It so cannot be Friday already.? I know what the calendar says, and even the programming on TV would lead you to believe it’s a Friday, but I’m not buying it.? No way it can be Friday already because I have gotten barely anything done all week long.? And by Friday I was going to at least have the laundry finished, as well as make some significant design work progress.
And?? I’ve done neither.
*sob*
Recovering from BlogHer is apparently more daunting than I had first thought.? Though I can hardly blame adorable little Liam.? We’re not up at night near as much as we would be with most babies.? But Liam is Special.? In fact, Wednesday night he slept from 11 until 4 in the morning!? And then through from there until 7:30, when I woke up ON MY OWN.? That is, without the sound of grunting and/or crying to wake me.? Do you have any idea how delicious that is??
So he hasn’t been bad at all at night.? But a touch on the needy side during the day.? Of course, I’m more than happy to tend to his ever whim.? Because a) he’s ADORABLE and b) I’ve waited for forever for this baby.? If he wants to be held for 6 hours of the day, he’s gonna get held and that’s all there is to that.? But I haven’t perfected the whole “performing normal duties while holding a baby” thing yet.? So nothing has gotten done.? Soon as he clears 8 pounds I can put him in the Bjorn while I go about my business.? That’ll be nice.
Still with the pumping.? We’ve returned the loaner pump and have now officially rented one.? I would love to try the Medela Symphony, but alas, it’s a Lactina.? Which is good because I adore the Lactina.? Which isn’t to say that I love pumping. I’m getting better about practicing the breastfeeding, but there are times I wonder if we’ll ever get it.? I start to wonder if I’ll be stuck pumping the REST OF MY LIFE. The skin on my fingers is raw from washing pump pieces and bottles all the time.? But on the other hand, I’ve got a freezer stash that would make most new mothers weep.
So yeah.? That’s my life these days.? Holding adorable (albeit grunty) newborns and pumping.? It’s a living.
