I can now wear earrings... Baby Girl is two months now and over the past two weeks or so I have felt more back into the swing of things and getting back to my daily routines. Haven't gotten back to wearing makeup but, I have grown comfortable with going without it. I still love makeup and looking at others makeup for ideas but, I'm comfortable going out without it. Unless of course I was dressing up for something.  

Prior to the last couple of weeks I could only do the bare minimum to get out after giving birth to my baby. 

She's also adapted to riding in the car! No more screaming and crying during car rides. We were able to do a little shopping and use the stroller!

I've learned to that my baby girl likes to keep me in her line of vision so if i'm doing dishes or so I put her in her swing ( which she has also grown to enjoy) and place it at the entry of the kitchen not too close but, close enough for her to see me. Also, this great little mirror by Safety 1st that I found at Babies 'R Us allows us to see each other in the car. It is attached by a suction cup in the corner of the rear window.  She can look up and see me and I can turn and look in the mirror to check on her. It was reasonable and doesn't obscure the view for driving safely.

I love Breastfeeding! It's 1:06a.m. and I am lying in bed nursing my two month old daughter. We both sleep better when we co-sleep and nursing in bed helps make this possible.

Breastfeeding is such a nurturing experience. It's a short sacrifice that has so many health and emotional benefits for both mom and baby. You should nurse for at least a year if possible. With my son I did it for six months and this time I would like to continue for a year. I may not be able to go out for cocktails for awhile but, like I said it is a short sacrifice with many benefits.

One of the cute quirks of breastfed babies is the rooting reflex. It's so adorable to see this innate characteristic in babies. It was one of the fond memories I had of nursing my son and am experiencing again with my surprise blessing - my new baby girl.

Breastfeeding is convenient. For the most part. Milk is always warm and ready. Breastfeeding around others can make it feel inconvenient unless that doesn't bother you or you're comfortable covering up by using a nursing cover or blanket.
