Let's get to the point....we fed Hadleigh every second she was awake for a week....and good news, she gained some weight. The doc was happy to see that. She said we went a little overboard, we need to chill out and feed her normally and supplement a little formula and she will be fine. She said I need to stop beating myself up and that I was not "starving" her and I need to cut back on my pumping and again, a little formula supplementation does not make me a bad mom. I really needed to hear that!!
Bad news, she is still not crawling and some other 9 month milestones so if she is not crawling by 10 month appt., then doc said she needs physical therapy.
Bad news - My grandma has a very rare form of breast cancer.
Good news - They caught it early and she will have a lumpectomy after Thanksgiving. No chemo or radiation. My grandma (age 93) is one tough ole broad and seems to be taking it in stride.
Finally, the fashion. Seriously I love that hat I told ya'll about in Hadleigh's 9 month post. I love it so much that I bought several outfits to go with the hat. I know - I am a genius!! Seriously, every person stops me and asks where I got that hat - Crazy 8 for your information.
Here is daughter #1 (My disobedient daughter is not wearing the hat with the hat with the outfit because she says it is itchy. So I had to get a headband with the rosettes.) Look at that pose!! Can I tell you how much personality this one has??
Here is my obedient daughter with outfit #2 and the hat!!! So stinking cute!!!
Then there is the boy!! I told him how handsome I thought he was and he told me, "No Mama. I am not handsome. I am beautiful.!" (eating orange cheese for those of you wondering what is in his hand.)

Yea for weight gain! And while I know me (the all formula all the time-type of mom) telling you not to beat yourself up doesn't really help much, but don't be so hard on yourself. You are a wonderful mother! :)
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother but it really is amazing how strong-willed the women of that generation are. My grandmother was also diagnosed with breast cancer at 78 (caught early, only lumpectomy with no chemo or radiation) and came out just fine!
Happy early Thanksgiving to you and your family!
