I never realized you were so tall. Your body description rings true to have I feel I'm looking these days. I can't believe she is a year! She looks as cute as ever. I'm impressed you work even 10 hours a week. That's exhausting.
Have you tried doing a formula(does she drink formula? i am assuming so with only 2-3 nursing sessions)/cows milk cocktail? But she doesn't have to drink cows milk right this minute. She can do formula until she likes the cows milks. Ben didn't like it at first and personally, I never have liked milk in any form even nursing as an infant (so says my mother).
Grace has never taken to formula, and I can't blame her: it is DISGUSTING! Really! Have you ever tried the stuff? Gross!
We've tried formula a few times, but Grace rejects it. She is doing better on the cow's milk, now, and I'm sure it will be a process, anyhow.
what about soy milk? might upset her belly less.
lol on the mama stats! have you got back to doing yoga regularly? this will help with your tone and stress level (as you know). even with you working it will be worth it to make time for the yoga!!
soy milk produces toxic diapers! really gross!
I haven't gotten back into yoga, although I have wanted to. I feel like I've been so obsessed about getting the house ready, and now about packing. My productivity is down TONS since I've had a baby. It takes me 20 times longer to do anything, although I'm sure everyone experiences that.
It's frustrating how much your productivity goes down when you have a baby. It takes years to get it back, just about the time you're ready to have another one.
I think all the time about how much better of a person I was (I thought) before I had kids. I feel like had it together then...I know I was more patient. I know my capacity for most things has increased in the process, but at the same time I feel like I've lost some of my better qualities in the process.
Is it really possible that Grace is 1?
