Well today is day 2 of weaning. We've had 2 nap times and 2 bedtimes without nursing. Although she woke up last night and was super upset about the lack of booby.
Aside from the obvious bittersweet feelings that I'm having, it was really hard not to just give her what she wanted! Especially at 1:30 in the morning! I don't know how to console a baby in the middle of the night without breastfeeding! So this is really a learning experience for me too.
Of course Matt is super supportive and reminds me that I'm doing a great job and we'll get through this with flying colors, just like everything else. It really helped me put things in perspective. This is temporary and will be over soon enough!
It's taken 2 days, but I'm finally engorged and a little uncomfortable. It really just lets me know, she really wasn't even nursing that much anyway, so it was time. I imagine by tomorrow or the next day, it will be gone all together.

sunday morning
and i'm torn as to whether I should watch football or go to the craft store. luckily the Seahawks dont play until 1pm, so in all actuality, I could do both.... But considering Matt, Annika and I are still in our pj's, it might be more realitic to just sucumb to staying home. Maybe I'll order pizza too. LOL

It's time again...
To start blogging!
Of course I really ought to blog more often anyways, but having a big (possibly) life changing occasion helps spur me into action!
Now that Annika is just over a year old, Matt and I have decided to try to get pregnant again! A couple weeks ago, we had an appointment with Dr. Robins for a consultation to get some detailed information and of course pricing (as most of you know, IVF is no cheap thing and cost is definitely of importance). To our surprise he told us we have 3 frozen embryos, not 2 like we've thought this whole time! And not only that, but he would suggest we use all 3 when we decide to do the FET (frozen embryo transfer). "It's time for twins anyways, right?" he says to us. LOL Matt and I about fell off our chairs! Well Matt almost did. I almost fell off the exam table. ;)
So we were thinking of either doing the November or January cycle. November would give us a due date of July 2011, and the kids would be exactly 2 years apart. I took it as perfect timing, so November it is!
It is all moving so quickly! I start injections on October 10th and then ultrasounds start and come mid November, they'll do the transfer and hopefully GOD willing, we'll get pregnant!
We have been so blessed with such an amazing little girl and we are so hopeful that we can have another child!

The funniest girl
Annika has grown so much! She is 6 1/2 months now and it seems like she has especially rocketed since I have been home. She is and has been sitting up on her own since bout 5 months. In the last month her balance has really been spectacular! Just about the time I shoot my arms out to catch her, she recovers on her own and was able to reach the toy she was going for that, to me, seemed out of her reach.
She is pulling herself up from laying to sitting, and is quite quickly working on pulling herself from sitting to standing. She's not quite crawling yet. But getting there fast! She has this caterpillar like movement that she does all over the family room floor.
It's amazing! This cuddly little lump of flesh has grown so much, so fast! Now she's a little person that rolls around the room, expresses her personality and absorbs so much!
Is it possible that other parents love and enjoy their children as much as I do? It doesn't seem possible.

New Week, New List
Last night I started my new list for the week. I really like doing it this way! It helps me feel like I'm not just sitting around the house in my jammies not getting much done.
As the week goes on, I am always surprised at how much I actually added to the list! There are a few "roll over" tasks from last week, but man! I have to pace myself! LOL yeah right.
Now, Have I gotten anything done from my list today? uh, no. But I did go to Barnes and Noble and had lunch with a friend. So it is certainly not a wasted day. :)
