Ahh family - no one can quite drive us insane in quite the same way, huh? I hope the breastfeeding continues to go okay - I'll be coming to you for advice soon :-) I feel like I'm going to be clueless.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816972200056579468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015494190935729287.post-18347215523697883892008-10-01T11:10:00.000-04:002008-10-01T11:10:00.000-04:00You and I have similar personalities, though you p...You and I have similar personalities, though you probably know that already. At this point, I am still obsessing over the minutia of every ache and cramp in the hopes that they are signs of impending labor. Since they clearly are not, this endeavor leaves me frustrated and annoyed. I can only look forward to what I will focus on once LL's here. :-)<BR/><BR/>The visit from your father sounds like it will be challenging. Family dynamics - and dramas - are always the most stressful because they are so close and tied up with lots of old and new feelings. Try to find as many opportunities as you can that don't involve chatting. Distractions - like fixing things - are a great plan!<BR/><BR/>XOXOLIW (Lady In Waiting)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06199047053421154823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015494190935729287.post-69078804906027962442008-10-01T08:12:00.000-04:002008-10-01T08:12:00.000-04:00Good luck with your Dad's visit.

That way you can see exactly how much she takes in (and, maybe, you can even scatter plot it vs. time at breast. not that I am encouraging or anything...).Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015494190935729287.post-92225811339792710722008-09-26T18:48:00.000-04:002008-09-26T18:48:00.000-04:00good luck with the bf-ing.

But i am told if you have appropriate diapers of poo/pee which you seem to be having and weight gain all is dandy!
