Glamour mom nursing tanks are on there today. 50% off which makes them 17.00!!!!!
I just ordered one, they only have 1 color left with 2 sizes available. Better hurry before their gone! :D
Crap, Crap, Crapppppp!
I completely forgot about the 3 month growth spurt. Usually I see them coming and recognize them. For a couple days Addie will do nothing but sleep all day, she will eat very little and is pretty cranky when she IS awake. Then she will transition to being awake ALL day, crying all the time, cranky, cranky CRANKY and will want to nurse all day long for about a week. Sigh.
A few days ago I noticed she was sleeping alot and eating only 4-5 times a day. We're feeding "on demand" so I don't wake her up to eat or anything but she was eating so little I was worried. So I was telling DH about it and about how much she's been sleeping and how I just didn't know what was wrong with her.
DH: "Isn't there like a 3 month growth spurt or something?"
Me: "Oh my gosh, you're RIGHT! Crap! No! NOOOOOO!"
Yeah. I completely forgot. Sigh. I'm not looking forward to this. I've heard this is a tough one. She's been in the sleep all day phase for a few days now so anyday she should be transitioning to the cranky phase. Oh, and I was going to attempt to take the kids Christmas photos sometime this week.
This should be FUN! (Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice?)

Addie had an appointment today with a nutritionist. We are on WIC thru the Health Department so it's kind of a "have to." blah. It went very well though.
The nutritionist was SO nice. We weighed Addie-shes at 13 lbs 3 oz now! Holy cow! 2 weeks ago she was 11 lbs 15 oz! She has almost DOUBLED her birth weight! She's also 24.5 inches long now! So she asked if everything was going okay and I said yes and that was the end of the appointment...kinda crazy.
However, we got to talking and probably sat there sharing breastfeeding stories for 15 minutes or more. She noticed the same thing I have: Around here in the center of the US people are very anti-breastfeeding. She said she rarely sees any bf'ing mothers and with her job, that surprises me! The people around here see breasts as a very sexual thing and as nothing else, which is very annoying! My brother is the WORST. He's almost 30, has 3 kids and thing BF'ing is disgusting. (He doesn't know I am BF'ing) at Thanksgiving I brought pumped milk b/c I know his views. Thank goodness I did b/c there was a show on tv about bf'ing and he started going off about how sick it was and how its just for the moms pleasure (ew!) and that bf'ing moms are pedophiles. O.M.G. I couldn't believe it. I told the nutritionist and she laughed and said "Oh these rednecks around here!" She said she would have been FURIOUS (believe me I was!) and would have gone off on him...I just kept my mouth shut. No need to fuel the fire. :)
Anyways, since I am on WIC & am breastfeeding I get a FREE breastpump! So today I got mine! They are soooo nice! I got the Medela Pump in Style Advanced backpack. It's amazing! It even comes with a small manual pump! I'm so excited b/c this pump is almost $300 on babiesrus!!
While I was there she also gave me something really need. For some reason Blogger doesnt let me post links anymore (is this happening to anyone else?) I would link to it if I could but since I can't its called: Playtex Ortho-Pro teether. It's really neat. It looks like a paci but the "nipple" part is textured. Google it. I've never seen anything like it.
Speaking of teething-I think Addie is. She has been drooling like crazy & gnawing on her hands. Also very fussy, sleeps alot and is eating less. It seems so early to me-Braxton didnt get his first tooth until he was 7 months. But then again I've heard that babies can teeth for months before the tooth actually pops thru. We'll see! :)
Cloth diapers!
I bought 2 off Craigslist:
-A brand new bumGenious (PINK) AIO (size small)
-(Not sure of the brand) Bamboo fitted diaper...still need a cover for it. I'm thinking of buying one from Blueberry Diapers. (They are SUPER cute!)
I ordered a OS pocket diaper on E-bay for super cheap which I have recently been informed is a really crappy brand...haha, so its a good thing I only paid like $6 for it.
I bought another off E-bay, its a Bubele I believe. I got it on Cyber Monday so it was 50% off. ($9) I should have bought more...its a pink & brown polka dot (minky? I think?) AIO OS.
Now I just need about 8-10 more before we can start CD'ing full time! I'm also bidding on several other CD on Ebay...so hopefully I win some! I'm hoping to win some goodmamas and fuzzi bunz!
Is it weird I'm actually EXCITED about this?! :)
