Small Miracles

So I decided to write today because of a miracle, or perhaps a couple miracles.

I woke up this morning at 4:55 AM in pain because I hadn't fed her. She was still asleep!!  That was the first miracle, the next was that I was in pain.

I have had quite a hard time producing enough milk to keep my baby happy. Thankfully she is growing so I know its OK but I know sometimes she wants more than I have. I got a great and very expensive pump knowing that I would be going back to school in a few months and that my babe would need food but have previously only been able to pump .5 oz at a time.

I have tried over and over and over to get more than that and had only succeeded once in pumping about .75 oz. This morning I pumped 2.5 oz!!! YAY!!! And all this time I thought the pump had a problem (I still think it might).

So, maybe that's TMI, but I was so excited that I couldn't get back to sleep. And I couldn't wait to tell my husband so yes, I woke him up too.

And after all of that my baby was still sound asleep in her bed. 6 hours after I put her down.

She didn't wake up for another hour.
