Miss Mia turned 6 months on the 26th! It's amazing to think that, not only do I have a child, but that child is now 6 months old! My little nina still is having sleeping issues. She's doing better at being on a schedule for naps during the day, but she's not sleeping at night. Steve has taken to sleeping on the floor in her room because she is up so many times. I pray that this is a quick-lived phase. She still loves her green beans much more than any fruits. During the day, Steve feeds her a bowl of cereal. Then, in the evening, I feed her a bowl of cereal with fruit mixed in and about 2-3 teaspoons of a veggie.
I'm now totally done breast feeding. It's still weird knowing I don't need to get up in the middle of the night to pump - or plan my trips around pumping times! I'm also back on full dosage of my meds. It wasn't nearly as horrid this time as it was the first time I started on the meds. I just continue to feel guilty knowing I chose my meds of breastfeeding. But - then I start to think of how good I've felt the past two weeks (not a migraine in sight) and how being migraine-free is so much better for Amelia than me breastfeeding. She still gets the breast milk I've frozen; and alternate between formula and breast milk. I also think of the positives - getting formula ensures that she's getting her vitamin D every day.
I've also started working out - my goal is to try for a workout once a day. I would love to say that my goal is high school weight, but I don't see that. So, we'll say it's to slim down, eat better, and continue working out. Any weight I lose will be a bonus, and help me keep away from diabetes in the future!
Now, I sit here wishing it were after midnight so I could go crawl in bed. I am so tired - I was up at 5 so I could work out before work.
