Only thrity-six days left of my baby being a BABY! OMG that scares me.
But the writing IS on the wall. She is now (kind of sort of almost perfectly) using a sippy cup with whole milk in it. She is going 14 hours at night with no breast-feeding. She is sleeping 12 hours straight (added just in case you haven't read my last 3 million posts on sleep). She walks up to about 12 steps before falling. She feeds herself most of the time (and definitely prefers that to me feeding her). She flirts. She responds to us and seems to understand most of everything we say. She says Dada, Mama, Nine (sounds German, unsure exactly what she means. Possibly no because it usually comes out when she is mad). I think she is saying kitty cat (sounds like 'kekeka").
Having a toddler sounds so odd.
My supply is definitely waning. She will nurse for an hour trying to milk me more. Evidently the up all night nursing fests were what was keeping my supply up. So it is for sure the beginning of the end here - thus why we are introducing small amounts (1-3 oz total for the day) of whole milk now so she can start getting used to it (my pediatrician recommended it!).
Once we have fully weaned I will let my body adjust for a few months and then it is time to get re-checked with the RE. I am DYING to know what my FSH level is. It was always around 7 until our IVF cycle when it was like 11.2. We had 19 eggs retrieved so I evidently have eggs...I hope that number was a fluke and it's back down to normal. Also hubs needs to have a new SA - I know those results can change greatly both negatively and positively over time.
Have a great day after election day! We have a playdate with some friends today.
