well, miracle of miracles: abigail is now nursing exclusively! she's had 2 bottles in the past 3 days and those are only because we were in the car and i couldn't nurse her while the car was in motion! i decided to take a whirlwind, last minute trip to charlotte for the weekend. it was great!!! we spent time with marsha and michael and i spent the afternoon with wendy and jamie in their new apartment. it was great to see them and i can't wait for their babies to come! well, they need to wait at least 3 more weeks...but then i can't wait to see them!!!

okay, back to the nursing bit. while i'm absolutely ecstatic about her nursing, i am also in an incredible amount of pain. which i know should not be the case. in fact, i'm hurting so much right now that i'm sitting on the bed with a heating pad across my chest while i'm typing just for some pain relief! not good!!! so i am going to a "mommy and me" lactation class tomorrow to see if i can get this pain under control! but SHE'S NURSING!! YAHOO!!!!!
