Graham's fever held on for a bit, but this morning he's been fever free for 24 hours! He seems to slowly be getting his appetite back too.
I hadn't been letting even the girls go out to play while he was sick, because he gets sooooooo upset when anyone goes out without him. But today is supposed to be a beautiful (albeit HOT, high 95) day, so I'm thinking it'd be a perfect day for breaking out the sprinklers and having lunch out back!
With as well as my weight loss has been going, I'm sad to report that I think my milk supply has taken a hit from it. I had people warn me this might happen, so I'm not entirely surprised, but still disappointed. Making enough milk for Leah so that we don't have to supplement is a higher priority for me right now than losing weight. So I'm going to try to add in some more healthy calories and see what happens. Best case would be I make more milk AND keep losing weight!
I'm planning on spending naptime today going through pictures, so hopefully I'll have some new ones to post soon!
Hey girl! Don't know what kind of advice you've gotten for increasing your supply...prob extra calories is a good start, but also try fenugreek. It's found at a GNC or natural foods place. When I was trying to nurse (I never produced) I was given this tip by multiple lactation consultants. The only side effect is that you smell like maple syrup. I know it's weird and it never bothered me, but did bother my sister in law. Anyway, you can start out taking 1 pill 3x a day and up to as many as 3 pills 3x a day. Anyway, just thought I would throw that out there!
