did it again..

Okay - so it still wasn't at am, but I was up walking again this morning.  I had to take a break in the middle of it to get Sam's bfast and lunch.  But I got back on again even though I wanted to sit down and eat the awesome oatmeal that I had just made for him!  Breaking a sweat feels so good sometimes!  I ended up listening to the same song 6 times during my walk.  IT was like the Lord kept calling me back to it...made the walk go faster too:)

Great self-control! I was up around 6:15 and prayed for you to be able to rise and shine and exercise!

About milk stuff. This is all I have found out over the last few years. Pumping extra time to really empty out both sides and then continuing to pump for 5 minutes after they are empty will increase production. Also, getting at least 7 hrs. of sleep is needed. Being at peace and not stessed or anxious a lot really helps. Getting at least 2000 calories/day and most from healthy balanced diet of protein/fats/whole grains and veggies. The last thing is an herb that helped me with Bella for the last 5 months. It is called Fenugreek. You take 3 capsules, 3 times a day. It gave me an extra ounce at feedings. It was a life saver. If Fenugreek doesn't do it alone, you can also take Blessed Thistle with it. The same dosage. It is a lot of pills, but it is an option to talk with your lactation nurse about. I hope that helps.
