I think the fenugreek is definitely in my system. Why do I say that? Oh, no reason really, besides the fact that my bodily fluids (with the exception of saliva… I think! :ack:) have a definite aroma of maple syrup to them. :haha: I haven’t seen a big difference in milk production, but it’s only been 48 hours since I started taking the capsules. I’m trying to be patient. :angelic:
:heart: Alyssa is going to be a month old next Saturday! :wow: My baby is growing so quickly! 
So… According to verybestbaby.com, these are the one month baby milestones:
? Lift her head slightly as her neck muscles strengthen.
? Focus her eyes on your face as she begins to learn how to focus both eyes together.
? Visually follow an object that moves about six inches above her face.
? Blink at a bright light.
? Recognize familiar sounds and voices and respond by turning her head toward them.
? Grip your finger when you stroke her palm?part of her developing grasping reflex.
? Turn toward your finger when you rub a corner of her mouth. This rooting instinct is what helps her to latch onto your nipple for feeding.
? Recognize you by your scent. She can smell your milk if you are breastfeeding.
Alyssa has actually been bobbing her cute little head around since she was about a week and a half old. Now she can hold it up for five seconds or so. The look on her face when she does this is precious. :hearts: She has done all of the other milestones as well. She’s also smiled several times! Most of the smiles were “contentment” smiles (during/after nursing, while being rocked to sleep, etc.), but a few were these big open-mouthed grins. I know she may just be imitating us, but it’s still really, really sweet just the same. :nod:
God, I’m turning into such a mommy. All I seem to babble about is Alyssa. :dammit: I apologize if I’m boring everyone. 
I’ll try to stir up some silly interner drama or something. :haha:
Oh! I know something I can talk about:
Pre-pregnancy weight: 299lbs.
October 27th: 301lbs.
November 3rd: 285lbs.
November 10th: 274lbs.
Now: I’m not sure, but I know it’s less than 274lbs. because that’s what I was in October of 2003, and at that point I couldn’t quite fit into the khaki pants I’m wearing tonight. YAY! :bewbies:
