I was texting with my cousin all night bc she couldn’t sleep either and I was telling her how peaceful I felt looking at the tree. She said it was hygge( Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah) is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cosy, charming or special.) it totally felt like the perfect word to describe the peaceful feeling.

cagoldi, I think I'm going right to formula with this baby. I haven't fully decided, but I didn't have luck with C or L and it caused me so much stress and anxiety. I also kinda think that for the most part, you have to be really dedicated to making it work and I'm...not. The benefits just don't outweigh the negatives for me. This is kind of what I'm thinking. I might have some guilt over not even trying but there's a real risk of me getting abscesses so bad after only a few weeks that my milk ducts would have to be surgically removed. Then I'd be trying to recover from surgery while caring for a newborn. Pete is pretty set against it, he thinks the risk to my health is not even close to worth it.

Well that sounds absolutely horrid. I have zero excuse. I have a bit of guilt, thinking I should try it and maybe it'll just be easy and great. The likelihood of that is very slim though.

You don't need an excuse! The Fed Is Best Foundation has a lot of great encouragement and resources. You should check out their FB page.

I'm so sorry, melaniesue. Sitting by the lights does sound rather peaceful and I'm glad you've been in touch with your cousin. It's good to be together even when you can't actually BE TOGETHER during these times. I'm sorry, klong11. Holidays can be such a hard time.
