Unswaddle Pookah didn’t go well. At all. I gave up after the Pookah lost his mind during the first attempt.
But of course, in the last few days, his sleep pattern has gone to the birds. Waking up 3 to 4 times a night instead of once or twice. WTH?
I do want to try to unswaddle him again. But I think I’ll wait until the week my mother comes back. At least then, I’ll have help when he doesn’t sleep.
My financial fast is….going. I haven’t cheated again. Except yesterday. We ate out and I paid for it. But we needed dinner, and i was too exhausted from working the night before to provide it. Hmmmm
I did go grocery shopping and spent more than I ever have in preparation for not eating out like we used to. We have a whole sale store here called BJ’s. Sort of like Sam’s but it’s local. I got a LOT of meat. That should last us for the next month and a half at LEAST. I got all essentials too. So we will see.
Pookah’s eczema is really getting bad. He’s been waking himself up scratching. I’m glad he is going to the doctor on Tuesday, I have LOTS of questions. LOTS.
The Fenugreek is working. It took 4 full days of taking it for it to work. It works best for me if I take 8 pills a day. That’s 2 pills 4 times a day. I really smell like maple syrup. But I noticed a greater pumping output and my breasts seem to be full all of the time. Not engorged like I used to be, but there is always something there now. That is a definite change. And Pookah is taking full advantage of this too. I thought his 6 month growth spurt was over. Guess not.
Well, that’s all for now. Just a random post about random stuff.

Izzy went nuts for the first and 2nd attempts, but she took a GREAT nap today. We actually had to go wake her up so that she could have some time awake before bed time. I think maybe the initial shock of it had to wear off?

Mine started kicking out of the swaddle at 8 weeks old, so we gave up! Now he pulls the blanket over his face when he sleeps. This scares Mommy, who has to check on him like 3 times every hour, but she's afraid he'll get cold too. *sigh* I'm so a first-timer. He's breathing, but is he breathing enough? He's had tummy time, but was it enough? You know. I'm gonna get the Helicopter award for sure.
