Introducing...
GHL!

7lb 14oz
20 inches long
She looks just like ASL! She's eating and sleeping well. ASL is adjusting to changes slowly. She's very clingy and fussy whenever I feed GHL. I'm having difficulty with breastfeeding again. I wasn't able to do it the first time so I pumped for 3 months and gave ASL half formula and half breastmilk for 6 months. Since I went through it before, I was able to figure out exactly what the problem is this time. It's still hard but I'm trying my best... we'll see what happens... Giving birth naturally was nothing compared to breastfeeding. For me, breastfeeding is the hardest thing. Please keep me in your prayers.
Thank goodness for my mom and my mother-in-law. They are helping me a lot and I'm able to handle things better this time around. I'm much happier and not so crazy. By "God's Grace", I'm able to survive!

what a sweet, sweet picture of the sisters... i hear you about how difficult breastfeeding is, although i can't say that i've gone natural with the birth. i still can't believe you did that. i'll be keeping you in my prayers.
it also gives me hope and peace to hear you say that it's been easier second time around. :)
i'm praying for you and for your family. keep letting go and let's keep trusting... also, please, please don't feel badly if you have to give up on breastfeeding. don't let anyone make you feel guilty. k? the BEST thing we can give our babies and family is our happiness and peace. if that means that you have to give her formula, it's really okay. as a pediatrician friend of mine said once, "formula babies go to harvard too." :)
hang in there, jen. can't wait to see you and your girls soon. they are precious!
yay, i can't wait to meet her! it sounds like you're doing so well!
is it just as sweet the second time around? congrats J! your two girls are going to be best buds!
