September 4, 2000

Labor Day, and Hubby is at work. I'm a little bored, but too tired to do anything. We ran all over yesterday: the park, the pool, then out to dinner. It was a very long day and I'm paying for it today!! I better get rested, though, as tomorrow I'll have four kids to watch -- oh my!!! On Saturday I tried mixing half and half of Sidney's lactose-free milk and whole milk, to see if she was outgrowing the lactose intolerance any. Not a good night. Poor thing woke up screaming for 45 minutes. I got five doses of Mylicon down her and she finally was able to calm down and go back to sleep. Poor peanut. I guess we won't be trying that again anytime soon.

I may be calling the OB tomorrow, I just don't know if I'm over-reacting or what's going on. I know I'm carrying this baby very low, he's on my cervix a lot or kicking it. But I've been getting some pressure down there, even some pain. Then along with the Braxton Hicks, it makes for an interesting combination. I'm sure it's just the baby hitting low, but I guess I just want to make sure. I'm 24 weeks now, and my next appointment is at 25 weeks, maybe I'll just wait??? I don't know. Well, I need to make this short, wowee ... I smell a poopy diaper running by!!! I better go. Happy Labor Day, HUGS and happy nursing. :)
