The Good: Matthew’s 9 month well-baby visit went, er, well. He’s 26 lbs. 6.9 oz., 29.75 inches, and his head circumference is 19 inches. Chunkalunk.

The Bad (which is also good in some ways): we will definitely start supplementing tomorrow. I only managed 5 ounces today, and that is after this weekend’s crazy extra pumping and gorging on oatmeal (I can’t take a lot of the regular galactagogues because of my diabetes). The good in this is that the pediatrician today recommended that we try soy formula first to see how Matthew does with it - and if he does well, we’ll start reintroducing dairy into my diet again. The thought of cheese right now is more than I can bear.

The Ugly: A mom was asked to leave a Ronald McDonald House because she was breastfeeding. The stupidity of others never ceases to amaze me.

My heart goes out to the Virginia Tech community today. I won’t link, because it’s all over the internet. I am a proud James Madison University alumna; for a variety of reasons, this story is really hitting close to home. Much love to the Hokies.
