Another day, another clogger (x's two)

About two weeks ago I got a clogged milk duct. Not fun. It hurt so bad and I couldn't sleep all night. I went to the doc and she said it wasn't infected yet, just a clog. She told me how to take care of it and after a lot of nursing, pumping, heating, massaging and praying it unclogged. Two days later my little hero, Wes sucked that baby right out while we were both eating breakfast.
Thankful that was behind us, life went back to normal.

Then, last night I was a bit sore and thought that I might be getting another one so I nursed Wes on that side twice in a row to try and prevent it. Sure enough during the night I woke up with not one clog but two! One in the right plus another one in the left. Sucks! Thankfully I knew what I was doing this time and started nursing, pumping, heating, massaging and praying right away. With Wesley's help we got one unclogged during the middle of the night and the other one unclogged right before church this morning. Wes is so good at what he does. He's mommy's little hero. No clog stands a chance against him!

First bath. We thought he would cry but he loved it. He always loves bath time!

Mr. Wesley Alexander

Sweet Wes came into our lives 10 days late on Aug 7th. He was 7 lbs & 14 ozs and 20 inches long. He had a mean ol' cone head. Everyday has been a wonderful new adventure with him. He is a very good baby. He loves his Mommy and Papa and anyone else that wants to love him. He loves to eat, cuddle, smile, laugh, and play. He likes getting his diaper changed because he gets a butt rub and gets to look out the window. He also likes getting his baths and going outside. He is really strong. He started to roll all the way over his first week and he can hold his head up like a pro.

We are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for all of our blessing and for sending Wes to be a part of our family.
