Learning when enough is enough

We are walking the fine line of figuring out when our child has had enough to eat and when she has had too much.
Here are our first cousin pictures.... There will be more to come of more cousins later on, but Oliva and Elly  Märta had their first encounter. It was fun.

typing one handed

well everyone things are going better in our small little world these last couple days.... here are a few photos recently. elly märta is four weeks old tomorrow, can't quite believe it, so crazy how fast things happen. a family photo for you, a picture with aunt mickie, and a few just random ones.

Rough couple days

Okay, so I will admit that the last couple days have been a little rough. Breastfeeding is a little tough sometimes, but everyone tells me to "hang in there, it will get better", but when i keep asking, it seems like one painful experience after another. anyhow.. i had an inflammation in my feeders and that caused some pain.. i think that with a couple bottles of tylenol i might be able to continue doing this, we will see. but with all efforts comes some progress on the other side of it. Elly Märta is growing. she has surpassed her birth weight and is almost up to nine pounders... her are her three week pictures. they aren't the best, so forgive me, but let me remind you... the last few days have been painful.....

Some pictures of the momma and the babe

Well, jonathan took some pictures of the two of us. I said you know we don't have any picutres of me and the babe. jonathan said well maybe because she is always attached to your boobie... when you have her. I tell you what, she loves to eat, eat, eat. I guess maybe she takes after me in that area of life. the only thing that we will have to see is when we come to america is she loves sterzings potato chips and anderson erikson french onion dip. we will make sure that if she isn't eating real food yet, that i eat plenty of that good stuff that it comes through the milk factory. i think that she will love it.

Two weeks old....WOW!!!!

hey everyone.. i wanted to post a couple pictures of our little troll after two weeks. She is getting cuter and cuter and well cuter of course. I hope that you enjoy the pictures of her as much as we enjoy her. some times she has a difficult time sleeping at night, but does a WONDERFUL job sleeping during the day.
We love all of you...

our little "Sucker"
