One thing is for sure...

Linden has amazing kidneys and bladder! He pees so great that no diaper can hold it in :( I can't believe how much laundry we have due to urine! He is still a pretty small little guy, we just got back to our birth weight of 7 pounds - which is fine with me! I want him as little as possible for as long as possible. Plenty of time to grow up later! 
It's been almost a month and the lack of sleep is really starting to get to Jasin and I. Kelty looks a little depressed by the lack of activity she gets now, but she is very protective of Linden. We found out this week that Linden most likely has an allergy to milk protein, which means this breastfeeding momma has to go dairy free or start using a very expensive formula. Linden and I worked very hard to get breastfeeding so I am not going to quit now! That just means I can't have any dairy at all! And possibly no soy either. No milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, etc! Miserable! Hopefully his allergy will be grown out of by a year. If anyone has any suggestions for dairy substitutes that are yummy and affordable - send them to me please! I bought some margarine and it was gross. I bought almond milk and it gave me a tummy ache. I drink Soy and that works so far but I would like more options. 
Here is a sneak peek from Linden's baby photos that were taken last week. I'm a proud mommy!
