So cute! That is awesome.

Thanks, BabySmurf, that's very helpful. I just don't think I have it in me to tandem nurse. I am really ready for a break. It stresses me out to feel like she is so much more dependent on me than on DH--even though I love nursing in...

I definitely have at least a touch of HSP-ness. I am very sensitive to stimuli and easily overwhelmed, which means I've been like a lazy, grouchy old lady since I was twelve. Isn't it crazy how anxiety and sleeplessness heighten...
