Back from Vacation
Sorry I was gone so long! We spent the second half of April in Florida with my parents (including a side trip to Disney!), then a small trip to Virginia to visit some friends, and then Mother's Day! It has been a hectic month for us! I'm going to post some pics in the private forum.
Kyra goes for her 4 month check up tomorrow, and I'm guessing she's about 15 1/2 lbs. She's a chunky little peanut! We've also discovered she has a milk allergy, which means I can't have any dairy. I'm already a vegetarian, but it looks like I'll be vegan for the next few months while I'm still BFing. I'll give it a whirl, but if it's too hard I'm not opposed to FF. I just wanted to do the same for her as I did for James. I'm also starting back at work next week. Boo hoo! I would love some extra time! Actually, my boss offered me another 6 weeks (unpaid) but I can't do it. I really need to get back. I'm sure I'll love it once I'm there, but it's just the thought of being dog tired all the time that's giving me this pit in my stomach! (I work 12 hour night shifts) I'm hoping my supply doesn't dwindle either. I don't exactly get breaks, so finding time to pump twice may be a challenge.
Other than that, Kyra is doing really well. Her sleeping is a mystery to us. She'll either sleep through from about 8 to 5, or she'll wake up at 3am. It doesn't really matter what time we put her down. Those seem to be her two options! She was doing 3 naps (short, long, short) but this week it's turned into 2 long naps (2.5-4 hours each). Her big brother is still so loving and making me so proud! He had the time of his life (all 2 1/2 years of it!) at Disney. He's still talking about it! People say he's too young to enjoy it, but if they could only see the look on his face for 2 days straight, I think they'd change their minds!
Thanks for reading this far! LOL! It's great to catch up with you ladies again.
