hear the crickets?!

oh-mi-gosh...someone is not doing a very good job with this blog >.<

today is august 1, which means that there are only 145 days until christmas!  i'm totally dreaming of a parisian holiday!  last year, the tiramisu casually tugged on ribbon and threw her gifts around but this year, i'm pretty sure that she'll know how to open presents and get excited at everything that santa has brought her!  can't wait!

my baby is 14-1/2 months (*gasp* she is growing way too fast) young and her mama is still pumping...but only once a day, which is totally doable.  i may just keep this up until i have no milk left or twins are in the oven ^_^  tonight, i told the hubby how funny it would be if i started taking fertility drugs secretly and we ended up with triplets.  he was NOT amused...at all.

i wanted to start a monthly challenge at the 1st of every month.  this month was supposed to be closing my facebook and twitter accounts since my fingers seem to naturally gravitate towards those icons on my iphone at every available opportunity. but i am postponing this until september because i promised to post some pics from the tres chic birthday in paris and haven't done it yet (yes, i suck).  so, perhaps my new challenge will be to blog daily.  this is going to be a big one for me.

peace out!

today is june 10...

...and my little is almost 13 months young...and i'm still pumping!  WTF.  the AAP (american academy of pediatrics) recommends breastfeeding for 1 year...but the WHO (world health organization) recommends providing breastmilk for up to TWO years and beyond!  my (male) pediatrician suggested that i continue to provide breastmilk for the little until she turns two, if possible >.<  holy smokes!

so, i'm compromising.  i've decreased my pumping schedule to only three sessions a day and am now supplementing any milk deficits with organic, whole milk with DHA.  her milk consumption is still primarily breastmilk so hopefully she's still reaping the benefits!  eliminating the stringent pumping schedule has provided some newfound freedom in my life and i now have the time to tackle some fun diy projects that will be revealed here soon :)

oh em gee...

i see that june 1st has come and gone and i did not stick to my mutha $*(#%(! stinkin' promise.  i suck!  maybe this blogging thing just isn't for me.  or perhaps i'm just lazy and undisciplined.  and, i'm still recovering from my first year of motherhood.  yes, i'm a wimp like that.
