It's not where you start

We've all survived the weekend of dance recitals! The theater we've had the show in over the last couple of years is too small for one, so it was expanded to two shows (Saturday afternoon and Sunday night). I was away from Mina for the most time over a weekend, and Brian spent the most 1x1 time with her. I think we all did well with it. It was ( Read more... )

She's 15.6 pounds now, woah! That puts her in the 88th percentile (she was born in the 8th).

Wow!

When LR was brought in for his 6 month, we also got the "he doesn't need that bottle in the middle of the night," instruction. Erik & I were all, "But how will he know how to go back to sleep?" which translated to, "But when do we get to sleep?"

They said that the 1 feeding after her first big sleep was reasonable/necessary. Basically, she should go around 6 hours after her bedtime feeding before eating again, and then not have food until her morning feeding (she's usually up around 6 or 7 and wants to eat about a half hour after that ( ... )

We're staying in Lincoln. Brian and I have stayed here before (individual cottages with a screened in porch, right on the Pemi river). The last time we were there I had brought a book about adjusting to life with a baby, and now we'll be living it!

We do have a backpack/carrier thing that also stands up on its own like a chair that we registered for (some 501st friends pooled their resources and got it for us). It was from REI and we thought would be perfect for hikes and conventions. :)

i can totally relate to the mourning thing. my baby is on nursing strike so i don't get to breast feed her at all these days, although i am still pumping 3x/day :(

Thanks! I've decided for now to keep going. It's working and we enjoy it. I'll bring my pump to FL if need be.
