You don't know what you've got, until it's gone.
So, it's rainy today.
It's been nice all week and we've been able to spend time walking around the block, to and from stores, we had 2 make up music classes, our normal music class, and 3 trips to the park. SO, missing the noon and 4 nursing sessions haven't been an issue with Quinn.
Until today. She begged and begged and begged and screamed at me and my boobs for food. There's nothing there. After only a week...I never would've imagined.
It takes A LOT more to occupy her mind when she wants to nurse at home. I even noticed at her dinner feeding last night...for the first time ALMOST ever, she nursed from both sides. I know you're "supposed to" do that at every feeding but from birth on...if you ever stopped the girl mid-feeding not only would your ears bleed from screaming, but she wouldn't burp or finish eating...and that led to a crabby baby.
SO, when I heard today's forecast of rain all day...I was more worried what the day would bring.
So far it's a full glass of milk (yes, I'm still giving her the milk despite my thoughts of her lactose issues) and a few sips of juice (not fond of the OJ this week).
She's still not close to sleeping through the night. If she goes to bed after 7:30pm,,she's up MORE frequently. At least with less milk supply, the time is more cuddle time than feeding. She still screams and screams and screams for food. All-be-it the screams are less intense when there's no dairy after 2pm.
Not sure how to get past this sleeping thing. Hopefully the doctor will have some insight on Monday!!
What I'm thankful for today: that Killer didn't run away yesterday; so far Quinn seems to be taking OKAY to weening; the cats are nice and soft from their super-brushing yesterday (but shedding like crazy with this weather change again); THE DAFFODILS ARE BLOOMED!!; the tulips will be here by Easter; our lawn and shrubs were fertilized and trimmed for the first time this year yesterday (yay rain today helping make everything green): Mike's home tomorrow!!

This post made me laugh. Glad weaning is going somewhat-OK! We, too, noticed that Natalie sleeps better if we put her to bed earlier rather than later. Plus, then there is the bonus of more alone time! Hooray for daddy coming home tomorrow!
By the way, your new background is super cute!
