Hello out there!

It has been over a month since I used this thing. Hi!

Tukey is 6 months old. SIX MONTHS! He is still kind of half-heartedly nursing, especially in the middle of the night. So that means we have been nursing for six months, which was kind of my pipe dream. Go me! He is also still getting over half of his daily nutrition from donated breastmilk - about 25oz of donor milk per day. (Any more than that and I would run out before getting more.) I have been very resourceful and scrappy in finding donors and picking up people's stashes and stuff, so I'm pretty proud of myself. I have one box of domperidone left and I'm not buying more, so I imagine I will lose my milk in about 12 days and we won't be nursing anymore. Sad about it but can't justify buying more.

There are a couple of weeks left of the school year and I am excited to be home with the kids for the summer, but nervous about being able to entertain them both all summer by myself. I'm sure I will get into a groove and am excited to be off work. (But the lack of pay will hurt.)

Why do I make babies who don't like to sleep? Why? I like to sleep!!

Nice job re: nursing!!! What a terrific job you've done :)

I thought it was impossible to have 2 kids who don't like to sleep. That's what I've been telling myself anyways....

I am so glad that you were able to breast feed for so long, I know how important it was for you.

The summer with the kids will be fantastic :D

Maybe BOGO-sperm-donor-dude never sleeps?

Don't worry too much, I hear that in 10-14 years they LOVE to sleep and will be sleeping late into the morning!

6 months is awesome! Good for you. And all that donated milk is pretty great too. Yay!



P.S. After summer we meet up!
