Lets see I have time for a real update while Nolan sleeps.
The "pusher's" won in the end Nolan has not nursed in a month. My supply died a little over 2 weeks ago. I think the mastitis was the last straw. I miss it and am very sad that Nursing has come to a end for us. I will nurse longer with baby number 2 if there is a baby.
Sleep that is a joke for the last 5 nights Nolan has been waking every 2.5 or 3 hours. We might be in the 6 month growth spurt. None the less it really stinks and makes us very crabby.
I have been thinking about getting a Holiday job. This being at home thing is killing me and making my Depression worst. I looked up MOP groups but there are none that don't meet during Nap time.
Being a stay at home mom just might not be for me.
We keep talking about going back to church and then don't . I am not sure how it works with a 6 month old who is clingy.
I think thats about all for now. there are other things I could say but, I am not sure who reads this.

Sara you breastfed your baby for almost 6 months! You've done more than what most moms do! Pat yourself on the back for that...I know you are feeling 12342360982426 kinds of guilty for the growth curve, but he's fine and catching up and the liquid gold he got for the first half of his first year will pay off with good health benefits for him AND you for years to come. Take heart in what you DID do and try not to beat yourself up for what you didn't. Besides, you have so many more years and issues with which to screw up your kid ;) (kidding...)
Anyway, hey lookie here, it's 5:47 AM and I haven't been to sleep yet tonight...I am supposed to volunteer in Noah's classroom for an hour or so this AM and then I'll probably crash because I neeeeeed sleep....of which I'm sure you are acutely aware. Sorry I haven't called back, I keep meaning to call when it's quiet and I'm home and that never seems to occur in the first part of the week...
Anyway, one more parting thought, and we should call and get together, by the way....anyway, DO get out and join some of those groups when you can...this is the one time in his life that he can snooze on your lap during naptime...when he's older, it won't be as easy. Or when you have two kids OMG stuff gets sooo complicated then. LOL!
TTYsoon hopefully...

One positive thing about having a formula fed baby is that other people can feed him. Can your husband give you a night off and get up for the feedings? Or do you have family close by that could watch him overnight? I know it is so hard to leave little ones, but I bet a good nights sleep would do wonders for you. :)
Staying at home isn't for everyone. And extra money is always nice. :)
Yes it nice having Brian help out with feeding.
Not sure if he could do all the night feeding. He works so I like to let him get the best sleep. He does do the first feeing.
hmm sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa. I don't know if we are ready for that both sets work and they live 45 mins away. That and my mom is hard of hearing. My dad gets up at 4am so not sure if that would be best.
Well, think about this...My kids' dad has them for the weekend this weekend and Joe drives the truck to Seattle on Fridays with two trailers full of trees. I drop off the kids at their dad's around 6 PM. If you like--and I know how hard it would be, so please don't feel like you'd hurt my feelings to say no or anything (and I'm offering because I KNOW how hard those infant days can go)--I could pick him up on my way home Friday night, take him to my house and feed and snuggle him all night (I don't sleep anyway LOL) and you guys could get one night's good sleep and come running down as early as you feel good Saturday in the AM to fetch him.
I remember feeling so alone at home with TWO when Noah was a babe and thinking, "I'm supposed to be ENJOYING my maternity leave," and everybody kept offering to watch the BABY but not the TWO YO for me. I wanted to scream and tear out my hair and rend my garments.
Think about it, I'd be privileged to get to watch him, and thrilled to help you out with your feelings, which I know so well. LOL I can't help clients this way ;)
