Christopher Kekoa ka 'Ahu 'ula-O-Kalani nui Mehameha Mitchell was born on Sunday November 4th at 1:27pm! He weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 20.5in long. He is my perfect little boy. It is so amazing I have never seen a more sweet little child then Kekoa. He never cries which I know will change but for the time being he is perfect. He sleeps about 22 hours a day which I know is insane. We have to set an alarm to wake him for night time feedings. Because he was born by c-section my milk is having problems coming in so right now we are having problems latching him and having to suppliment with formula and pumping. I feel like I pump all the time just for him to drain it. It is a good cause though. My sweet angel is well worth the cause.

4 months old!! I can't believe it is already spring time. My little boy is growing so fast. As for breastfeeding, we beat the odds. He is now only on breastmilk with two bottles a day at day care. It is such a wonderful feeling to accomplish this feat. It was just a weak sucker at the beginning and needed time to grow. And that he is doing. He is trying to sit up and stand! We are going to his check up on Friday but last time I weighed him he is was 15lbs and 27in long. WOW! My big boy. I love him to death. Oh and he is still the sweet little angel. Only cries when he is hungry, tired or hurting. We all just got over the flu and poor little guy tried his hardest to be happy during it. We survived.

8Months Old! Time is flying so fast. I'm on here everyday but I never have time to update my profile. It's usually jump on and off. HAHA! So let's see. What has been going on? Christopher Kekoa turns 8months on the 4th of July. He is cruising like a pro and starting to let go of the furniture. He has two teeth and cutting the third. He's still an angel. He loves everyone and brightens all our lives. Ok, so babies think but what do they think about? With Kekoa it's weird. You look into his eyes and it seems like there is much more going on then a lot of babies his age. It's awesome watching him figure things out. We have one smart cookie on our hands. He is now over 20lbs now and just moved to his big boy seat. We bought the Britax Boulevard. It's a beast but it is the safest on the market right now and I love it! As for our biggest challenge, it's no more! We are still breastfeeding and going strong! He is eating solids like a pro although he doesn't have a big belly yet. He's saving room for his teen years. I'm still working but I am paying down debt and hopefully a little while after we buy a house I can quit. YAY! That is my #1 goal. I want to be a stay at home Mommy.....

This is Joe and I on our wedding day and our wedding party! The center lady in red was 8months pregnant with my nephew. The other two munchkins are mine three year old niece and nephew. How cute!

He is 7cm (2.8in.) long and has a heart beat of 168. And this is my three month belly!! Baby Mitchell at 11.5 weeksy shot.

Above are two of my 20week pictures. We are having a boy!! The photos are his profile and his little baby parts. Ahhh how cute! His weight is 13oz. and his heartbeat is 145bpm.

So you all asked...Here is my belly at 20weeks 2 days.

I finally took a 26week belly photo. Getting bigger!!

4D ultra sound at almost 29 weeks! I have so many pictures (60) it was so hard to choose ones to put up on the site but above is the first photo they took, before we woke him up. Next to it is a picture of him smiling after he woke up.

These two pictures are of Kekoa sucking his thump and yawning.

 Awwww, this is such a sweet picture. It actually brought tears to my eyes, Kekoa was such a precious newborn!!!


littlecavalier - Thursday, 5 June
 Oh my gosh, what a ham!!!! He is adorable Bri!

HAPPY 7 MONTHS KEKOA!!! Can you believe how fast they're growing?? The breastfeeding is still the same, but I'm going to hang in there. Don't want to give up completely just yet. Maybe I can still nurse him in the AM when he wakes up and nights when I'm home...Fri-Mon, I can nurse him before bed. That's better than nothing right?

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks so much for the comment. I am feeling a bit more confident now. How long from the start of taking the fenugreek pills did you see a difference. I only have 2 weeks before I go back to work and I'm trying not to freak out about "time" but it is not helping.

Hi Bri,

Question.... how can you tell your milk is bad from the freezer? I've been saving mine as well and just wondered. Thanks in advance


starby - Monday, 2 June
Thanks Bri for the comments :) Its good to hear stories like yours, I'll definately keep on trying with my little one, I think she'll pick it up sooner or later, I just have to keep myself from getting frustrated...


agummybear - Saturday, 31 May
Thanks for sharing your story with me and for your kind supportive words. My son latches on great since day one and everything is perfect except for my supply which is what is so frustrating. I started taking Fenugreek 2 caps 3x a day. Also, I pump every 2-3 hours but only get about an ounce or so total. I'm having a beer a day, eating oatmeal and drinking hot chocolate (all of that is supposed to help) I'm going to give it 4-6 weeks. Hopefully it'll get better. Thanks again...

Have you tried homeopathic teething powder or tablets? I use Ashton and Parsons Infant's Powder (it's chamomile). It works wonders. My baby loves it and he calms right down. It's a miracle.I live in the UK though not sure if you can get it in the States but I heard that Hyland's Homeopathic Teething tablets are great. (they are chamomile too)

Bri,
How did you know that your son was lactose intolerant? My baby is very gassy. He doesn't spit up much and his gas often doesn't bother him. However, he constantly passes gas. Thanks for your help!


nancy26 - Thursday, 29 May
hey hon :) just wanted to thank you for your messages in BF :) had a good laugh! definitely counting the days... but also very nervous...! Can't wait to meet the lil man... that said, this waiting 3 weeks thing is going to kill me... I can't drive (short legs and big belly = don't fit!), so am housebound, since I can't walk very far... I think the cabin fever will kill me first LOL. at least once he's here, I can walk the neighbourhood flat :) lol


littlecavalier - Thursday, 29 May
Way to stick your foot in your mouth :-). Some people are very sensitive about breastfeeding/ not breastfeeding etc. It's such a touchy subject I guess because some people do chose their freedom over their babies best interests and then want to make a million different excuses for it and call it something else and then get mad when someone calls them on it. I had a friend that said it was just too time consuming and that I shoudn't let anyone tell me that breastmilk is better (this is when I was still pregnant) because formula is just fine. It just made me sad that she was so clueless and that her little baby wasn't going to get the best nutrition possible. I feel like we are the voice of those little babies :-) and I sense that you feel the same way. I just don't understand how any Mother can be selfish with their time and energy as far as a newborn is concerned. I think it also upsets us when Mom's who have it easy take it for granted and quit doing it when we fought so hard to get it to work for us and to get it right. I love that you're as passionate as I am, so anytime you want to complain about your friend please message me! Hope you are having a great week! Oh and then the WIC comment and backlash on top of it, you really are having a bad day


cj - Thursday, 29 May
By the way - great name for the baby!! I love it - he is too cute! Sounds like you have a good baby, too. I'm scared to have another because she's just a dream - lol


cj - Thursday, 29 May
hey Bri - I responded to your response - lol. In a nutshell - no caffeine, it's liquid. I put the ingredients up for you to see. Take care

so is peeling a symptom of thrush? im a newbie to breastfeeding and haave only a small idea of what thrush is


ily - Wednesday, 28 May
Thanks for your reply. I just pray I can continue once I return to work. I hope I can pump enough for her to stay on breastmilk for at least 6 months. I just know I will miss actually breastfeeding. That is why I was hoping she would go more time in between feedings so I didn't miss out on that many. I guess that sounds a bit selfish but I will miss her and especially breastfeeding her. Guess we will see how it goes. I am like you, I need my 8 hours of sleep... maybe sometime soon. Take care and thanks again!


karina - Wednesday, 28 May
hi! i read ur comment about the weight... is it true? do u really hold on to the last 5 to 10 pounds? because i lost 23 pounds in the first 2 weeks but i have 7 more to go, i am not eating anything with dairy 'cause they upset her (that includes chocolate) and i haven't be able to lose any more...


ily - Wednesday, 28 May
How often do babies breastfeed? My baby is 11 weeks and she eats about every 2 hours. Does this sound right? Do they go longer in between feedings as they grow older? I really appreciate your input. Thanks!


chanel - Wednesday, 28 May
yeah the older she gets the more distracted she gets like anything or anybody can make her turn real fast but she gets mad when i put it away ....then i like to sleep without a top on somoetimes and she will just go for it even if i sleep w/o a bra but a top she will pull it right out plus i get aggitated real fast when it's really hot out and now with her turning one in a few weeks i'm a just take her off most people don't last this long at all so i'm really proud of myself
