Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

just a few things...

1. Our little family stayed bundled up inside today because it was cold and rainy. We stayed in PJ's and ate ice cream. It was great.


2. I have to come to the realization that I dislike breastfeeding.

  • I always smell like breast milk no matter how many times I change the pads in my bra.
  • I have to wear pads in my bra. I have to wear ugly nursing bras. I have to wear layers always to hide the said bra and pads.
  • I still have to take my stinky prenatals every day.
I feel like I'm missing a Mommy part or something. I will trudge on with it until March when Booker is 4 months old and reevaluate.


3. Booker has started to sporadically smile directly at me. He likes when I have a towel on my head after a shower or if I blink my eyes at him really fast. I actually missed him while he slept today. I couldn't wait for him to be awake again so he might smile at me. This is not a rational thought process for someone who sleeps in 3 hour increments.


4. Booker looks especially chubby today which is so pleasing to me (and makes me feel more guilty about point #2). Here he is, full tummy, on the way to bed.

He does indeed look chubby!! Regarding #2, extra kudos for sticking it out thus far. I hope it gets better for you. I, thankfully, do not have to wear the pads and such and can imagine that being a bummer. Maybe your supply will become such that you won't have to wear the pads soon. That would be nice! It does feel so good to see our hard work pay off in nice chunky cheeks and extra rolls of chubb!
