1 More Day…… Posted by Katie

Until my mum gets here……I am so excited! - My house is clean and ready and I can’t wait to have a week off work! I love my job….it is a wonderful job, but the stress of getting up and out the door every morning really gets to me. I know the time is coming soon when I won’t be able to bring Kyne with me anymore also….I have no idea what we will do then….I am dreading it. He is starting to become a little time-consuming while I am at work, so I know it’s not long until I will have to change my life around.

I am loving the cooler weather….but apparently the first day of Fall it is going to be 90′…….ah well, October is here soon.

I have made the decision to wean from the pump by Jan 1st! - I am looking forward to it very much! Pumping has/does play a big role in my stress and depression, so having a date that I know I will be done by is really helping me. I am stocking the freezer and hope to have at least 2 months worth in there so we can get him to 11 months on breast milk alone…..and then he will only need formula for a month before we make the switch to cows milk. I already have about a 1.5 months worth frozen (roughly) so
we should be able to achieve it. I think I will have to stick w/the 3 pumps a day until I start to wean though….But that is OK :)

So Jan 1st will be big changes in our house…..the diet will start and the exercise will begin! I want to (and WILL) lose 20lbs (at least) by the summer…it is going to be hard work…..but I know I can do it!

Tayah is still getting on my last nerve each and every day. She can be the sweetest, most wonderful little girl at times….and then like a switch she turns into a little bear! I never experienced anything like this with Talon, so it’s all new to me….and I think I don’t handle her very well at times. I am trying so hard to do things differently but it is very trying. They say she is a dream at preschool, the best they have in the class! She says please and thank-you all the time and listens like a pro……so
I don’t know what Ricky and I are doing wrong at home! Ha ha

IUD is out. Posted by Katie

Yep, I got it removed……I hope my headaches go and I hope my mood lifts. If not, it is OK…at least I will know it wasn’t the IUD and I can look into what it is.

I am gonna go back next week and get the non-hormonal IUD inserted.

Stress…. Posted by Katie

Am I stressed, or am I just a mom of 3?

I dunno the answer…wish I did…..coz I don’t really like myself at the moment, so I’m sure my kids don’t like me either.

I am counting the days until my new Dr appt on the 24th!

Xanax does nothing!

Sinuses Hurt… Posted by Katie

I have a pain in my sinus and Kyne is all stuffy….think the sickies are trying to get us!

He slept until 6.30 this morning, but that OK coz Ricky and Talon needed to leave a little earlier for the bus stop, they barely made it yesterday…..came into the school following the bus! ha!

This month Posted by Katie

This month is exciting for me(us), because my mum is flying in from England again! - She was here in June and she was here in April when Kyne arrived…..I love it when she is here!
I am taking the week off work, and Ricky is taking a few days vacation also.
We don’t have any big plans though….we always think that doing something great like the beach or a theme park sounds good, but in reality we know it isn’t really possible right now (money, 3 kids, pumping etc). I dunno, I really would like to go to the beach…….maybe we can do a day there on the weekend…I can just bring the pump and pump in the car!

Kyne slept 8-6.45 this morning, so still a great night.
He is napping again now while I am working :)

He is almost sitting up un-aided too! He can sit for about a minute, but always topples over. Both Talon and Tayah were sitting by 4 3/4 months, so he is just taking a little longer.

I wanted to document that he started cereal on Aug 21st also.
