Birthday party
We'll be celebrating 's first birthday on November 11th. One of the plans for when he turned one was to move him into his own bedroom. A little while back, we decided to move him into his own room at 11 months. And now
and I are sleeping in his room, because we don't have it ready the way I want it to be for him, so we're giving him our bedroom, so that we can try to start getting a full night's sleep. Which is to say, I am night weaning him. Which is to say, I have a fricking clogged boob. This is just what's on my mind, not a party. So it is what it is. I guess I should have planned better. How could I have thought it would be okay to go 11 hours without nursing him, when we've never gone longer than about 6 before? I should have had a plan in place to pump. It's not the end of the world. I've dealt with clogged ducts before, much earlier in our nursing life. And basically Lochlan just managed to work them out for me. But now, since I'm still not nursing him through the night, I'm trying to do a little pumping, and trying massage, and trying moist warm compress. But it's still pretty blocked up. Hard to party. I was just so excited to start getting more sleep. And I still am. This shall pass.
