I think you'll agree this is a very Edwards way to document:
Ace = 1 = one month.
Crafty, no?

One Month Photo
We were trying to figure out how to take the "monthly" photo in a truly Edwards way. We'll be taking a photo on the 22nd of each month to see how Robbie grows.

Ace = 1 = one month.
Crafty, no?

Baborexic
*Warning to male friends and relatives, this post may include the word boobs*
So... mother's intuition isn't all that wrong.
I just felt like our "little peanut" was still pretty peanuty.
We had Robbie's one month appointment today, and my boob-fears were realized.
He's not gaining weight like he's supposed to, and my body just simply isn't making enough milk to keep him on track to grow.
Topping the scales at 8 pounds now... he was supposed to be closer to 8.5 by this appointment. So in comes the dreaded F word.
The formula.
We've been using it. I don't have a problem with supplementing with it. But now we basically need to quadruple what we had been giving him.
Motherhood doubts? I have them.
Have I been starving our poor baby over the last four weeks? Should I be waking him every 2 hours to eat? Is he laying there hungry thinking, "why won't this woman give me more damn food!"
Will our kid be the slow and sick one because he didn't get the goodies he needed through exclusive BFing?
This is my only job right now. To feed a baby. And I can't even do that right.
Poor Baborexic.

Friends in High Places
Today Robbie was lucky enough to meet Senator Gillibrand on an outing with Mom.
Senator Gillibrand is by far one of my favorite Members. She comes from a family with a long line of political involvement, and I've followed her career since she arrived in DC. When Secretary Clinton resigned to take her position at State, Senator Gillibrand was appointed to her position. Smart pick!
She's a working mom with two little ones of her own...
She's smart as hell and verbal on so every issue that I've spoken with her on...
... and for Robbie's sake, she's the Senate originator of legislation to promote a tax credit for infertility treatments.
This is the legislation the RESOLVE organization was pushing back on their Hill day in the spring, and I was able to thank her for her leadership on the effort.
We need more Moms in Congress!
