Latch & Load

As we come into the final lap of Squishy's race to join our wolfpack, things are coming together nicely...the nursery is essentially finished. We'll be adding some custom artwork when the Squish arrives, but all the furniture and major gear (stroller, car seat and pack & play) are ready and in place.

As Momma G mentioned, we learned all about proper latch technique, feeding cues, timelines and the overall feeding process at our breastfeeding class earlier in the week. I encouraged Gena to take good notes, mainly so Squishy could enjoy his/her first days on earth on a full stomach. I don’t know about you guys, but there are very few amazing moments in my life that haven’t involved food and/or haven’t been enjoyed on a full stomach of said food :)

And as Mommy B so eloquently put it, ensuring Momma G is able to produce sufficient resources for Squishy during milk production mode while still protecting her future “baby production mode” capabilities, is definitely an important consideration for proper feeding technique as well. Dad E knows what I’m talkin’ bout’ ;) !!!

Speaking of the Meibers clan…Mommy B “cook my eggs on a stove please”, Dad E “if you don’t have Budweiser I’ll take a Millwuh”, Baby Alli “My baby blues put Sinatra’s to shame” and Scar “I don’t even know you and I love you” Little are coming up for the weekend to join in the festivities at the first ever Charlotte couples baby shower (ok, maybe not the first ever); hosted by our good friends Tanya “I bleed garnet & gold, FSU for life” and her husband Ryan “I love the Patriots and my cooking makes your mom look like the amateur she is” Gaspar. It’s gonna be an awesome weekend people :) !!!
