Anna Marie
8 lbs 3 oz
20 inches long
I was pre-eclamptic so I've had to spend the last 24 hours on magnesium, which means I haven't gotten out of bed yet! It's terrible! I have to have Cory or a nurse bring her to me; it's so frustrating!
In the meantime; nursing is so much harder than anyone told me it would be! Anna Marie won't open her mouth wide enough to latch on, and when she finally does she won't stay on for more than a couple of minutes. The nurse thinks the problem is because my nipples are relatively flat. So she gave me a nipple shield.
It's making it easier for her to latch on, but making my poor breasts suffer! Hopefully she won't have to use it forever!
