I had lunch with a coworker today - it was good to see her, but wow - she is burnt out. She says the department is crazy depressing right now with the layoffs. I, personally, think she is just way more charitable than she needs to be. The people leaving (being layed off) never thought about her workload or even how her work fit into the work of the department. I'm thinking specifically of my CWFH, who is just a horrid person and I'm really and truly thankful that I won't have to work with her an...Saturday, December 17th 2005
Sigh. Another checkin without sucess - and actually up a pound. I layed in bed last night and thought, "What is the worse that could happen at checkin tomorrow and how will you deal with it if it does?" And the worst came true, and the way I will deal with it is to drop my calories to 1400. My milk supply is very close to gone - if I get two ounces a day I'll be lucky, so dropping calories isn't going to ruin my supply since its nearly gone anyway.Obviously my current calorie lev...

12:51 amWill's little hands break my heart sometimes - they're so vulnerable in their gestures and such a barometer of how he's feeling. Clenching and relaxing, waving and pausing, curling and flopping and resting.

He's getting dimples above ...

I'm going to steal 5 minutes to write in here. Its 9:09am, Will and S are asleep, and my to do list is very long.It snowed and snowed and snowed last night - it is beautiful out. During our 2:45 feeding, the world was quiet and white.
I had a realization yesterday that brought me some peace of mind. I realized that 80% of the time, I am inside motherhood - meaning, I'm actively living my life with Will and S and happy about it. There are days, though very few, when I slip out of being...

Uh oh. Its 3:48am and Will couldn't be more awake if I'd fed him coffee. He just wolfed down 5 ounces of milk - he should be milk-drunk if nothing else. He is eating so much lately - all day long it seems. Oops - he just spit up about an ounce of that 5. Yum.He has his 1 month appt tomorrow. Today, I mean.
We got back from Cragun's Resort around 2pm - we had such a great time. We got there around 2 on Friday. Our room had a fire place and adjoined to Mark and Jill's. Jill is in love ...
