So Proud

I can't even say enough how proud I am of my baby girl, Kaitlyn. She has had an infection with high fevers and chills and has not missed one feeding with Brayden. She is so strong. He went to the Dr. the other day and he has gained all of his weight back that he lost (8 oz.), and that was in 3 days at home. The Dr. was surprised since he is being breastfed. This is all while she was sick. She's feeling much better now, although not 100%. She's young and single, but I could not imagine anyone being a better mother than her to this lucky little boy. And yes, I have told her every day how proud I am of her. I also told her that I would have given up on the breastfeeding way before now. It has not been easy and she has cried a few times. Anyone who has done it can understand. He is the best baby for her too. He is very content. I know he knows how loved he is.

His Daddy has been here a couple of times, although for very short visits. Kaitlyn will set him straight on that. She wants him to know who his Daddy is. That's very important to her. Even though they will never be together she wants a good relationship for Brayden's sake. She wants him to know his Daddy's voice.

His Gramma has been here too. She is so over the moon for him too. She's a good Gramma. His Uncle Cipriano has been here too, longer than his Daddy.

She's so young in some ways, but so old in other ways. I always thought Kaitlyn was on old soul. She's obviously made some bad decisions, but inside there is this woman that sees things others her age don't. Heck, she sees things some full fledged adults don't see. She knows what she wants. She always has, and she's determined to get it. I am so proud of her!
