timing

Bird: *tweaks my nipple* Heheheeee!
Daisymama: No! No pinching.
Bird: Num-a-num! Heheheheheeee!
Daisymama: Wanna nursey?
Bird: *looks at me as if I’ve just stepped out of a spaceship* Hehehee, no…
Daisymama: Hmm. Is Boo suddenly too grown up for nummies?
Bird: *emphatic nod* Uh- HUH! Wah-yee?
Daisymama: Okaaaaay… *hands Bird sippy*
The thing with timing is…
Mid-August 2005, we decided we would start trying [...]

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 [...]

still salvagable. yes.

Oh, hai. Having my morning coffee, sliding into metaphorical home base with it, yeah… but still: SAFE! Is in the ante meridian. Am up.
I have my excuse ready. See here? It says “Please excuse DaisyMama from pre-noon productivity on her officially predetermined Art Day. Her beautiful demon spawn snot monster woke at 4:15 a.m. and [...]

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 [...]

night weaning: day 5

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)

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…

night weaning: day 1

Last night was so much easier than I’d expected! I went for bedtime to 6 a.m. which ended up being abot 8 1/2 hours rather than the seven that Dr. G recommends. Kind of a spur of the moment decision when she woke before 11.
