The breastmilk is working and the pediatrician's office can't believe it!

2-25-01: Jessica had her third weight check with the doctor and was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and gained all the weight with breastmilk. The nurse reconfirmed that she was not given formula supplements to increase her weight so substantially and said that her weight gain was "impressive." Tuesday after breastfeeding club, Jessica, Mommy and Grandma had their first lunch out at the Steelhead Brewing Company. Jessica slept through the entire meal. Mommy and Jessica worked on getting back to breastfeeding and slowly added time on the breast each day, starting with once on each side each day. Wednesday, Mommy had the most comfortable breastfeeding session ever and was very excited that she and Jessica had turned a corner. Grandma and Mommy went to the lactation consultant on Thursday for an assessment of the breastfeeding technique and then met Daddy and Uncle Matt Albright for a tour of E.Piphany and lunch at an Indian restaurant called Bombay Garden. By Saturday, Mommy had nipple pain again and realized that the whole time, she and Jessica had thrush! We did some serious internet research on what to do for thrush and started attacking it full force on Saturday. Jessica started showering with Mommy instead of taking baths because it is so much easier.
