Sure do love my boys!!! And WARNING... You may see BOOBS in this post =)

  • OK, so I figured since my last post was pretty depressing, I'd blog again today since I'm in a better mood. =)
Today was "Family Day" for Justin's work. I was dreading going because I do not like anyone he works with. While we were there I was pretty bored. We just ate and then Corbin got fussy. We were supposed to stay until 4:30, but we told his gunny we needed to leave because the baby was fussy and hungry. lol... It was true! So we left about 1:30 and spent the rest of the day together, just us three. And I LOVED it!!!! I needed it so bad!!! We came back to the apt and Justin made tacos while I nursed Corbin, then we went to a little town called Bethel and had ice cream outside. There is a little shop called Dr. Mike's Ice Cream Shop and they make homemade ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. It was so good! Corbin was so good too! He just sat in his seat and looked around until he fell asleep.
Tonight was so much easier with Justin home. I think Corbin must be able to tell when I'm stressed out at night time.

  • I've been losing weight. I'm down to 150 lbs, but it's because I have not been eating that much. It worries me because I'm scared I won't have enough milk for Corbin. Nursing him is my most favorite thing ever! It's so rewarding. I really won't care if people talk shit about us if we are still nursing when he's 2!!! I know I'm giving him the best milk possible and that makes me happy. I'm not going to wean him. I'm going to let him choose when the time is right.  I LOVE when he's in the middle of nursing and he stops and looks up at me and smiles. It's like he is saying, "Thank you, mommy." Gah! Makes my heart melt! Justin is so supportive and that really helps. Next Saturday, Aug 4, is the day for "The Big Latch On." I'm super excited about being around other nursing moms who believe in the same thing as me. After the Latch On, Corbin and I are having a Mommy-Son Breast feeding photo shoot. I'm very excited about this! It's the one thing that I'll never be able to do again with him. Once he's older, I'll never have this chance again. I love our bonding time together when he's nursing. He looks so peaceful and I get to forget about all my stress and worries and just focus on him.

So... I've come to realize that I don't have to cover up when I'm nursing. So, if boobs offend you, please leave my blog now because you are about to get really offended!!! lol
Nursing my baby is the most natural thing in the world and it still amazes me everyday that I can keep him alive all by myself. No formula needed. No other food source, just me. And I love that.

I love the milk all over his mouth! haha

Love his little baby hands!





House update....

Ok, we have 3 house payments every month. My house in Pink Hill is $560. Justin's house payment is $1,100. AND our rent payment here in CT is $2,100 EVERY month. PLUS we have 3 electric and water bills.... So... we are forking out A LOT of money every month and we aren't even using those houses.
Today, our realtor called and said she MIGHT be able to rent out Justin's house if we lower the rent price to $900. Of course we said yes. Getting $900 a month is better than nothing!
I really hope this works out and we can get it rented out ASAP! It will make my life so much easier!
Now, we just need to sell my house...

Well, It's almost 11 pm so I better go get some sleep before Corbin wakes up for his next feeding.
Tomorrow, we are spending the day together as a family and hopefully getting some stuff done around the apartment. I'm ready to finally be unpacked and stop living out of boxes! lol
