Every single time I make a pot of coffee, I think of mom. She was, if possible, worse at waking than I am. I remember being trained as a kid to make her coffee. We had a scooper that, filled to heaping corresponded to two cups of water. Because of the silly private language we [...]

weaning immanent?

Tonight is the fifth night in a row the Bird went to sleep without her num-a-num. It’s the third night I actually put her to bed myself. (!) Yesterday there was no nursing from wake up until the wee hours this morning. Today so far there was only one quick attempt, when she latched on [...]

It’s a twenty pound toddler girl child who is driving me fucking insane. The night weaning? It’s over. I royally screwed up last week when she went through the 2 a.m. wake up and play spell, then with the flu… Someone tell me what the hell I was thinking? I am the poster child for [...]

The past week, Molly is waking at night, and she is pissed. Nothing works except to get up and watch a movie, or to nurse. I am almost resolved to un-night-wean. I will get more sleep that way. I honestly may see what happens if she just cries and throws a fit for a while. [...]

By special Ancient Borrowed Van Delivery, my brother returned to my custody a tall bookcase from my old room and approximately 8 gazillion books, the majority of which are either cheesy Wicca 101 titles or Carl Jung and [...]
nightweaning update and then i may ramble
January 11, 2008 – 10:09 pm
Molly’s nursing to sleep somewhere between 7:45 to 9, and then no more until 6 a.m. She’s waking the same amount as before we started this, and half of the time asking for “num.” She’s fussing less that a minute and going back to sleep when I tell her wait until morning. I feel more [...]

Dear Dr. Jay Gordon,
Can I kiss you? Send you chocolate? Something? The Birdy went from 9 pm until after 6 am without nursing. Again. *is floored*
night weaning: day 4 (or, my baby is supergirl)
January 7, 2008 – 1:38 pm
Wow! I decided after all to just stick with Dr. G’s schedule unless things got really crazed. They did not. In fact, I actually woke her up getting into her bed when I was restless in Bu’s & my room. It was roughly midnight. I scooted her over and she fussed. She said “Num” in [...]
night weaning: day 3

Yeah, so I won’t bore you with the details, but last night was pretty much the same as the past two. The minute long nummins are easy peasy. So very easy they are, that I’ve decided to stretch this on until next weekend!
night weaning: day 2

Last night was pretty similar to the night before, plus the cutest thing ever added in…
