our saturday

highlights from our classes
...breastfeeding is instinctual
...if you put baby on your chest, skin to skin, he'll root around until his cheek finds nipple and latch on--even right out of the womb! (it looked SO EASY in the video, but i KNOW it won't be like that in real life)
...if it hurts to breastfeed, you're doing it wrong
...introduce expressed milk at 4 weeks! (which seems a little soon, but i'm no lactation consultant)
...if baby lays on mom's chest skin to skin, mom's body temperature will automatically adjust to whatever temperature baby needs--so if baby's cold, mom's body temperature will go up to warm baby
...
i'm sure i learned a whole lot more, but those are the things that are sticking out in my mind now.

then...
highlights from date night
...delicious udon and the fabulous frank roll (no sesame seeds, no asparagus) from tokyo sushi
...going to the indian film festival to see "amal." it was a GREAT MOVIE, but i am partial to indian movies and the indian culture in general. you should check it out! it's a well-filmed (and produced) movie AND a GREAT STORY! :)
