Family Photo

I just thought that I would share this picture. It was taken last Saturday, and we were all dressed up to go to my cousin Keith's wedding.

Valentine's Day



I know this post is labeled valentine's day, but I just have to show off my girl a litttle. At least these pictures were taken on valentine's day! The first one is Isabella in her little heart bikini (it is still way to big, but it will be really cute in the summer time). The second and third pictures were taken by Tony's mom while we were at dinner last night, and I just had to show them off because her smile is just too cute. Tony and I went out to dinner at Assunta's (a little italian restaurant) and we had to wait a bit, but the food was really good!! After dinner was over we rushed home because I just missed Isabella so much (and I was afraid that my chest was going to explode and spew breast milk all over everyone). My life is so unromantic!!
I decided that switching Isabella over to formula is the best choice for us. I have been slowly weaning her off of the breast milk. It has been a power struggle this week because my girl doesn't like the bottle very much, but I am winning the battle. I was just so stressed all of the time, and this past weekend we were gone all weekend, and it was just so stressful to me. I got to thinking that I am this stressed and I haven't even started back at work yet, it can only get worse once I go back to work. Also, I know that breast feeding is the best, but how good is it for her really if I am stressed all of the time. I thought that if I was going to switch her over to formula, that now is the best time before I send her to daycare. I don't want to put her in a new environment, and take the breast away from her at the same time. I started weaning her on monday, and I already feel much less stressed out. I think I made the right decision for us.
