I'll start off with the big news - I'm pregnant again!!!! We're so excited and are so looking forward to a new baby. I'm thrilled that Ariella will have a sibling. Baby 2.0 is due on 12/25/11!
Once I was pregnant, my milk supply plummeted. We hung on with breastfeeding in the morning and at night for as long as we could. Then, we reduced to only in the morning. Then, only once every couple of days. And, now I'm totally dried up. I didn't intend to wean, but I figured there was no point in trying to increase my supply. Some women just lose supply when they get pregnant (a lot don't, but some do, and I was apparently one that did). I'm thrilled with how well we did with breastfeeding - made it to 14 1/2 months! And, I didn't have to deal with any engorgement at all with weaning.
Last Friday, I transitioned Ariella from the bottle to sippy cups for her milk. She's getting the evaporated organic goat's milk (which is supposedly closer to breast milk and has fewer hormones in it).
Ariella has also been sleeping much better. I don't dare call it yet, but the past 3 nights she has completely been sleeping through the night - 6am, 4am, 6:30am this morning. She hasn't been waking up at 2am - yay for me (especially since I really need my sleep now in this first trimester).
Ariella now has 5 teeth - her bottom 2 front teeth at Halloween, her top 2 front teeth several weeks ago, and 1 bottom tooth to the right of her front ones this past weekend. Only the bottom 2 front teeth are all the way in. The others are still coming in.
Last Saturday I restarted Ariella in her MyGym classes. I'll take her on Saturdays at 9:15am now. Her first class back she was a bit overwhelmed. She clung to me quite a bit and was sort of in awe of all the other babies. The age range is 14 months to 2 1/2 years, so she's the youngest one, and the only non-walker. I kind of wish she had been more in the middle age-wise, but she still had a ton of fun. After a while, she really got into some of the activities, and she crawled all over the place, and pulled up and such.
Speaking of crawling, have I mentioned that she can finally crawl!!! She crawls and then when she's about 2 feet short of where she wants to go, she switches to her sitting scoot. She is too cute. She's also pulling up on everything, and she loves emptying out mommy and daddy's clothes from the drawers.
So, that's the scoop - lots of new things here lately.
