Being a Mom is amazing!

Being Prelsey's mommy is so wonderful, challenging, fun, tiring (make that exhausting), and ever changing! Our gorgeous girl is now 3 months and 12 days. It is so strange how the time flies, and yet it feels like we came home from the hospital years ago!

Presley is such a joyful baby, she is active and is now so aware of her surroundings. This past week however we have encountered what I came to find out as a "nursing strike". Starting on Tuesday she would go to nurse and then after a minute pull away and cry, and then sometimes would refuse to even latch on. What! Since day 1 Presley has been a champ at nursing. Eating about every three hours and finishing a feeding in usually 10 minutes. Well after some researching I found out a nursing strike can happen when there is a change in routine or in a babies surroundings (among other things). Monday was her first night in her crib, so I think that that is what is causing all of this. VERY FRUSTRATING. However, a few things will help: nursing her after a nap when she is still drowsy, and standing and swaying while feeding her. That one is unusual since I always feed her on the couch.

Well, this is only suppose to last a few days so here's hoping it ends soon!
