Well, it's been a few days since my last post.  We're still hanging in there.  Wendy, George and Mason were at the Klebba house yesterday and today.  It was kinda strange to be alone (with Otto) in my house again.  It's been a WHILE since that's happened.  It was nice.  

Work is slow as I transition back to the grind, so it was nice to relax and take it easy.  Did I nap?  No, of course not.  I should have.  Today Mom came over and she killed herself helping with my yard.  She did most of the work . . . weeding the patch of dirt in the alley, picking up poop in the back yard, cutting & edging the grass, cutting back dead shrubs, pulling up some other dead shrubs, digging out the poppies and irises we dislike, etc.  We tied it all up on a tarp.  Tonight I hope the boys will take it away!  It's a LOT of yard trash.

My baby drama of the week is all about production of breast milk.  When GV isn't here I am not making enough milk to replace what he's eating.  Sooooo . . . I am going to have to start the slow transition to supplementing with some formula.  I fought it another day.  So today GV got the good stuff.  We'll probably see how the next few days go and then kick in the formula tomorrow or Saturday.

I am going to try the "regular" kind again first.  Maybe he's outgrown his allergy??  I've been having some dairy in my diet and he seems to be better.  Maybe he can handle regular formula (PLEASE) now as well.  So, he's taking 6 oz bottles, 5 times a day.  We'll start with one or two feedings and mix in 2 oz of formula with 4 oz of breast milk and slowly slowly slowly transition him over to formula.  

Good times!!
