Yay, lots of good news.

My Mom came home from the hospital last Thursday, the last day that I posted. They shocked her heart and it worked so they sent her home several hours later. She still isn't doing so great, though. Occasionally her heart goes into A-fib and she is tired all the time. I'm going up several times a day to help her with various things and take her places. I hope she starts improving soon.

JZ is 99% weaned! Friday night was the end of my rope. He woke up about 1:30 to nurse and suddenly I realized why I really do not enjoy nursing him. He has this annoying habit of latching on for a minute, nursing then pulling off for a minute. Latching on again, pulling off. On and off for 20 min straight. Usually I eventually put an end to it when I get fed up but Friday night at 1:30 in the morning I'd had all I could take. I was done. Dh took him for awhile and rocked him to sleep. We were up from 1:30 until 5:30. We would just get him to sleep and lay him down and he would wake up. I won't tell you what I eventually did because it isn't pc but he eventually got exhausted enough that he stayed asleep.

Since then he hasn't even asked to nurse at night. I can't say our nights are any better than when I was nursing him but at least dh can take him and he won't throw a fit. He asks sometimes during the day but I just sign all gone and get him a drink or food and he does fine. For the most part he really doesn't get upset when I won't let him nurse. Over all it went much easier than I thought it would. I did let him nurse on Sunday and then again this morning because I was full but I suspect it will be the last time.

So, overall I'm getting a bit more sleep. I was awake from 2:30-5:30 Tuesday morning but it wasn't his fault. I just couldn't sleep. I slept good last night.

So the last bit of good news is that my house work is all caught up. It's cluttered and my fridge desperately needs to be cleaned out but it's all stuff that would only take about a few hours and then it would be all clean. But my laundry is all caught up and all the organizing is done. My next big project is to get some curtains on all the windows. I think my kids would appreciate that! After that I want to clean all the carpets.
