Weaned

 I wrote an entry over the weekend, and I suspect no one saw it. I wonder sometimes, why some entires show up in lists, and others seem to be eaten by diary land.

It is safe to say Sabastian is full weaned. He has no desire to nurse anymore. I have tried, and he just isn’t into it. I think my milk is pretty much gone.

I am 12 weeks pregnant, and he is nearly 1. I think I will count it as I nursed a year. It seems close enough. Plus with all the struggles him and I went through, it is amazing. Even when the lc’s told me to give up I didn’t.

Of course when you add up my nursing total I have nurse 39 months between 2 kids. That’s nothing to be sad about. 

I am trying to get him off formula pretty quickly, it simply costs too much. We make just over wic amounts, but are not rich by any means. Plus wic is just too much work. You go in and they judge you, and critisize your parenting, and then you go to the stores where the cashiers insist you are trying to cheat the system, and then it never goes through, and then the people in line behind you get mad, it is all too much. 

Plus wic is big on vaccines. Which, Sabastian has had none of. I don’t think he is going to. I have done my research, and it isn’t right for us or our family. Espeically when you had a daughter who was nearly hospitalized after she had the mmr vaccine, and you have a mother paralized from a flu shot. No. The doctor supports me. So that is good. 

I have also noticed Sabastian is much healthier and calmer, than his nieces or even sister who had them. Perhaps its luck? Perhaps not.

I called the hospital this morning to check on the status of if I am allowed to deliver there or not. They said they think so. The doctors claim of not having staff 24 hours a day is false. They are checking fully, but as for now they think it is ok. They said that they have vbacs there every day. So something has to be going right. 

I am waiting on them to call me back.

I am waiting on the ABA clinic to call me today to find out about where we are with Samara too. Hopefully, something will be happening soon.

I also need to call the school, because I get to go through that crap all over again. I need to find out if she can get services, like speech and ot. Also if she will qualify for an iep. She has autism, and I belive the school has to recognize her dx. 

So it is a week until school starts, and I still have a crazy house to clean.
