38 today

That's me. 38 years old today. Eeek.

With all that's been going on - ya know, birthin' a baby and such - I forgot that my birthday was coming up. Well, I knew it was coming, but not quite this soon. And since I got my present 3 weeks ago, it seems a bit anti-climatic this year.

The critter gave me a lovely present - a great night last night. She is getting up to 4 hours between feedings at least once each night for the last few nights, and then goes straight to sleep. Bliss! With Mr. P taking the 7-11:30 shift (when I sleep and he bottle feeds pumped milk) and only up twice during the night to nurse and change diapers, I feel sort of rested. A great gift to me, thank you little Critter Girl.

And she feels heavier, I'm thinking she has gotten over 10lbs now. She feels heavier than the fluffy Umps (my cat, who is about 10 lbs) and she continues to eat well. Breast feeding is going ok, my nipples are still on-and-off sore, and the supply is still strong. But she is clearly getting what she needs from me, so that is good stuff. Another good present to me.
