Donation Option

It's really hard toblog one handed. If only my baby would sleep in his crib.
Anyway, I am participating the GREAT STRIDES walk to raise money to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. I am suppose to raise $150.00 by Saturday but I have been to busy to do any fund raising. If you or any one you know would like to donate, please go to the Great Strides Web Link on the side of my blog under fun links and look up Shelley Dopp and donate under my name. Even a dollar would help. Thanks. http://www.cff.org/great_strides/FundRaisingSummary/

Welcome to the World Baby Dopp

It has taken me a while to get around to finding some free time to add some pictures of our little baby. Isn't he so cute!

























We had a ruff start but I think things are slowing starting to turn around. If we could just get breastfeeding down I think everything would be wonderful. Any helpful hints on how to get a proper latch would be very welcome. I have no clue how mothers breastfeed by simply holding thier babies in their arms. I tried that yesterday and it was a disaters. I am confind to a chair with pillows for support. I hate it, but it is important to me to continue to try so I will, even though my nipples are killing me and I basically have the lactation specialist on speed dial and my copy of "What to expect in the first year" next to me at all times.

Other than the breastfeeding he is an exceptionally good baby. I usually have to wake him up to feed him. This was when he was a week old. I'm getting ready to change his diaper so that I can feed him.

Even better, he sleeps about 4 hours at night. He only wakes up once. It's awesome! I hope that never stops.
I think I would have gone crazy without Nate. He took work off for the first two weeks and let me rest. He did the dishes, the laundry and cleaned the house. It was fantastic. He even watched the baby in the mornings so I could shower.
