must.make.more.milk.

well, the title pretty much sums things up. i'm back on the fennugreek today.

aubrey was up a few times last night, ravenous. AND she was up at 5:00 am this morning. i held her off until about 5:30, then went up to fetch her and bring her down to bed for an early morning feed. she dozed off after she fed on the second breast, but, as soon as i tried to sneak away she woke up and wanted to play. so it was an early morning for all of us!

of course, did i manage to get out the door early? naw. and, when i got out of the shower (a little before 7:00), the construction crew was in my driveway. nothing like being completely buck naked when a crew of big burly dudes shows up at your house. i *hope* they didn't catch a glimpse of me (through one of our many uncurtained windows) before i got a glimpse of them! (note to self: gotta purchase window treatments, stat!)

i feel like my milk production has gone down a bit over the last few weeks, much to the frustration of my growing little gal. plus, boopers is on the verge of getting a tooth...i can feel a little tooth getting ready to poke through on her lower gum. wouldn't it be great if babies just sprouted all of their teeth at once? that way all of the pain and misery would be over and done with!

so, back to work. oh, before i forget...i got an email from pete this morning. (he's having a great time down on the ice...getting heaps of work done, and having fun too.) he was excited to report his first penguin siting: two emperor penguins hanging out near one of the ice runways! i hope the pictures turn out ok!
