back from beach

2 days w/family w/both kids and me. i was outnumbered...bigtime...

well now

I got my period this morning. Princess Dumpling is 15 weeks today and I definitely got my period. We are breastfeeding, sometimes hourly, and I got my period. I look in my calendar and June 25-30 I definitely had lots of EWCM, so my body is definitely revving up. As my husband noted when I told him, "back in business again."

This happened after the birth of my son, when I was fully in that gottahaveanother infant craziness. I do NOT have the feeling of gottahaveanother with PD, but it's interesting that my body is doing exactly what it did with my son. I had my period 3 months after giving birth, almost to the day. I don't like the idea of going on the pill (at nearly 49 and breastfeeding), so I guess alternatives are in order.

who she is

She likes to be facing out when being held.
She's in the 90th percentile, so a very long little girl
She looks good in yellow, pink, white...My husband thinks not so good in shades of mauve. I thnk she looks great in everything.
She's been able to stand with assistance since before 1 month. Now she'll hoist herself up on little chubby legs and only needs very light fingertip steadying.
She has a hugely satisfied gummy grin.
If not attended immediately after crying she can ramp that up in huge despondent sobs.
Nursing immediately fixes everything.
She sleeps on her back with her arms out to either side.
Light brown hair with strawberry blonde highlights and hazel blueish eyes.
Yesterday, I was being photographed for professional purposes and after we photographed her and everytime I said hahaha she said ahahah.
