The Time Change

     I'm back home in Atlanta as a first time mom with my little girl Ella. Alaska has it's very own time zone and it varies by four hours to the Eastern Time Zone. The time change has been difficult on Ella, but she is dealing with it as only a baby can. The major change that has occurred is in our relationship. She now has a lack of interest in wanting to nurse. This time change and the change in environment has caused her to begin weaning. Her desire to cuddle has increased and I am thankful for this positive increase. I'm counting that as a blessing. I'm also very thankful for being able to nurse her for 5.5 months even though I never had a full supply. She was able to benefit from me as long as she wanted too. I am thankful for those five and a half months. Nursing my child was one thing I really wanted to do, along with a natural birth,  even before I became pregnant. I pray that we have an easier time with it our next go around. If not, I am prepared to tackle all the issues again and have faith in everything I have learned in such a short time. I've modified my diet and have detoxed several times and I'll continue to read and learn when ever I can. We have experienced many changes in a short amount of time but our relationship continues to grow.
