May 30, 2000

I almost forgot to do my entry, the holiday has me all confused!

Well, I cut Sidney back to just two2 feedings a day, my nipples were getting so sore. They feel a lot better now, so I hope I can continue. She tries to nurse more, usually if I'm changing or if she happens to slip her hand up my shirt, then I have to tell her "no." That part is so hard, I wish I could just let her nurse whenever she wanted. But I think she understands. I tell her she has to wait for nap time or for bed time and she'll usually change the subject and start playing with something else.

She's started this funny little thing when she nurses now. She'll say "mmmmm" and it makes me laugh, so she'll keep doing it, little goof.

This weekend was hot, too hot. I called hubby at work last night crying because I was so hot. This is our first summer without air and it's killing me. I'm getting headaches and feeling all sick. The pregnancy doesn't help matters, makes me extra hot. But he brought home a couple of big fans, which helped us sleep a little better last night. I don't know how we're going to make it through August, gosh, it's only May and I'm a mess!

Had my first OB appt today. They just did the regular stuff, blood, pelvic, lots of questions! She did mention that my uterus feels way bigger then the 10 weeks that I am, so I'm going in for an ultrasound on Friday to find out why. I could be farther along then I thought, like maybe I got prego and then had a period, so I didn't know I was... or maybe we've got twins? I'm not going to say what I hope until I find out for sure.

I do hope to still have a December baby, but maybe it will be November after all? Or, twins runs on my grandma’s side and I think it's my generation to have one... or she could have just miss-felt me, anything could happen I guess. But I did get to hear the heartbeat. Hubby said his heart jumped and then he felt a little sad for Sidney. We just hope she doesn't ever feel bad or replaced with another baby. But I'm sure we'll make sure that doesn't happen, she's our first and we love her more then anything.

Okay, I need some sleep. I can't ever get enough anymore. I had a headache tonight, so hopefully since I took something, I can get some good sleep tonight.

HUGS to all and happy nursing!!!
