Matty and 'Aunt Katie'

Good Friday Morning!! I got 7 straight hours of sleep last night so I feel pretty good. I have to tell you Susan, that Matthew Blaine slept 12 hours a night by around 4 months old but then the winter cold season hit and I think that because he seemed to be pretty miserable with being totally stuffed up he started getting up every 3 hours to nurse. He has pretty much been on that schedule for a few months, sometimes stretching it to 4 hours. So they change ALL the time. I have to say though that since I work full time I may have been pretty tired but it never made me angry that he would get up. I was so happy to hold him and see him just one more time before the next day. That’s another reason I would say that breastfeeding, especially if you work and if you are physically able, is worth every effort. It gave us just one more opportunity for Mommy/Baby time when I was so upset early on and when I worried he would forget who his Mommy was. Believe me, I know he will not forget but I needed the cuddle time! I have had a very easy time using the pump at work and stuff but I owe that all to getting some great experience while he was in the NICU and I had to pump for 11 days.

Enough about breast pumping… if any of you are still around … I lost an entire pound! Woo Hoo! Day 7 and I really needed to see the scale move in a better direction. One to two pounds a week is good enough for me. I’ll take it!

Matt made tacos for dinner so I made a yummy taco salad and he got some chili going last night so it will be chili for the weekend! Yummo.

I’m looking forward to the weekend (as always ) I have the usual latte/ Target trip with Emily tomorrow. And I am getting a cut and color tomorrow! Ooh, I am really on the fence whether I want a real haircut or just a trim.
I need to stop and get a few movies for the weekend, we haven’t had a movie night in a while.

Have a great weekend everyone. Thank you for all your help!
