A New Chapter

Ian is spending the night at my parents' tonight. It will be the first time I've been without him for more than a couple of hours. I miss him already and he hasn't even left yet. I'll head to Delaware (Ontario, that is) with the boys after lunch today for a short visit. We'll stay for dinner and I'll nurse Ian before he heads to bed. Then Shaun and I will head back home and Ian will sleep overnight. Tomorrow we're going with Aaron and Melissa et al. to Reptilia. Craig and I figured it just makes more sense to bring only Shaun, since feeding Ian these days takes up a lot of time. I'd have to hunt down a microwave for his food and then somewhere to change him; it'll just be easier all around if he's with someone else. Plus my parents have been desperate to babysit since he was born. They'll head back here to Kitchener tomorrow after dinner, we'll have coffee and dessert together and I'll nurse Ian before he heads to bed for the night.

Wish me luck: first that Ian takes a bottle for my parents, and second that the breast pump works for me. With Ian still taking 5 feedings a day, I'll be literally BURSTING by the time he returns tomorrow night if I'm not able to pump anything off! Should be a great day as long as my boobs don't burst.
