Oh my August. When did that happen?!?? It has officially been over a year since I had a period. In just about 10 days it'll be a year since little Sir was a cluster of cells splitting away. So crazy.
He's sleeping on my lap now. Being so big. He'll be 4 months old two weeks from today. 4 months already. That was my original breastfeeding goal. I was worried about my supply, but I'm pretty sure it'll be ok. Even if it drops a lot, I have about 500oz stores in the freezer. I should be able to get some when I pump around 10. Then maybe I can pump again at the end of lunch? I don't know.
He'll be starting solids all too soon. I still want to wait until he's at least 6 months. Then we're going to start with smashed bananas with some booby milk mixed in. I'll be so sad when I have to start dumping poop into the toilet. Cloth diapers are so easy when it's a breastmilk poop.
So, I have 11 days of vacation left. I can't believe it's already gone. I can't believe I thought 4 months was big enough to leave. He's not! He's still so little and I wish I could just stay home and be his mama. If Aaron made $10k more a year, I could. But it's ok. I'll take the extra $30k I make and pay down some debt. My credit cards, couch, an medical bills should be paid off by Christmas for sure. Hopefully before. Then I'm going to save up about $3000 so that we can FINALLY replace the gross parquet. I found the bamboo I want and it'll be about $3000 to do the two hallways, living room, and dining room. The other two bedroom will get the same bamboo as Maxton's room. The told in the kitchen isn't offensive, so then we'll just put new tile in over the vinyl in the bathrooms. We've also been throwing around the idea of adding on a master suite. That way we can just hang out in this house a few more years. Because as it stands now, this house will not hold another kid and all of our stuff. It's only 1300 sqft and not planned out well. We also want to put a pool in.
Not going to spend a lot on Christmas again this year.
Not going to eat out a lot anymore. I haven't had fast food since May. The thought of it actually kind of makes me sick. I drove to take Aaron some stuff today and passed chick fil a and I said I haven't had that since at least march. I'm going to have it for lunch. But on the way out I thought it sounded greasy and gross. So I went to Larry's and got a yummy sub instead. I know that they get all their food from reliable sources because their big campaign is eat clean now and they'll give you a list of where they got their food.
