Well after some sleepless nights and sore boobies later, we are getting on to a good track.
I needed the use of a nipple shield so the little princess would not strip my nipples. And we still are supplementing with formula when she is really hungry and I have nothing left to give. That tends to be at night when she is really hungry. There was a 4 day stretch in which she would feed from 12 till almost 4 in the morning non-stop getting so much. But she never puked it up and her pee and poop is right on track so we must just have a healthy eater. We will find out tomorrow at the docs.
But last night we had an excellent night! We slept from 10:30 - 1:15, 2:45 - 5:00 and 6:30 - 9 with her feeding in between for an hour and sleeping on me for a half hour. I hope this keeps up.
I am in paperwork hell trying to figure out my EI benefits, my top up from work and her ss number, health card and birth certificate. What a nightmare.
But she is so worth it. I still look at her and I pinch myself. This girl is a true gift from God.

Just FYI, you can apply for her SIN and birth certificate online at the government of Canada's website. It only takes 10 minutes or so to fill everything out and they give you the option to apply for both at the same time so you don't have to type everything in twice.
I'm glad everything is getting better! Good for you for keeping up the breastfeeding even with stripped nipples. OUCH!
Hey Jenn, quick question for you. Were you thinking about selling your doppler? If so, I'd be interested in buying it. If not, not big deal.
Ashley I actually sold it when I hit 32 weeks, sorry.
Michelle - we had to fill out the birth certificate through a sask website and our gov office told us we needed the birth certificate first before we got the sin.
Any new pics to share? Pretty please with a cherry on top? :-)
