new stuff

okay...so first of all i have stopped breastfeeding. i started about a week ago with just BF the first feeding of the day. (the theory being that he was getting gasey from BF, so i'd rather him just be a little gasey during the day, instead of at night) So yeah, did that for like 2,3 days and then just cut it out all together. Finally my boobs arent super engorged and killing me. Now they just look extra perky...lol. i'm sure that'll go away in a day or so and then i'll be flappin in the wind..haha. (i'm hoping not though). I really do think Landon is so much less gasey now. I really didnt want to stop, but i wanted to do what was best for him--usually that's BF, but not for my little man anymore...at least i got to 6 1/2 months...He's drinking enfamil gentleease (for fussy/gasey babies) whew...Will didnt realize how expensive formula feeding really was. Landon will at least now usually get a 4-5 hour stretch first thing at night...down at 7 up at usually 12, then up again 4,5 and then again 6 or 7 for the day...We're trying to keep a better schedule during the day too....so things are looking up.

We got back from NC monday evening. We started in Charlotte saw Will's bro's family and new baby, then went by my bro's family. So much fun seeing everyone. Then we went up to chapel hill/durham area. I had an interview at UNC L&D dept-it went well, i'm pretty sure i'll be offered the position but am waiting for their call. We also went down to look around at the area and houses...monday after my interview we went to look by one other developement and sure enough we found one we like and "drum roll please"....we reserved a lot and "purchased" a house. Meaning there is a little deposit put down and soon there will be a BIG transfer of money going on. The dev. is in southern Durham near a brand new mall and recently built up area. Very nice...thats what i most like about the house--the location. Its also on a cult-de-sac and we have a nice big backyard...the house itself is nice-not as big as i'd like but when we're going to be living on one salary-mine-for a year, it'll do.

Other news about Landon- he's crawling all over the place, and pulling to standing on everything. He's "talking" alot more too. He's eating stage 2s morning and night and loves them. I gotta go, the baby beckons....
