It has taken me a week to add to this post. I have been sitting on a draft with just the title since the 13th...anyway, Owen has finally slowed down and is napping so I can post. I have been wondering when and how to wean Owen. It is finally taking its toll on me...I love nursing him, it is just my fault for "accidental parenting" him at night I guess. I am exhausted all of the time b/c of our sleeping arrangement. Yesterday I fell asleep at the movies watching "Semi Pro" with Jeff. As you can tell by my use of the phrase "accidental parenting" I have been researching the topic. I think the "
Baby Whisperer" is a moron. She actually recommends getting in your baby's crib when he cries instead of picking him up. Uh, that is just silly. So, to get Owen to sleep longer I am giving him a bath before bed and feeding him a bowl of cereal to fill him up in case he is waking up hungry. He slept from 9 to 3am last night and from then on it was flip flop city all over mommy. I do not really want to stop nursing, but I do not know how to stop the night time craziness.
Christy and Ben are in town for spring break and we have been having a great time. I said this last time she was here but it is so wonderful having a sister in town!! I will post some pictures later on.
Remember the band WEEN? They are what half my brain is thinking of when I talk about weaning Owen. Kind of weird actually.
