Breastfeeding Update

Baby G and I have successfully made it 10 months so far!

I remember when I was pregnant, and I was so very excited to breastfeed. I read every breastfeeding article I could find, I watched videos of the perfect latch, & I imagined what it would be like once he was finally in my arms, and I could nurse him for real. When I first got to hold him in the recovery room, I was beyond excited (and terrified). "What if he couldn't latch? What if he couldn't get the milk out? What if they gave him a bottle and sabotaged my efforts?" I held him for about 10 seconds before I excitedly asked the nurse if we could do skin to skin (because "that's a great way to start off the breastfeeding relationship!"), and soon I was helping him latch for the first time. Perfectly.

I originally wanted to breastfeed until age 2, but before we even hit our 6 month mark, I had decided I was cool with letting him self wean. Now, at 10 months, that's still my resolve. I love our breastfeeding bond!

That's the end of my little update then. :)

Peace, Love. & Happiness

Once again...*sigh*

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

I have been the absolute worst at keeping up this blog. Luckily I don't have many followers yet, but I hate to disappoint anyone who does take the time to check for new updates every once in a while.

So here's a quick update:

Baby G is 10 months old! He has 7 teeth, stands on his own, dances (a little bit), and understands a LOT. He's such a big boy, it's crazy! I can't believe he will be 1 in less than 2 months. Where has the time gone? :( 

So on the subject of his birthday, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for it. My dad suggested we go out to California for his birthday weekend, since he's working out there. I think that's a fun idea. And for the AZ friends/family, I'm thinking of either renting out the club house here at our apartment complex, OR maybe having it at my mom and dads. I'm leaning towards my mom and dads place because its bigger and there is a pool. And it's free. Lol! Today I went to set up Baby G's birthday wish list on Amazon. I put some higher priced toys in there that I plan to buy for him, and a lot of lower priced toys for family and friends to pick from or use as examples or whatever they choose to do.

I forgot to post about Mommycon too! We went in April, and it was a so much fun! Unfortunately I had a migraine thy day, but it was nice to see so many other attached parents! I even made a few friends and got some numbers for play dates. I definitely recommend that anyone who's even a little interested in a crunchy/ap type lifestyle check it out! :)

Anywho, I'll be posting again today or tomorrow. I've got some other updates to share! :)

Peace, love, and happiness
