Alright ya'll, as you read this I am currently en route to Atlanta to shower my best friend for her baby shower! I am so pumped because 6 of us are reuniting from college and staying at her house for the weekend. I haven't been to Atlanta in quite some time and some of these ladies I haven't seen in over a year! Can we say ultimate catch-up/girls weekend AND showering that sweet baby boy that's due in a couple months? Yes please! So I'm sure you're like...ok so what. Well, I need your prayers...not only for safety but for sanity. I've decided to leave Miss Andi behind and at 8 months old, I have NEVER left her overnight. I know she will be fine with her daddy or with my Mama because they are fabulous together but I can't help but feel a slight feeling of guilt. She is my stage 5 clinger and we spend every single day together. I just pray that everything goes smoothly. Ah! This is going to be so weird and I know I'll miss her so much. (Hubs works for the railroad so his schedule is completely crazy - that's why she may have to stay elsewhere but we have all bases covered!)
Because of this trip, we introduced formula last week since I don't have a huge frozen supply of my breast milk. We are still nursing, I just needed a supplement. Luckily, like everything else so far, she took it like a champ! She is eating 3 meals a day with 2-3 nursing sessions and a formula bottle at naptime and bedtime. I'm so thankful we've successfully breastfed for almost 8 months but it is nice to know that I don't have to panic about not having a built-up supply. Like I said, I know she'll be fine....I'm just worried about me! Watch - I'll have too much wine and cry over missing my child (haha I can see it now) I do need the girl time though and cannot wait to see these fabulous ladies!
Thank ya'll and have a fantastic weekend!
