I'M STOKED WITH MY STOKKE!!!

So I finally got the little man a high chair - - AND - - it rocks!!!! He loves it! For the first couple of minutes he was all "What the?!?!" And once he saw the food coming at him, he was won over! Yippee for STOKKE! www.stokke.com

DEBIE AND PAUL ARE PREGNANT

Woo Hoo! Debie and Paul are having a baby! They are due around the end of December just like Lachlan! I can't wait! I am so over the moon with happiness for the both of them!!!

I am packing up the pump! Can you quite believe it!!! I pumped today and got 30ml (1oz) from BOTH breasts today and have to tell you, I am feeling a little sad getting so little. I knew my supply was going to drop signifigantly once I started skipping pumping sessions to stop pumping all together, but it's here and I'm still shocked! Pumping has been such a big part of my life for almost 6 months and to suddenly think that tomorrow I won't be getting out of bed and pumping almost seems ludicrous. It's almost like losing a finger or something - I'll live but part of me is missing.

The good thing is that Lachlan still has about another 3 weeks left of frozen breast milk in the freezer for one his 250ml bottle in the mornings. So yippee for me being able to make it to 6 months for Lachlan having SOME breast milk.

I hope I have a more successful breastfeeding relationship with our next child, but I know that I gave it everything I could to give Lachlan my milk. We supplemented with Karicare Goat Formula when I wasn't able to pump a full days worth and he was fantastic with it after his terrible reactions to cow's milk formula. Little man hardly even notices when he gets breast milk instead of the goat formula!!!

Well, off to put the pump and bottles away. Hard to believe I won't see these again for 12-24 months until the next signing for Team Copeland, it's almost like saying goodbye to an old friend!

Goodbye my Medela Swing, you were loyal, reliable and most importantly, portable! Rest well.

FIRST MOTHER'S DAY

This morning Richard and Alan made Tracy and I breakfast and then we all went for a walk and took some photo's with my new camera. It was a pretty nice day but I am already planning on what I want to give Alan for Father's Day! I can't wait!!!!

I'm In LOVE!

Look what I got yesterday!!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about it! Actually, Richard could tell you probably since I asked him about a 1000 questions before my purchase and made him rack his brain and look at every website he could to compare the Nikon's for me! Bless him - what a good man!

Team Copeland Photo Shoot

For my 30th Birthday I asked for Eva and Les to have a photographer take some family photo's of us. I am really happy with them. Although, I still do wonder where my teeny tiny baby went to?

T-I-I-I-I-M-B-E-R!!!
