update
1st off I can't believe my little girl is 1 month old already. I feel like she's growing up on me already. She's almost 8 pounds now. She still has her days and nights mixed up. My mom and grandma told me to turn RaeAnna like a clock and that she'll change her sleeping habits around lol.
This Friday Darrell's parents are coming in to see their granddaughter for the first time. They're coming in late but will still stop by since it will be 10pm and we stay up late anyway. His dad will stay for 3 days and his mom will stay for 2 weeks. The 3 days they'll be at a hotel then after that his mom will stay with us.
Yesterday and the day before I had constipation so bad that my butthole tore. Man it felt like tearing too omg it hurt! So I had to eat more fiber and I took a stool softener. Unfortunately I think the stool softener passed into my daughter because she pooped 4 times today. Darrell was so funny he was grossed out over the poop and said it looked like jelly. He said it was just wrong.

Baby's cord
This morning my baby's cord fell off. I have saved it because that's what my mom did with mine and my brother's. So now my baby girl can take bath's instead of sponge bath's.

Fenugreek
I started taking Fenugreek to up my breast milk supply. I can't believe it works! I was so down in the dumps because I wanted to give my daughter the best food and I couldn't produce enough to feed her. Now I am and I'm so much happier. Also my tummy's starting to look closer to what it looked like before I was pregnant. I still have to work out and get it back to where it was but at least I'm closer.

low milk supply :-(
I've been feeling depressed today. I've cried probably 3 times today because my milk supply is low. The reason why I'm sad is because I want the best for my daughter and I feel it's my fault that she's not getting enough of my milk. See my lazy butt didn't want to get up anymore than I had to at night so I was giving her formula bottles. I wasn't pumping at all during the night. So now because I haven't pumped much my milk supply is low. Tonight I started pumping every 2-3 hours but it just seems like my breast milk is getting less and less. I fear that my milk will dry up and I won't be able to give my little girl the best. I even have one of those good $200 double electric pumps by Ameda. Another thing is my appetite has decreased. I don't feel hungry and I'm forcing myself to eat and I know I'm still not eating the extra calories needed for me and baby. I don't understand what is going on with me.
