Baby Reed

Today is my Friday...YAH! I get three whole days ahead with Mr. Bobby and I can't wait! We have been on the go for several weeks straight now (with the passing of my gramp RIP) so this is the first weekend we were can just kick back and relax. I want to let Bobby nap when he wants to...eat whenever he wants to...and have no formal schedule (instead of me feeling like I am dragging him from place to place to do things that accommodate MY schedule). I do have one thing on the list for this weekend...but it truly is for him...3 month pictures tomorrow! I can not tell you how excited I am for them! I don't have a whole lot of ideas or creativity (being a rookie and all) but I am thinking we can't go wrong with naked pictures at this age. So stayed tuned for some earth shattering cuteness coming your way!

In other news (which I am behind in reporting, as usual) Bobby gave me a scare last week. He decided randomly on Saturday that he hated me and that he didn't want to nurse anymore. I freaked out of course and tried desperately with no luck to nurse for the next four days...before we finally had a break through and he got back on schedule. That is after a frantic call to St. Francis and some good ole' tips from the lactation specialists. They called it a "nursing strike". When a baby anywhere from 3-8 months suddenly refuses the breast (without any reasonable excuse of being ill, or the milk tasting bad etc). Thank goodness the strikes usually don't last long...and according to the lady "babies will always prefer to breastfeed over the bottle, they are born to nurse". Well I love that in theory...but boy was I scared our nursing days were coming to an end whether I liked it or not. But I just kept pumping and kept offering it to him and finally we got somewhere! I don't think I will ever take nursing for granted again. I love the bonding of breastfeeding and this whole experience just reaffirms to me that I am not ready to quit ANY time soon.

Now on to some cuteness...sorry these aren't very good...but they will get you through...Enjoy your weekend.
