We made it!
Today Molly is 6 weeks old...the magical age where all our problems disappear. I still don't really understand why everyone (and I do mean everyone) insists that things are hardest before 6 weeks but I'm hoping they're right and that it'll be nothing but smooth sailing for the next 35 years.
Yesterday Molly was eating every 2 hours and I thought it was growth spurt time but it only seemed to last the day (and from what I hear growth spurts last 2-3 days) so I think we still have that to look forward to.
This morning we went for our follow-up appointment with the Foothills Breastfeeding Clinic. I was hoping the doctor would declare me a yeast-free zone so that I could start pumping breastmilk and storing it but no such luck. Looks like I've got at least one more week (I've been treating yeast for 3.5 weeks now) of treatment for us.
Molly is 9 lbs today.
