Ok so it's official... I am now part of the "Baby Wearing Mommy Club" :) Yes, that is right, I use my child as an accessory! I got my Moby Wrap today and I am already in LOVE with it! It is so comfortable and Eli seemed to like it a lot better than the sling and the front carrier! He was really content in there looking around. I can't wait until I can try it while we are out and about! Here we are sporting the new Moby! :) Yes I know my house is a mess... one day I will get to organizing again! :)
Eli is doing great, however we had a little issue with me. I had been running fevers and ended up going to the doctor, turns out I had Mastitis (an infection in my Bobbie) my ducts got clogged because I was producing too much milk so I got a shot and have been on antibiotics for a week. I go back to the docs tomorrow for another shot and to see how everything is doing. Now it seems like I am hardly producing enough milk as Eli had been very frustrated while he is nursing. He gets really angry and I hardly hear him swallow so I have an appointment with my LC (Lactation Consultant) on Friday to see what is going on. I started taking Fenugreek and Mother's Milk to see if I can increase my production again but we will just have to wait. I have been getting really frustrated because everyone tells me to keep latching him on but I can tell he is not getting enough milk and he cries so then I cry right along with him from frustration. I hate knowing that I have pumped milk in the fridge and not being able to give it to him (His sucking is suppose to help the issue with Mastitis and to increase my milk production again) I end up giving in most days and give him some of the pumped milk, I can't stand to see my little man cry with hunger when I know I am able to take care of his need, if I end up losing my milk then so be it I have been trying really hard but I am not going to let my little guy be hungry in the meantime! I have been pumping a lot more so I am hoping that helps.
On to other news, we went down to Rio Rico this weekend so Eli could meet his Great Grandma B. He was able to meet a lot of his cousins as well and even got to meet some Great, great aunts and uncles as well! Here are a few pics

Then on Sunday my dad decided to take us to Patagonia lake. We were only there for about an hour and a half before we had to leave because a huge storm came in. There was hail everywhere that we had to wait it out a little before we could leave. There was so much hail that the ground looked like it had just snowed!
Here is Daddy and Eli at the Lake
Grandma please give me my bottle!
And here are these two pictures just for fun! Eli during a bath down in Rio Rico (He LOVE's his hand)
He really has the pouting down now! :)
He is too cute! What great photos! And I love the sling!! Where did you order it from? I'm hoping that they get one on babysteals.com, and I can order it from there! :)
