Ok, I concede...grandma Umina is right! We have tons of clothes for 0-3 months but hardly any for 3-6 and 6-12. Yikes! I just realized that Will is already outgrowing a few things and Jack is another issue all together! His shorts are looking a little retro (ie: like he's on a basketball team from the '70's...you know SHORT). Most of his shorts are 2T and he's almost four! Then again, he's small for his age and now that the weather is getting hotter I realized I haven't had to buy him shorts for over a year. I did buy him a few 4T shorts and they are huge, but as we all know it's here until October so he's got plenty of time to grow into them.
His shirts are beginning to show his belly button when he raises his arms and I've already bought two pair of shoes in the last 4 months. I swear his feet are growing an inch a week! I may have to start playing the slot machines to afford these two :) Actually, I am thankful they don't care about labels at this age because Walmart and Target are wonderfully cheap.
As for me and the mommy front, things have been interesting. I have had to stop trying the breast feeding thing. My milk isn't coming back and my chest is incredibly sore from trying. Will is healthy and happy although a little gassy, so I'm happy for that. I feel bad about not being able to nurse like I'd planned, but I did my best and it's not my fault I got sick. The hospital stay really tossed a wrench into the works but again, that's not something I had any control over. Dan's been supportive and now it's up to me to move forward without guilt. Easier said than done, but I'm working on it :) Even my doctor has done his best to reassure me that I did everything I could.
Other than that I feel good for the most part. I still feel like a WHALE but I'll be working out as soon as I can. The one thing I don't like about pregnancy is trying to get back to "pre" baby weight. I hate dieting, but I guess it's back to work...no more Jack-in-the Box vanilla shakes for me :( I told Dan I felt like a cow the other day and he said, "Well, I feel like a goat and Jack is a pig so together we have a barnyard!"

Ha, Dan. Ha, ha. Funny. He was supposed to say, "You are not fat and I love you and you are the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet", but then again he did make me smile :)
Anyway, here are a few more pictures for everyone!

Sleeping baby...awwwww!
Will's first bath. Poor thing hated every second!
We took Jack to see Kung Fu Panda and he made Kung Fu faces for hours afterwards!
Getting ready to head out to mommy's chiropractor.

Will is such a cutie pie! Maybe he'll be like the two Uminas I'm raising and he'll be out of his 0-3 stuff by 1 month! Sorry that bfing didn't work out again. That would be really hard for me too. Like your doctor said though, it's totally not your fault so no more guilt over that.
Ok, ok...so we all have a bit of the funny farm in us! You all look wonderful!!! So happy to read that things are improving. I agree with Tiffany about the bfing thing...you gave it all you could. No need to stress over it. This is only one small part of bringing up baby. You've got a very supportive family and that is tops of the list!
Hugs to you all!
Mom Umina
Guess I am off to shop some more!!
