This week has gotten away so fast!

So let me throw out a huge bellowing shout of "FREEDOM!!"
Mike gave me a day of me yesterday, all day. Which meant no nursing for Aislinn. She in the past would take the bottle about an ounce at a time.
She took 4 ounces TWICE at one time!! AND
Today she took 6 ounces from me! I'm almost home! Hurray!!! I'm so thankful she likes her new milk! So I didn't get her on the sippee with milk, but she will drink the heck out of water, so that should be no problem when switching to milk in a couple of months. I always start mixing for them at 11 1/2 months, the formula and milk so that milk is their drink at 12 months.
So, I have to slowly wean her. With Teagan, she did the weaning on her own until the end and I cut off the feedings and then had to pump twice for relief, and with Riordan the pump was my tool the whole time for weaning. So in order to feel the least amount of discomfort and not to get mastitis I know the best way is to do it slowly. Night feedings out for over a week now, I can now cut out another feeding! Seriously, I am so excited to have my body back!!
My computer is in the shop till next week, so I don't have much access to the computer right now. Please pray that the harddrive isn't destroyed. I never backed up and that means all my beautiful pictures will be gone. I never learn the lesson of backing up, no matter how many times I have had this scare with the previous computer!! I think lesson learned now!
Tonite we are going to my friend Rena's party "I kicked Cancer's Ass" Party! We can't wait to celebrate that! Tomorrow night is my birthday dinner Mike and with some friends, who I'm not supposed to know who, but I have a good idea, however I have no clue as to where we are going or what time.
My day of me rocked yesterday. I worked out, went shopping, got my hair done, ate at Kona, and then came home. I was home at almost 6 and left at 11!! I haven't had that much of a day to myself in I don't know how long. It can get very addictive very quickly. Can't wait for next months day of me and I can't wait to plan my girl get away with Marcie next month! We are getting the heck outta dodge for two nights and 3 days! Just us two moms of four! I can't wait!
