I'm comfortable saying that I'm kinda uptight. =)
