Check out those JUGS!

This is what I pumped at 3 AM while Michelle slept 9 hours straight. That's 8oz of boob juice in one shot! No wonder they call them "jugs".

This was her last night brfore bed. I thought her look was priceless.

And a smile for everyone...

Michelle slept 10 hours straight!

I am astonished! Michelle was very sleepy last night and crashed by 7:30. I stayed up enjoying "me" time. At 10:00 I pumped my breasts and was in bed by 10:30, anticipating a wake-up around 1:30 since Michelle rarely sleeps more than 6 hours straight (which I think is already pretty good, by the way). So imagine my astonishment when I woke up at 4:45 with engorged breasts and not a peep from the little one. Before heading upstairs to pump my boobs, I placed my hand over her head, just to make sure she was still BREATHING. She was. Not wanting to deplete her milk supply if she woke up soon, I pumped 4 oz out of the right breast only and went back to bed a little after 5:00. Lying in bed, left breast still engorged, I silently pleaded for her to wake up and drain the sucker. Around 5:45, I heard ONE cry, leaped out of bed, and attached Michelle to my left breast, half-way suspecting someone switched babies on me while I slept.
Michelle and Io enjoy tummy time this morning

Michelle isn't a huge fan of tummy time, but she tends to like it better if I prop her on a pillow. Her back/neck extension is really getting nice and strong.

Yesterday's family hike at point defiance. It was a gorgeous sunshine day with a crisp fall breeze. Temperature actually dropped to 34 last night. The furnace had its debut of the season this morning. Maybe that's why Michelle slept so well. Barry and I always sleep better in colder weather.

The best picture from our hike last weekend!

Tammy took this one last weekend. With the mountains in the back-drop, Michelle looks like a true mountain-baby!
