Thanks everyone for the nice things you said.
Off topic- this smilie is weird!
It just startled me when I signed in to post! Eek! A bouncing Maleficent!
Anyway, I had some good talks with my mom and my best girl friend and they were both like, "For your own sanity's sake- it's OKAY to wean Molly....you're a great mom and she's a great baby...she's different than the boys and that's ok." Bob sent me an email saying essentially the same thing and that I was a great mom, etc. So, I'm going to see how the next two weeks goes far as her interest in the nursing goes as she eats more and more solids. She doesn't need to nurse as much, but I will get her to latch on and it's like this- gulp-gulp un-attach and cry....latch on...gulp, gulp, gulp- latch off and cry. It's so tiring for me to keep getting her back on, etc. It's like she just doesn't get the groove most of the time (she does do well at night however). But a bottle she will practically grab out of my hands (no lie) and suck it down. So, I guess she just prefers that. And that's ok.
I hope lissawynns driving trip is going ok....I drove from San Jose to Disneyland when Sam was about 6 months old (about a 6 hour drive) and it wasn't too terrible. I am going on the airplane next week from Portland to San Jose (about a 100 minute flight) by myself with all three.
Say a prayer! I have done it by myself with 2....but not 3.
Anyway, hope you are all having a good day.

I don't know how you do it! I am going crazy today and really can't wait till dh gets home to help me! I can't even imagine how hard you must have it...esp. w/ 3 kids! Vent away, sister! Personally if nursing is stressing you I would quit! 5 months was a good amount of time to give her the nutrients and Lord knows you've got enough to deal with without stressing about that! I was formula fed and turned out fine...no matter what you've heard, lol! Kylie is also ff and thriving just fine! Bfing is great but you shouldn't continue to feel so stressed when you could ff her and she'd be just as fine. JMO. Take it or leave it. It's your decision. Good luck!
. The only bad part about the trip is school will be starting when we get back and that means back to work and major stress form me. Oh well!
try giving her some tylenol and rubbing a little baby anbesol on her gums.. this was always a lifesaver for me..
So anyway let me try this again!
Anyway, a while ago Scott told me he wanted to take a nap so Kylie and I went into her bedroom to play. She loves her room b/c it is done in a Winnie the Pooh theme and she is always smiling at her walls and her bedding, lol! So I put her on a blanket in her floor and proceeded to play with her. I got out some of her toys. She is just now getting to where she is interested in them. She still doesn't care enough to grab them herself but she likes to look at them. Well, after a little bit I got out a book my dad and stepmom bought for her. It is one of those giant Winnie the Pooh books that has the buttons on the bottom that you can push to play music/sound effects. I set it slightly to the side of Kylie and read it to her. She loved that book! It needs batteries so I didn't use the sound effects but she loved that book so much that she kept trying to roll toward it. She has known how to roll from her stomach onto her back since she was a month old (although she hates to lay on her stomach when she's awake so she doesn't do it much!) but she hasn't rolled onto her stomach from her back yet. Well, she was laying on her back and trying really hard to roll onto her stomach! She didn't quite get there and she kept trying over and over again. She hasn't done it yet but she has gotten extremely close so she should be rolling both ways any day now! I am excited! After all the playing she got wore out, I guess. She fell asleep in her floor and is sleeping there now! Like I said today has been wonderful compared to yesterday! At least she is taking a nap so we won't have to go through the crankiness again today!
