I hate nursing strikes

Mori just went two days without nursing. This has happened twice, now. Once when she had her ear infection, where she would latch on but not suckle, and now yesterday and today where she wouldn't even get near it. We've decided that she's teething her top teeth, and it's been hell. Today was horrible. I actually called Ben home from work around 5... on his way he got infant tylenol, and it seems to have worked. Tonight before bed, she nursed for a good half hour, and I couldn't believe how happy I was. She's nursing again! She had me scared.

Because of these last two days, however, the house is a mess. >.< The counters are clean, though. The counters are clean.

Apparently Fuzzy and I are No More (tm.). I'm sad, but not quite heartbroken. We've grown apart. I actually told him I felt like i'd outgrown him, but upon hindsight maybe that wasn't the best way to put it. More like we've just taken different roads and they're not meeting up anymore.

Currently on the needles is the second mitt from the Cabled Knit fingerless gloves. I do believe i'm going to keep the first one (numerous mistakes that are apparent), give Ashley the 2nd and 3rd one, and then make a 4th one for me to match the first one. Make sense? Good? Good.

Rainbow Pediatrics

I just called a pedi for Mori, to have her (much delayed) 6-month checkup. I was actually very happily surprised with the receptionist. There was a bit of a hold time, but then she took all our info and actually called me back instead of putting me back on hold. Mori has an appointment with a nurse pract. in a week.

They also didn't get pissy about not vax'ing. I was just told there would be a form to sign if we chose not to vax.

This is the first pedi phone call i've had that didn't involve me getting ticked...

Blast from the past...

Going through my Hotmail email, I found an email from an old ex from high school with his phone number in it. He was really cool... and I suddenly decided to call him, despite it being more than two years since we've spoken.

I just got off the phone with him, and I think it went well. Not many of those "Silences". Hopefully we can keep in touch. He was cool.

So that's my random, wild and reckless thing for this month.

Siiiiiiiimba

The Lion King is coming to Columbus in August. We are SO going. I don't care if I have to go sell myself on the corner in order to get tickets, this is one of my last chances to see it and WE ARE GOING.

End of story.

Haahahahahaha.
