Email to Birth Teacher

(This entry is all crazy but I can't fix it, so sorry).
Well, we're doing great. Getting used to baby Leila has been pretty easy.  I think it's because after 10 years of being a nanny I've gotten the hang of it. Leila is absolutely wonderful, of course.  Everyone is so amazed at what a sweet baby she is.  I think it's because she remembers how hard her birth was on and now she's making it up by being so easy and laid back.  I swear sometimes she looks at me straight in the eyes and I feel she knows.  There's a deepness there that has helped me heal.
I started working in May and she goes with me.  Sean gets up with us and gets her dressed. He's a great dad.  My boss, who works from home, says she never hears her make a sound.  It truly is a blessing because I'm always on the go.
I'm still exclusively breasfeeding...I'm proud to have gone 4 months!  It hasn't been that hard.  I had this really great teacher that told me it was the hardest thing I would do, so I was prepared to tough it out.  It is the sweetest thing we do together.  Last night Sean gave her a bottle for the first time with some of my milk.  He had been asking to do it and really enjoyed it.  She took to it immediately.  She's also been sucking the same two fingers I sucked on as a baby.  I keep fighting it but have kinda given up.  Any suggestions?
Sean has been busy with work, Primerica and getting his presentations ready.  He sometimes gets invited to speak to the youth at church. He enjoys it a lot and it has been a great blessing for us.  We have finished our first bible study book and are now studying Revelation.  We really like spending the beginning of Sabbath in the company of friends and studying the Word.
