Big boy.

A big boy needs a big boy cot! We've moved N into his cot in our room, he was getting too big for the crib and sticking his hands out the sides. He looks so tiny in it, but he loves it, and it feels so much more comfortable then the crib.

We've also hit the teething mark, lots of hand chewing, dribbling and sticking his hand so far down his throat he makes himself puke, it has been joked since he's only 3ish months and is too big for penneys 3-6 month clothes that N maybe airing his bulimic demons.

I think I'm going to give up the pumping, it's just getting soul destroying, I feel like a zombie most days and having to stay up as late as I can to get good output is just tiring.  Since we'll be introducing solids in 2 weeks  I don't think I'll be ale to pump and purée at the same time, it just feels natural to hang up the pump.

17 weeks! I honestly don't know where the time has gone, it just feels like yesterday I stumbled in hungover to take a test, I had no inkling I was pregnant and of course when the line appeared I mentally started admonishing myself for being out the night before, but how could I have known.

I will remember the  21st of November 2011 as one of the best days of my life!

Development

Nates antibiotic seems to have cleared up the infection. We had our 11 week check-up (had an 11 week check-up, down to the Dr. thinking N's head was too large) and this Dr. (we have a new one at every visit) was actually the Dr. who discharged N from hospital said his head was absolutely fine. She couldn't understand why we were brought back.....bbbbuuuuttttt.... She would like to see us again in 2 months as N was being particularly stubborn that day and he refused to lift his head when placed on his belly. He did a spectacular show of lying there screaming, and when the didn't get him picked up he decided to attempt to suffocate himself. God job son! I knew I could count on you!

Nice.....

So I'm bottle feeding and expressing too. I would have loved to breast feed exclusively but down to health issues I can't. So I'm attaching mysel to my "milker" oooppppsss pump 4-5 times a day. Today I was out shopping so only got to do it this morning and then this evening. The husband pointed out that I'd managed to leak through my bra , my padded bra! What was worse I brushed him off with a flippant "oh no that's grand, it's sweat...". Jesus I don't know what was worse, the fact I was fine with sweating like a pig or the fact he was so nonchalant about the huge breast milk stain.
