lls_mutantTrevor is six weeks old already. I can't believe it.
I'm also not sleeping much- he's up every few hours for food, and even if hubby gets up with him (which he does if Trevor gets up before 2:30 or so), I hear him and worry. Not about Trev being okay, but about hubby getting enough sleep.
However, I am giving up nursing at this point. We made it the recommended six weeks, and I'm only hating it more and more. Trevor has a nasty tendency to fall asleep any time he nurses, which is really aggravating because he falls asleep before he's done, and then 15 minutes later is looking for more. He doesn't do that with the bottle. Plus, I really, really, really want my body back.
I was feeling guilt about it yesterday. Then we watched an episode of Season 6 Scrubs where a rude waitress tells Jordan "You ARE breastfeeding, right?" And when Jordan finds out she was breastfed, she just says, "well, it made you a nosey buttinsky who's a slutty waitress in a bar, so... no." Hehehe. Not that I remotely think breastfeeding is bad, obviously. And I know some of you are huge proponents of it. But seriously- there are people out there that must drive the people on my list nuts, because they make your side look bad. :P
::sigh:: Time to get my boys up. I really need to get things accomplished!
