yet another milestone!



this may look like just a can of formula to the untrained eye. to those of us "in the know" it has another name-liquid gold. when marin was about 2 weeks old and not doing so well breastfeeding the doctor noticed some blood in her stool. diagnosis-milk protein sensitivity. prescription-very expensive formula for at least a year. these little bitty cans cost us $25 each-and they only lasted for about 5 days. fortunately, we found some good deals on ebay throughout the year. obviously we would pay whatever we needed to help marin but it was a bit of an expense. so about a month ago we started the weaning process. each week we gave her more milk and less formula until february 14, 2009. on that day we finished this last can of formula and now marin is totally on milk! and doing fine! praise God! we are very grateful for her good health and for the pay raise. :)
