So far night-weaning has been successfull!! (fingers crossed, knock on wood) It was really not hard, so I assume Daegan was ready. I told him "milk went night-night" and he would cry but roll over and fall asleep on his own....without patting! It took about 3 days of waking every few hours and saying the same thing, but he was sleeping through the night less than a week after starting! Thank goodness for small favors!!!!!!!! (ok a really big favor I know).
Daycare situation was updated in my tantrum thread....basically it still sucks and I have had some issues lately with the way they are handling things (biting, staff, etc). Home care is looking like a real option at this point....at least temporarily....our babysitter (who was his daycare teacher last year for a few months) is pregnant and must quit her job at the daycare (unmarried and church-based).....she said she'd love to watch him! Yay! I'm going to call her this week to make sure she's cool with the $$ and hours we talked about....and hopefully that will be in place within the month. She's due in January like me, so I'll be stuck then, but at least it gives me time to figure something else out.
Russ and I are doing great! We both want to get walking again (I've felt so crappy I haven't done anything....and he's sympathy eating for me!) and that really does WONDERS for our relationship. We also got Mario Galaxy (from iMSN recommendations) and it's great b/c I can play with him adn Daegan finds it entertaining!
Pregnancy wise I feel like crap most of the time. I'm tired, physically and emotionally drained....I'm also nauseated about 75% of the day, but not throwing up which is good....though sometimes I think it would make me feel better. I've been wanting to cook all this great food, and I buy it....and then dinner time comes and I can't stomach the thought of preparing something.....so I end up eating takeout or nothing or pizza...and the food ends up going bad. Oh well. I'm learning not to buy ahead of time...and I'm trying to come up with easier to make dishes so I don't have to spend as much time looking at ingredients. I've also caved on my no HFCS kick and bought some Saltines and GingerAle to get me through the rough times. Getting a full night sleep is helping though, so I'm hoping that will continue.
Anyway, overall I feel like life is good eventhough there are some rough spots...which is a great feeling!
