All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come?

    HAHAHA-- Ahhh, pumping... It's sad when you look at how hard you work and for how many months you prepared and how fast it goes... How long are you going out of town for?

    We are going out of town for 2 days. I am pumping also to keep up with my supply. I got low when he started sleeping six hours at a time and I didn't pump. Breastfeeding didn't come as easy as I thought it would!

    Wow! did you fly? If so how did you carry on all that milk? I don't think I will get that much. When I pump and he doesn't nurse I don't get much. We have been struggling with a low milk supply.

Leaving with a guilty conscious

There is n nothing like telling someone (a complete stranger) that you are about to be done with breastfeeding (I am telling them because I needed to know if I could be on this diet while breastfeeding) and them saying “Why stop, why not go for at least 6 months?” Well because just maybe there is more to the story than me just saying, “Hey, I’m no longer going to breastfeed!” Yes, there is defiantly more to the story and anyone who has read my blog knows the story! Latching problems, breast shields, weight loss, taking over an hour to eat and then still hungry, low milk supply and mastitis twice! I will admit that even through all those challenges I still very much enjoyed the bonding experience and knowing that I was giving Wyatt the absolute best. Wyatt has been sleeping through the night for some time, and since then I have been getting up every four hours to pump to try to keep up my milk supply. It has recently come to my attention that even that is not working. Now when I nurse h...

One of his favorite words

"No, I don't wanna sing!" - when I have told him we will not sing before bed because he didn't listen. "No, I don't wanna read!"- when I have said that we will not be reading a book because he threw a fit. "No, I don't want cover!" - when I covered him up and kissed him goodnight "No, you no say no to me!"- when we tell him no to something he wants "No, I don't wanna play!" - when I told him that his friends are coming and he better take a good nap if he wants to play! He spent an hour last night in and out of time out. Crying and pleading with us to talk to him and let him out, to hug him and for us to be happy. Yes, he asks us if we are happy, when clearly he knows we are upset. If he knows that we aren't happy he tries to make us happy. The smallest thing set him off last night, it was as simple as his new shoes not fitting and us saying that we had to take them back. He was mad because he wanted to wear...
