I started on Saturday night to wean Maggie off her night feedings. I'd been doing it up until this point, because she just got used to only nursing once during the day.
I was prepared for screaming, crying, big tears.
I was prepared for super mad baby.
She woke up Saturday around midnight. I went to her room, picked her up, gave her her binky, rocked her for a minute, and then laid her back down.
She cried.
For about 15 seconds.
Then nothing.
She woke up again about 4:30.
Repeat.
She didn't cry at all.
Then LAST NIGHT.
She SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
And so did PJ.
And me? I woke up at least 4 or 5 times because I'm having some TMI issues I'm not going to share, although it is concerning me a bit.
Anyway, I'm SUPER glad that Mags is accepting this. She has one more week of nursing before bed, and then I'm cutting that out as well. She's going down for naps fine without it, and I think when she's tired, she's tired. So my birthday gift to myself is getting my boobies back.
How LOG got her Boobies Back.
That should be a new movie.
The O'Gs. No, not the Original Gangstas. But close.

Poop and Pull-ups are not a good combination.
PJ pees in the toliet like a champ. He stands up, makes it in the toliet, flushes.
He won't tell us when he has to pee. He has no problem pee through is big boy underwear. He does say "uh-oh!" when he does it. And having him clean it up? Yeah, he thinks that's fun.
But the kid won't even ATTEMPT to poop on the potty.
Which leads to poop in the pull-up.
Which, my friends, is pretty damn gross.
He's going to be wearing pull-ups at the sitter starting this week, so I am hoping that will help him start telling us when he has to pee. I realize the poop might take awhile. I'm fine with that. That means he can't really wear underwear, but I think maybe pooping in underwear might actually bother him? Anyone? Bueller?
Bit of info on pull-ups -- if you get them through Subscribe & Save at Amazon, it's like $14 for a box of 72 Pull-ups, which is a good $10 less than you'd pay at Target. And there's no tax and free shipping.
PJ also decided last night for the first time to come to our room when he woke up.
I have a terrible earache, so when he woke I went and laid with him for awhile. I went back upstairs to our room. About 10 minutes later I heard something that I thought I was on the monitor, but it sounded clearer. I went to our bedroom door, opened it and there was PJ, holding Handy Manny looking just adorable.
Mind you, there's 13 stairs to our bedroom.
If it happens again I'll go back to his room with him, but I was in so much pain, I just brought him in our bed. But he was so damn cute holding Manny and just standing at the door.
Every now and then he sleeps all night. I keep thinking something must be waking him, but maybe he's just one of those kids that wakes up.
I have to start weaning Mags off night feedings. This should be fun. My supply is dropping and although we're already doing half breastmilk half cow's milk for her bottles, the not feeding her at night is going to be a tough process.
The good news though? I'm down to two pumps a day! HALLELUJAH THE END IS NEAR!
