Straight from the Tap

Tomorrow is going to be a historic event. We will try breast feeding for the first time. What everyone is hoping for is that the little light goes on and she realizes that she is ready to eat from a nippled item 8 times a day.

How well this goes depends on a lot of things, will she not like the bottle anymore? Will she not like it from the nipple? Will she not like the fortified taste any longer? Will she not like the regular taste? Will she quit gaining weight? Will she gain more? Will she sleep better?

WE DON'T KNOW....

So much like everything tomorrow, it is all up in the air. Hopefully it will make her make the move....and all will be well. That is our goal. We will see how it goes.

Oh, and to be topical....go vote. I have a little girl in the NICU that never needs to feel insecure in her lifetime. She will not feel it when I can protect her, but I don't want her to feel it anywhere in this country. Right now, if not for our brave, incredible men and women, I would not have a daughter right now. America makes all of this innovation and technology possible to keep alive a 25 week old baby and the soldiers and service men and women make it possible for us as parents to be free enough to have the time with our daughter. I cannot stress enough how valuable that is, and how much it means to me. Also, once you see what 25 week old babies look like, you realize that they are human, and they should survive. So please....vote correctly.
