We just spent a wonderful (and tiring) week with fam on C's side. Granpa, Uncle, Aunty and cousins were all staying here. It was at times a little crazy but so nice to spend that time together. We went on a couple day adventures including visiting family in Weyburn and Kayville and a day spent watersliding at the Travelodge. Everyone left on Sunday so Monday was spent cleaning and trying to get grounded again. Today was spent packing the camper!
We are finally going camping *happy dance*. It took us all day today to pack the camper (the one that we have yet to use) and we are only going for two days, but we are going. Lily is so excited. She wanted to sleep in the camper tonight. Actually, that probably would have been a good idea. In all honesty I am dreading bedtime while camping. The walls of a trailer are very thin and the air in the great outdoors carry sound very far. Some nights are good and some nights are a scene straight from the Exorcist. I am hoping the days full of fresh air and new adventures will make for a sweet transition into slumberland. I am praying for strength and patience in case they instead become over stimulated and behave like Gremlins who were fed after midnight.
Now that Daisy is officially on a bottle and pretty much 100% weaned *tear* she seems to be sleeping a little better. No more 1 hour crying fits at 4:00 in the morning only to be finally relieved by stuffing her with food. Apparently the poor girl was starving. I knew my supply had dropped drastically and we were really trying to get her to accept more formula or milk throughout the day, but my headstrong baby girl needed to come to the conclusion on her own. She finally did and really hasn't looked back since. I am feeling very mixed emotions. On one side, the past couple of months have been trying with a lot of struggling for milk, sloppy latch and biting. On the other side, I really wanted to nurse her until I knew she was done and feel like I let her down. She loved her booby and I was not quite ready to stop either as this could be the last baby I nurse *big tear*.
