Sorry I have been MIA the last month or so. We had a rough month with some health scares. Our baby Cosette wasn't gaining weight or growing so they did some blood work on her. That blood work came back with a couple elevated liver enzymes which could mean all sorts of different liver diseases (hepatitis, biliary diseases, liver damage, etc). So I spent the next two weeks in and out of the lab getting test after test done. Poor baby girl had to get pricked so many times and she was such a champ about it too. After a lot of tears, prayers, and blessing from my dad, everything came back normal. We spent our Thanksgiving holiday in AZ with my entire family, and our doctor called to tell us the good news just a few days before Thanksgiving. We definitely had a LOT to be thankful for this year. It turns out that my milk is just full of protein and not calories so she was a little malnourished. Sadly, I had to stop nursing her and move on to formula. She is a new baby and so happy and content. Poor little thing was just hungry. So sad, but so glad we were able to figure everything out and that nothing serious was wrong with our baby girl.

I feel your pain! We were going through the same thing with our little Reese last month. So glad that Cosette is healthy now! It's heartbreaking to stop nursing, but worth it for their health. BTW- got the cards and love the! Thanks again!
I love your blog!
We had the same issue with our daughter, too. It was so hard to give up nursing, her. But once I stopped, and she started the formula, she was a whole new babe. I'm glad she's doing better!

God is so good!
Glad to hear sweet cosey is well.
