    Its going.  I don't think I'm enjoying it as much as I used to.  He's SO distracted!  He comes on and off every 10 seconds.  Drives me bananas cause he's the one who came up to

    How is everything going? It is going alright. I EP and manage to make just enough so I am usually stressed about having an off day. Also, DH really wants me to stop and just switch to formula, which is annoying.

    Holy crap its been 8 almost 9 months! Can you believe you've made it this far? Not really.  I've been on a dairy-free, soy-free diet for six months.  It sucks.  ;-)   (DS2 is 8.5 months old)
