Today was Monday...I don't know why but I completely forgot that today the Girl had Sparks. Well, I forgot until 7:15pm when it was too late to take her. I felt awful! I don't know if it is the lack of sleep or the back to back off weeks (the march break and then the following week the Husband was on holidays) or if I am just a dumbass having a bad Mommy moment. In any case, I apologized and she took it rather well. Now I just have to remember that the next week she has a party for Easter at Sparks and I need to send a treat:)On another note, I had an appointment with the lactation consultant today, the good news is Baby weighs 15 lbs and 11 ounces, meaning he is gaining about 20 grams a day...good for us! We are slowly introducing solids, which is a good thing. But the bad news is that the medication that they prescribed for helping with the milk supply has been placed on the waring list by Health Canada (according to the Doctor there) and therefore she wants to start weaning me from it. Now, I believe that this medication is really helping me, and although the study that was conducted by the group in France that prompted Health Canada to issue the warning had a bad reaction with 70 year old women, with pre-exsisting heart conditions, I still feel that I want to continue with the medicine for as long as possible. Deep down I was hoping to breast feed until he was over a year old. Now I am wondering if I can keep that up with out the medicine, or if the medicine has just been helping, and I can do it myself if I keep up the regular feedings (replacing some with pumping sessions). I have enough medication to last a couple of months, but I return to the clinic in a couple of weeks. We'll see how it is going then.
