I wanted to update my blog but couldn't really think of a topic, so here are 5 random things from today.
1. Gryffin had a check-up today to see where we are with his hemoglobin, and it is up to 11! That is normal! So no more anemic baby. He has gained 13 oz in 3 weeks and has completely regained his appetite. So thankful!
2. My biggest pet peeve right now is this: when talking about my breastfeeding relationship with Gryffin and the amount of time that he nursed, please do not tell me "you are so lucky" or that I should be "grateful that it worked out." Would you tell someone that recently lost a lot of weight that they are lucky? Or would you tell them good job and congratulate them on a job well done? Yes. Having a successful, long term nursing experience is not luck and it doesnt just happen. I find it very rude when people write off my hard work and determination. I wanted it to work and so I did everything in my power to succeed. Don't rebound your own issues on to me and demean my efforts. I have never worked so hard or sacrificed so much as I did in order to successfully nourish my child for 13 months in the safest and most natural way possible. Ok, end rant.
3. I have been taking a women's multivitamin for a little over a week now and feel amazing! I wonder what I was missing that had me dragging for so long...?
4. Watched Wanderlust and The Woman in Black over the weekend, the first one was hilarious, second one has a seriously crappy ending.
5. Since I started working, I have been making our breakfast for the week on sunday nights.
mini omelets: whip up eggs, splash of milk, salt, and pepper, and pour into greased muffin tins.
add whatever omelet toppings you like, I add sausage crumbles, baby spinach,
and pepperjack cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes at 350. Bam! You have super
tastey, and portable egg muffin thingys for breakfast. I put them in a ziploc and just
throw one in the microwave each morning. Good way to start the day with protien.
