Little time to post since Dex has been in the swing since 1230 and its 215. Im sure hell be up soon. I wonder if its bad that I let him sleep in the swing? I tried to stop it the other day when I noticed he was sleeping and he screamed his little head off and I couldnt get him back in swing mode. We just got it last week from a coworker of Jasons and Dexter fought it the first few times we put him in. Even now he cries when he gets in and I have to hold the pacifier in his mouth while he swings for a few minutes to get him to accept that this is what we are doing. He then spits out the pacifier and is content.

I am way excited for this nap though. I did a load of laundry and kicked some major ass in our kitchen. I cleaned off the left side counters and the stove. I wiped these areas down. Wiped the front of the stove down and the front of two cupboards down. I also unloaded the dishwasher and loaded and ran it. I swept but it needs a good one and a mopping. I also cleaned the sink and wiped it down. Our kitchen still is a wreck but I put a great big dent in it :)

Last night was excellent. Jason surprised me with Little Marks Big Barbecue. It was our anniversary - three years - yesterday and Little Marks catered our wedding. He also brought home a bottle of Chianti dated 2004 and a bunch of purple flowers. Wonderful. Very thoughtful. We dont normally celebrate our anniversary and I didnt think we would do anything this year especially. It was very sweet of him and after what weve been through I was very grateful.

Breastfeeding is going well. Im tempted to put a limit of two months on it if it doesnt let up though. I plan on going back to work at the end of August so he needs to adjust to being out of my arms for at least 5 hours. I want to pump but I cant right now since hes eating so frequently. I want to breastfeed for at least a year but I didnt plan on it being so time consuming. I hate the idea of filling his tummy with the formula since he has such issues with digestion anyhow (between the gas and reflux while Im breastfeeding I can just imagine the pain hed be in if I did formula instead). Things might change though. My new goal is 8wks. I heard one woman that pretty much had my experience and said things turned around at 8 wks.

Ok - hes up! Im off!
