8 Months!

8 months old-Easter breakfast with Grandma!

Walking!


Just a cute one of her stinky face :)

Bedtime books

I know my blog has a lot of negatives but I'm using it as a journal and it makes me feel better to write it all out. I will start with the positives this time though.

I am completely pump free! I think it's been about three weeks since I've pumped and I'm pretty sure that I'm not producing milk anymore. Thank you Jesus! I'm very very happy that I am still able to provide breast milk for Skittle and pumping for me was the way to go but boy am I glad I'm done. I think I've got another couple months worth of milk still in the freezer.

I took Skittle on her first plane ride (all by myself!) to Texas to visit family at the end of April. She was such a champ! She only cried for a minute while I got her milk ready and then she slept on me for about 45 mins. Seriously, I don't think it could have gone any better. Dh met us in TX to do some house hunting so we drove back together. Again, Skittle was amazing. She didn't fuss or cry the ENTIRE 13 hr car trip. I would just look back at her from the front seat and smile and she would giggle and kick her feet. She really is a happy baby (well, unless she is tired or hungry) and I just love her to pieces!

She is sort of crawling now. Sort of. She pulls herself forward with her arms while her little legs kick like mad behind her. I try and help her get to her knees but she doesn't care for that so she rolls over. She's only goes about two feet in front of her before she gets irritated and rolls but she can do a 360 on her belly by walking on her hands. It's cute. If she's sitting she uses my pant legs to pull up on and she'll stand up. Every time I try and have her cruise holding on to the couch, she just lets go and falls. It's weird because she'll hold on to my hands and walk and walk and walk around the house and never lets go. I have a strange kid!

No change on the eating either. She'll tolerate people food in bite size pieces but she still won't put anything in her mouth on her own! I have to do it for her or she'll never have any solid foods. I'll be mentioning it at her next appt.

Oh, and Skittle now says mama and dada and just yesterday when I click my tongue at her, she'll do it back. We both start laughing every time!

My pain level has stabilized some. Now the problem is my ovaries. I've been on the mini pill since Skittle was born but I've had AF twice (which I shouldn't have-and I think I'm gearing up for another) and each time I know that I've ovulated. The pill is supposed to prevent that. And, uh, it's not. Anyway, my lower stomach feels exactly like when I was dealing with the fluid around my ovaries. The last few days it's been painful to walk and to sit down. I am so tired of dealing with this. I'm pretty sure my endo has come back. I know I need to switch birth control options in order to stop ovulating and maybe help my endo pain. Or, just get pregnant again.
