Eight Months Already!
Next week little miss piggy (Gabi0 will be 8 months and I'm surprised I've been breastfeeding for just as long. I plan to wean her at one unless her teeth become an issue and she has several teeth already with more sprouting out like every other week (literally).
Since she's been teething I haven't gotten as much rest as normal. She's been waking up a couple times throughout the night which is making me restless. Not only am I tired from lack of sleep but my body is trying to keep up with her demands of milk. I have been pretty close to quitting and closing up the milk machine (its gotten that frustrating) and having monthly visits from "aunt flo." I wasn't one of the lucky ones with a delayed start of menstruating - I got mine back at 8 wks post-partum.
Miss Piggy and her monster brother seem to get along fine. Gabi is pretty fiesty and likes to have things go her way - but there's a problem with that... so does big brother Willie. He wants things his way too. People have been warning me about when they get older - how they will argue and get on my nerves. Somedays I can see that and others not necessarily.
There age difference may have something to do with it. I'm not to happy on the age gap even though some say it will benefit me sooner than later. I'm still in shock over the fact that I have kids at all. I'm not putting myself down when I say this but I never saw myself as the mothering type (lol). My boyfriend is a great father to his children and has always said that he wanted kids - in which it shows.
I completely understand why my mother only wanted one child but some say you're not really a parent unless you have more than one. Basically I got in trouble for everything since I could blame anyone else. The bottom line: I got my work cut out for me...for a long time
