I have been thinking a lot about our upcoming family expansion. I have to say, I am just as nervous this time around as I was last. It's some of the same worries: am I going to do okay with breastfeeding? Immunizations?! Sleep??!! Am I even competent enough for all of this???!!! And some new ones: to circumcise or not to circumcise? In any case, reading and research is how I cope with these worries. The question is, what breastfeeding book is the best? I know that new information is always being revealed, so what is the best and most current book to get? I have heard of women who are able to breastfeed just fine the first time around and have problems with their second child. I want to avoid this, and there is little breastfeeding support (that I have found) for Americans in Germany.
Lea's birthday was a blast. We went to the Sea Life Aquarium. It was no Newport or Boston aquarium, but the German's do try ;). I made my first cake from scratch: it was a carrot cake. It turned out. . . dense. Luckily my neighbor made this AMAZING cocoa cake and brought some over, so Lea's childhood is still intact. We spaced the present opening out through 2 days (kind of a play as you go approach) and by the end, she was pretty keen on birthdays. I'll get pictures up as soon as possible.
