Oh my gosh, congratulations Lilac and Tank and Tear! I'm so happy for all of you!

Hi ladies! I think of you often and hope to see some updates soon!   Andaluza, what a gorgeous guy! Glad to hear he's an easy traveler and has adjusted well to daycare. It gets a little easier to be away from them during the...

Ha, what Scowgirl said! What a beautiful mama and a beautiful baby! Congratulations, Pitch! Hang in there with the breastfeeding. I also had bleeding, scabby nipples in the beginning. It finally got better about three weeks in.
