May 31, 2000

I am really stuck on what to say this week. Not much is happening around here for me and I can't really go out much. This baby is sooooo heavy and is taking all my energy. DS wants me to play with him all the time and that is just about all I can handle. I'm 33 weeks right now. DS was born at 37 weeks so maybe I only have three more weeks to go! Woo Hoo!

DS has officially decided he does not need to nap everyday (but I do!). I can't really force him to, but it has actually turned out OK. If he does not nap, he goes to bed two hours earlier which is fine with me. However, this also means he does not BF at naptime (in the afternoon) and only BFs for about 5-10 minutes instead of 10-30 minutes at night. I suppose this means he has officially started to wean himself, too. I think that when the baby is born he will want to nurse more again.

Other than that, our house is being painted next week and I am a bit worried about the fumes. It is supposed to take about two weeks and I am the one who is supposed to supervise the painters. Not too good for me, I suppose... I guess the windows will be open a lot.

Lots of love,
Ketherine
