Then when she is a little older and more mobile stitching might take a back seat again. That is what is great about it. It is always there waiting for when you have the time and energy. Enjoy every moment with your new baby.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767030382042745357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691534.post-70670236067099497432010-03-20T12:35:57.634-04:002010-03-20T12:35:57.634-04:00She's gorgeous.

She's beautiful!<br /><br />As for the formula vs. breastmilk - try to let go of it. No child walks around with a stamp on their head that says 'I was fed breastmilk!' or 'I was fed formula!'. As long as your daughter continues to thrive and grow, then where she gets her food from is irrelevant. Hold her, love her and give her the nourishment she needs. I have two boys and my oldest got formula because we had feeding difficulties. My youngest was breastfed. They're 10 and 13 now and both healthy and beautiful. <br /><br />As for stitching - take your moments to stitch whenever they're available. I stitched through 2 labours, through 2 infancies, 2 toddler-hoods and now through 1 teenager-hood and another pre-teenager-hood. There's always time for what you love to do - don't feel guilty about taking some time for yourself. You deserve it!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289230352149341542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691534.post-70950881721599162552010-03-15T13:29:27.761-04:002010-03-15T13:29:27.761-04:00She is beautiful!

Depriving yourself of the things you love to do and that relax you will only lead to feeling stressed and frustrated. So grab your little "me moments" wherever you can! They are good for you *and* for the ones you love.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048087977852131769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691534.post-1158072037248309432010-03-15T10:13:39.226-04:002010-03-15T10:13:39.226-04:00Congratulations to you both, your wee one is so lo...Congratulations to you both, your wee one is so lovely! Don't worry about the breast feeding, Maura will be fine. Do stitch whenever you get the time.
