Dudes, I did it: 139 baby. And not like 139.8 but 139.2. I am starving 24/7 right now but I am thrilled to be in the 130s. Even if it is at the top of the 130s! Rock on.
Miss Pancake seems to have something going on with her. She has a gooey eye and has been super fussy and unhappy the past day or two. It is hard to say if this is just normal 2 month old stuff or that she has something more going on. I am hoping for the normal 2 month stuff. We shall see tomorrow.
My dog. Ugh my dog. Santana - the first and forgotten baby. He is sick too. They thought it was a bladder infection but after a full round of antibiotics he is still peeing all over our house and it is YUCK bloody pee. I feel rotten for the little guy and yet the vet bill was close to $200 two weeks ago. GAH.
The market is insane and scary and holy hell how did we get here as a nation. I saw a bumper sticker today that made me smile. It said 1.20.09. I had to get super close to the poor car in front of me to read below that number. It said "Bush's last day in office." Now I can only pray that politically speaking we pick the right people to take care of the mess we are currently in. sigh.
I am reading a book called Milk Memos. At first it made me look forward to going back to work in some ways. Then this evening for no reason as I was nursing Miss Pancake and reading the book I started to cry my eyes out. It made me realize returning to work will be no easier this time.
I am tired and going to bed now but I must upload the photos of M tomorrow. They are from the trial run of his costume and these crazy new slippers we bought for him.

Just an FYI from personal experience, sometimes bloody pee can be a sign of diabetes. Is that something your vet has checked for? Has Santana been drinking more than normal? Can you tell if he is straining when 'voiding'? Also, diabetes is totally controllable in our babies - my cat gets insulin shots twice a day & even though she's a handful it's totally doable. Maybe you can call & see if they did the bloodwork to check for it? GOOD LUCK!
Hooray for the weight loss! Sorry that Santana is having problems. Even though I complain about and generally dislike my dogs most of the time I still don't like to see them sick or hurt. The Milk Memos...isn't it awesome! When I first started reading it I felt like they had perfectly captured exactly how I felt about returning to work.
YOU ROCK! Ahhh, 130's...I think I remember those days...uh, back in COLLEGE! (and that was after the college weight gain...holy yikes what has happened to me?) You. plain. old. rock. and. suck. (ha!) Thanks for the great read tip. I need something nice to read if I ever finish Tony Dungy's book (which is AWESOME, I just never make time to read) Sorry to hear about Santana..whenever Molly got hurt last summer all my guilt about how she is SOOO neglected now set in. Hope Santana gets better soon!!!! And Hope baby girl feels better soon too!!!
Jennifer - Never thought of Diabetes. I am not sure about the drinking thing - I will watch this. As for straining he has always er ah struggled so I told Kevin to ask about this. They sent a urine sample away to look at it.
Melissa - I do like the Milk Memos. I wish I would have had it for M more so then now. All of it is so familar to what I felt and went through when BFing with M. It does remind me how lonely I felt a lot and makes wish I would have had other ladies to chat without about this stuff the 1st time around. The hardest thing for me the first time with M had to do with self doubt. I did not mind pumping but I felt incredible guilt, cripping in fact, for leaving my child and going to work for various reasons. This time I know I want to work and the overwhelming guilt is mostly gone now. I am happy with my life and the choices we are making for our family today! I like the book because it is getting me in the mindset to return to work in T-minus four weeks or so!
K & J's Mom - Thanks! I am thrilled with the weight at the moment. It took me TWO years to get to 139 with M so this is a big deal and I am still 20 lbs heavier then I was before I got pregnant with M. Have you read Ghostwalk or a kid's book (sort of along the lines of Harry Potter) called The Secret Benedit Society? These are both good and quick reads. The best I have read yet though is The Memory Keeper's Daughter - SO GOOD. If you want to borrow any of these let me know and I will bring them along on Saturday!
Hi ladies.
It's Cate Colburn-Smith here, co-author of The Milk Memos. I have a google alert that tells me when the book title comes up in a blog or web page. I love knowing that moms like you are out there reading the book. MUCH more importantly, I love that you're going to continue breastfeeding Miss Pancake (HOW CUTE US THAT?) when you return to paid work. All the best to you and your family.
Great blog, also. :-)
Cate
