Brynn will be testing it out with Kevin and Kelsey on Monday while I go to work for the day... to say I am nervous is an understatment. After spending the last 7 months with her, she has a strong dependance on me, (and me on her!) and I of course just know all the little tricks to get her to sleep. That is my biggest concern. I worry about her being a stinker and not wanting to nap. I will sit and rock her and can nurse her...until she falls asleep if I need to, but I wont be there for her. It actually breaks my heart when I think about it. I know Kevin and Kels will great, but I am just so worried about it. I am also having a hard time deciding if I want to supplement during the day while I am at work, or pump. I still definitly want to nurse her in the morning and after work/ evening... but have no idea how my supply will be affected if I dont pump at work, so I don't know what to do...
The last month has been busy. We had our family vacation to Door County which was so nice. It went way too fast. While we were out there we then had one of my best friend's from college wedding, Amber Jean :o) It was so good to see her and Erica! I miss them both so much. I lived with Amber for 3 years and Erica for 2... and on top of that we all played soccer together, and Amber and I had all our education classes together! So say I miss them is an understatement. Amber looked beautiful and I am so, so, so happy for her and Scott!
While in Door County we did a lot. We putted around all the little harbors, had breakfast at Al Johnson's (retaurant with goats on the roof), toured a winery, walked around a cherry orchard, took a boat cruis on Lake Michigan, explored a state park, ate a lot of great food, and of course walked around a few marinas to look at the boats. We also did a lot of swimming at our resort since Miss Brynn LOVES the water. We had a great trip!
As far as updates on Brynnie, she has 2 teeth! They broke through at the same time! They are her bottom center teeth. She also is moving all over. not quite crawling yet, but almost. She is scooting, but ends up pushing herself backwards. She gets up on her hands and knees, and rocks, but hasn't figured out how to move from there. She is sitting up really well independantly, too. Oh, and apparently, she only likes sweet potatoes right now! I have tried apple, banana, prunes, pears... nothing. But she LOVES sweet potatoes. I don't blame her, they are delicious! She is still taking a bottle really well and will drink out of her sippy cup, too!
Brynn has not been sleeping as well anymore. I don't know if it is teething or what-- but she wakes up a lot, especially between the time we put her down (between 7:30-8) until about midnight. She then has been waking up at least once if not twice after that ... I am not used to it. It started when we got home from vacation... so hopefully it is a little phase.
We just put up one gate, and attempted another but it is too narrow so we need to return it. We also took down her swing since she doesn't use it anymore! I can't believe how fast this is all going. Time to babyproof big time around the house.
Tomorrow Brynn will be going to her first Twins game. I hope the weather cooperates... if not we are sitting in the Legends Club so we should be ok. This week are are finishing up week 2 of swimming lessons! So fun to see Brynn in the water. We signed her up for them again this fall in hopes that she doesn't lose her love of water over the winter.
I guess that is it for now. Hopefully I will be better about updating more this month. One last thought, since I am not coaching this fall, it is going to be weird not being at tryouts and stuff beginning in a week. It will be the first time I am not coaching in the fall since 2005. Crazy.
Here are some pictures from our trip!!
II took this video in mid July of Brynnie making one of her silly noises. She does this when she has her links all the time. Too funny :)
