There are many things I would love to write as there are many thoughts going around in my head. It has been a busier week than usual, but a good week. I am very thankful it is Friday and hoping for a few breaks in the rain tomorrow!
I have begun the weaning process with Cap. When I say " I have begun", I mean Cap has begun and I am now giving in to his leading. Breastfeeding came very easy for me, thank goodness. I know sometimes it can be a hard start for some moms. Cap came out a good latcher but just not a big eater. Lately, he wants very little to do with tata's. In the past, he would sometimes go through spurts of not eating very well and I would pump away not wanting my supply to go down for when he got hungry. I quit pumping this past month when he would have those low eating days.
Today is day 2 of dropping our #3 feeding for the day, which is in the afternoon. So now we are only nursing 3 times a day and really I could drop #2 pretty easily. He just has no interest. Most of the time he only eats a few minutes during a feeding. Physically, I cannot drop it cold turkey. I hurt bad enough going 7 hours in between the second feeding and the last feeding yesterday.
I feel like this is a big deal though. I could literally be away from midmorning till 6:30 when it is time for Cap to go to bed. Crazy!!! Like away and I don't have to pump. I just assumed I would be nursing for much longer even though it hasn't been my favorite activity. Even though it hasn't been my favorite, it will still be a little sad that his nursing stage is over. But we are on to bigger things now like peanut butter sandwiches!!!
We printed all our pictures from 2011 last weekend. I started putting them in albums today during nap times. Wow! This might take awhile. It has been fun looking at pictures of before Cap and when he was first born. There is nothing that compares to those first few weeks with your new baby and your new chapter in your life. I must say, I love where we are today. I feel much more well rested!!!! Ha!
Cap stands the entire time he is in the bath.
I don't know why he is crying??
Cute crying pic though!
His little boat got him in a better mood.
I LOVE this picture!
He is too precious.
