Here are some posts I’ve been meaning to write. Maybe I’ll get around to them someday…
– The Birthday Party (yeah, probably not; the short story: it was in a park, it was a good party, the sad part of the story was that Abby’s cake got destroyed on the way to the park, so she didn’t have one of the individual building block cakes like Sam and Ellie had, even though I stayed up late and made her one. I was sad. Otherwise, the party was a smashing success)
– State of ADHD / LD Treatment (I definitely need to write this one; Reader’s Digest Version: We switched medicines again, this is going well, but J’s still not eating much, which is not great. He’s otherwise doing well, and we had a great team meeting with the Dev. Pediatrician, his teacher and the school director. He’s also doing well with speech therapy and making some good progress. I’ll give more info in an actual post)
– State of Future Fertility Treatment (Also a definite future post – short story, Maryland mandatory insurance coverage is only sort of mandatory, which sucks. Postponing future fertility treatment until the start of next year. Yes, I’m still crazy enough to want another baby.)
– When are you going to Wean Already? (Never! Okay, not never, but it seems that way. I thought they were ready to wean, but then as soon as I said the word out loud, Sam and Ellie started nursing with a vengeance. Not surprisingly, this coincided with the day I took away the bottles. Well, I guess I just pretty much told you what I needed to tell you, so I guess I don’t need to write a post. Anywhozit, I guess I’ll be weaning between now and January. But I’m still going to stop pumping soon, even if Sam and Ellie aren’t weaned yet, even though that DOES seem a bit unfair to Abby.)
– On the SuperMom Phenomenon (not me, everyone else)
– An UnPrecedented Political Post (may never happen, but it might. I’ve never done this before, but for once in my life I actually CARE about politics)
– FAQ’s and also an opportunity for you to ask your burning questions. Actually, go ahead and do that. Do you have any questions for me? Anything you’ve been wondering about triplet mamahood? Or about me in general or about ADHD or about life as a kooky supermom with a cape (remember Edna’s words of advice, “No Capes!” Capes are the downfall of every superhero!)? People have asked me all sorts of things from what the sleep deprivation (you just do) is like to how I deal with three babies crying at once (mine rarely do that) to where I find my baby food recipes (who needs a recipe?) to what my favorite part of being a mom is (I have to pick one favorite part? Crazy talk!). So go ahead and ask away!
I’m so sorry her cake was ruined! I’m sure they had a fabulous time anyway!
ps: I’ve tagged you to share 7 things about yourself! You can check out my 7 things here.
I am also on the weaning bandwagon. So nice to hear from you again.
The cake Abby dived into was cute enough. Sorry about her cake, though.
Looking forward to hearing about your battle with ADHD. I’m on ritalin now…
Good luck with the weaning. I know you feel guilty about Abby not getting the good stuff, but pumping seems soooo stressful to me, and your sanity is definitely an important consideration.
As for baby food – my favorite recipe is mushing whatever was in the chicken soup that I made for Shabbat.
Weaning my daughter was so hard for me. I was the one holding on not her. I loved the closeness that she and I had together when she nursed. I finally cut her off at 13+ months. But I have to say that being able to breastfeed her for that long was one of the accomplishments in my life that I am most proud of. So, I can understand why you don’t want it to end.
I don’t have any burning questions. You give me enough to chew on just day to day. But I am pausing to think about being crazy enough to want another child under the circumstances! And do you know what? I think you might also be crazy enough to make it work. 😀
