I ate something that didn’t quite agree with you – dried fruit. It gives both you and me . . . the toots!
I rubbed some Young Living Peppermint Oil on your belly which helped some.
But not enough.
Rather than continue to aggravate your little belly with my dried-fruit filled mommy milk . . . we gave you a bottle of frozen mommy milk.
Daddy got to feed you for the first time.
I think you liked taking a bottle.
But you much prefer nursing.
For that I am thankful.

Sorry about this picture . . . but by the time I remembered to take your picture . . . well, you were none too happy with me.
And the reality is that though you are a good baby, sometimes you do cry.
Day 43: Monday, November 29
I still am blown away by your clothes. Though these are man-made, they remind me of the intricate detail that God took when making each and every detail about His children – US – You!
Oh, I had to take you to see Swathi today. Your cough -- yikes . . . scary.
However, she confirmed what I was doing and only added that you needed a humidifier and saline spray up your nose.
Now there were a few other things that she wanted to do too . . . but they were optional. I’m not going to do them. Why? I firmly believe that the ONLY thing to enter your digestive track right now is breast milk.
Curious as to what she wanted you to take? Vitamin D and a probiotic (but it contained a few other things). Both of these would change the content in your saliva which then gets communicated back to my body when you nurse. So . . . my milk would change, perhaps prematurely, and not give you all the nutrients that you need.
