Day 1

So today was a very sad day for me……today I fed my sweet little formula for the first time. Steve and I have been talking about it for a while and I knew the time was coming I just didnt realize it would feel the way it did. As I was shaking her bottle I couldn’t help but feel like a terrible mother and I have absolutely NO idea why. I absolutely HATE breastfeeding and couldn’t wait to quit, so what was it that made me feel so terrible about switching over? I honestly feel like society shoves breastfeeding down your throat and makes you feel like less of a woman if you dont love it. Fed is best. We’re all just doing the best we can.

On top of the emotional day of switching over I also had to deal with my first carseat blowout…yikes. I always swore I wouldnt be able to clean up baby poop but it got all over my hands as I was grabbing her out of her carseat and it didn’t even bother me. Motherhood is crazy, yall.

My little still loves being out and about-I was beyond blessed with such a laid back baby. Mama had to run to the post office and make a huge fuss getting her out of the car and into a stroller just to run in for no more than two minutes then have to unload her back into the car and she didn’t make a peep just stared around at all of her new surroundings. We then met Jessica and Everly at World of Beer where I fed her (her new formula-ok I’ll stop bringing it up) while we were sweating on the patio-yet again not a peep. We walked around the commons and went to Craft Bar and babygirl was still just as content as she could be. Got to Jessica’s –where the blowout happened– and she finally got a little fussy but once she was all cleaned up all was right with the world again. We went to the high school for the game made it to halftime and we were both ready to tap out and go home to get into our jammies.

I’m sure I’ll get the hang of blogging-I’m really just doing this just to document our day to day life so I can look back on everything in years to come
