This really really resonated with me casina. You really have a way with words.

sarita, i agree the rainbow lite prenatals are awesome & i ate nut butters in the middle of the night when preggo w? both girls. just a spoonfull or 2 when i got up to pee.

leah - maybe she wants something that is *hers* and she hides so she doesnt have to share?? totally guessing.

Hope you're hanging in there, Rynna...

Who is still nursing their 11-12/02 babes??? Zachary has been "mostly weaned" since February of last year, and he still asks daily for a little nip of the bobby. He'll latch on for a few seconds at a time, or say "I just kissin' them". He likes touching them too, asking if I have more milk in them yet. (To anyone who has never breastfed this must sound so horrible...) I was just wondering if anyone else's littles are still asking for the boob. Mine is still very much a boob-addict.

Zachary is starting to understand sarcasm and it is so much fun! I joke with him and he's joking back now. Both Z and J have both started saying "Hey, *I* have an idea..." with such enthusiasm. I am really really enjoying this age!!!

BeanBean pets my nursies all the time, and wants to kiss them constantly. He knows that the milk will come with the new baby, and occasionally reminds me that I promised him that he could have a nursie when BellyBean arrives. It's not every day at this point anymore, but I think that's more of a tribute to his maturity than his desire not to nurse. BooBah couldn't care less. It's still completely insane to me that I've got a 3 year old who would still nurse every day if I had milk, while my 20 month old is more interested in sticking things into her belly button and sucking her thumb than nursing...

He may change his mind after the baby is born, or try nursing again and decide he doesn't like it... but I doubt it. I know that BooBah will not nurse, or that if she tries it she'll laugh and walk away, but BeanBean still seems very interested in the nursies. He likes to sleep next to them, and occasionally falls asleep petting them. Silly Bean.

My van looks like it's on schedule, repair-wise. That means I could concievably be driving it by Friday. I want to get excited, but I'm afraid to because every time I start to be remotely happy about something, more crap happens.

Mariah is still nursing.

Good to hear from you Amy y

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get your car back and everything quiets down for awhile, Rynna. :

I almost wish I could start nursing Zachary again... I have gained 10 pounds since I stopped making milk. I can't wait till I start nursing my next babe and the weight just falls off, lol.

Owen weaned right before he turned 2. I miss it a lot, but he self weaned and it couldn't have been more perfect. I have no regrets since it was all Owen-led. I actually asked him the other day if he missed having nummies or if he likes his orange juice better and he said he liked his orange juice. LOL He has no regrets either, I guess.
