well, i'm in the office, trying to bill a few hours since i was WAY under my target last month. i was kind of dreading coming in but actually, it's nice and quiet here.
anyhoo, not too much to write about at the moment. aubrey has sprouted two little bitty teeth on her bottom gum and has been a bit of a pill for the past few days. (i.e., napping strikes and not sleeping well at night.) she also promptly caught a cold the very DAY she returned to daycare, so we are battling with the boogers.
milk production hasn't really increased significantly...maybe by an extra ounce. (i'm pumping almost 10 oz. during the day instead of ~ 9 oz.) this in spite of the fact that i've tried: (a) pumping more frequently; (b) drinking huge quantities of water; and (c) taking fennugreek and blessed thistle supplements 3 x a day for the past week. maybe i just need to relaaaaaax a little more. now that pete is back, maybe i'll see a slight increase. we'll see. i've been pumping around 1:00 am most mornings and that has enabled me to stay slightly ahead of aubrey's consumption. and she hasn't been drinking quite as much milk as she was over the past few weeks, so maybe we've hit something of an equilibrium....for the moment.
alright, back to billing. oh! before i forget: i am almost finished with aubrey's new sweater! i made it from balls of scrap yarn left over from other projects and it is super cute! i just have to finish the second sleeve (maybe today), weave in the ends and block it. it looks like it will fit her perfectly. i'll post pictures soon!

Once again I have no pumping thoughts, but I can't wait to see pix of the sweater!
Hey... I'm thinking about doing more designs for babies & kids, but don't know any here well enough to either ask them to model or spontaneously make them sweaters. Would Aubrey like to model? (and get sweaters?)
hey becca!
um, YES! aubrey would love to model your handknit baby garb! (do i sound like a a baby pimp? i hope not....) we love the sweater you made her and we use the blanket you, molly, heather and robin made her every night at bed time. : ) so by all means, knit away!
