Happy Tuesday! I finally remembered to start this before noon!

1. How is it going this week?
2. Any victories?
3. Any questions or issues?
4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?

1. How is it going this week?
Ok. I think J may be developing asthma (MH had it bad as a kid). We're taking him to the doctor tomorrow for an evaluation.

2. Any victories?
I'm finally managing to get some organization done. We have a two story house, so we have upstairs and downstairs changing areas. J is too heavy for the changer on the pack in play that we've been using on the first floor, so I'm repurposing the barely used buffet in the dining room into a changing table.

3. Any questions or issues?
Anyone else seeing self weaning yet? He hasn't dropped a feeding but I notice that he's less interested these days.

4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?
Swimming! We took him into a pool a couple of times last year but he was indifferent. This year I'm hoping he enjoys it.

1. How is it going this week? This week has been a crap shoot due to meltdowns and crazy nap changes. Trying to cut down to 2-3 nursing sessions. Sometimes shes only taking one sides.
2. Any victories?
Today we just went to one nap and so far its been okayish.
3. Any questions or issues?
Not sure if fussiness has anything to do with weaning or this nap transition.
4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?
Going to the pond, beach, swimming pools. Going downtown for picnics.
I reeeally wish our yard was fenced in. I thought it was going to be so great being outside all the time. But she just wants to run away and not spend any time in our own yard!

It's ok. I'm traveling so dumping because international milk carry was too complicated for me to sort out. Regretting tossing the milk. Otherwise good!

Victories? 3 nights away on a work trip. She cried when I left. I cried after I left. I just hate leaving her for work

Nothing boob wise. I'm done pumping besides missed feeding a. Cue all the guilt. Hate it.

Looking forward to exploring more this summer. Last summer was stroller only. I remember the first time we were able to take her out in the park this spring post snow melting and how free and happy she was

1. How is it going this week?

Everything is going good. She is still nursing 3x a day. They are barely actual sessions though. She is self-weaning. In fact I could probably just stop offering and she wouldn't bat an eye. I am just having mixed feelings about it. I know I want her to be weaned before the new baby arrives so I'm not sure why I'm delaying. 

2. Any victories?

We had some sleep regression after our initial sleep training. We got her back on track and now she goes down for naps and bedtime without crying. I never thought it was possible so I'm loving this. It has made my life so much easier and less stressful. 

3. Any questions or issues?

No. I'm just having torn feelings about completely weaning.

4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?
being outside playing in the pool and sprinklers. It has finally gotten super warm so the water isn't too cold.

1. How is it going this week?

I think we are taking steps towards weaning. One morning DD didn't ask to nurse when she got up so I thought I'd just go with it. Now we are down to just bedtime nursing. We'll see when she wants to drop that session...

2. Any victories?
I'm relieved that DD is taking steps on her own to wean. I didn't want to be the one to cut her off if she still wanted to nurse, but I was starting to think about our timeline for TFAS and how to start the weaning process.

3. Any questions or issues?
We actually skipped our 1 bedtime session last night because DH and I went out to dinner to celebrate my 30th bday and so my sister in law put her to bed. I'd forgotten how uncomfortable it is to get really full. I didn't pump, so it'll be 36hrs in between sessions for us. Wondering now how it'll be when we wean completely. Do people get super engorged again? How long does it take to go away?


4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?

Hanging out at the beach and swimming in the pool!

1. How is it going this week?
Good, but LOs nap time seems to be getting pushed back later. It is throwing my plans off, but I can't force her to fall asleep. She used to go down at around 10:30, but now it's more like 11:30 or 12.

2. Any victories?
LO still nurses at bedtime, but wake up is hit or miss.

3. Any questions or issues?
We are finally mixing whole cows milk with my frozen breast milk. So far LO is drinking it just fine.

4. GTKY: Now that our LOs are 1 year old, what are you looking forward to doing with them this summer?
She loves the pool! I'm glad that this summer she actually fits in her float/canopy thing. Last summer she was too small to use it.

jtizzay I'm sure you will get so many wonderful hugs/kisses when you get back!! Safe travels!

Yes.  My LO doesn't nurse at every wake up anymore.
