1. Breastfeeding. It is difficult for me. It hurts still. It is nice to be so needed but regardless of whether I breastfeed or not my daughter(s) still need me. I feel like breastfeeding is not all it is cracked up to be, and you don't have to agree with me. I just don't like it. My goal is to get to 3 months. My production is good, so I know I can handle this, I just don't like it. Sorry if I offended anyone.
2. Mom visited for about two weeks and just left on Friday. I miss her already. I wish we could have family closer. We have my brothers-in-law close and last month we were able to see Anna and her family once a week, but I miss my side of the family. I really do. I haven't seen Melanie in 3 years since David's funeral which was a sucky occasion to see people at. Here are some photos of me and Mel.

3. I keep in touch with my dearest friends Caroline, Racheal, and Melanie (also my twin) through a thread on Facebook. We just decided that we are kinda like the girls in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants except that we wouldn't fit into the same pair of jeans because, for instance, I need a 34 inch inseam and Racheal needs a short inseam...not to mention she is a 0 (I think the smallest of us all) and I am a 12. That is a lot of inches inbetween! haha. Anyways, I am excited about what we have recently decided--we are going to have a traveling journal. It will be fun to get something in the mail from all the girls. We are each going to make an entry and then mail it to each other and when we get it back we'll have three entries to read. It sounds fun to us.
4. Packing. I don't think it will actually get done until we have our yard sale in a few weeks. And then we'll have two weeks to pack. Tyler, my little brother, is coming to help and live with us until Marcus gets back from boot camp. So, he'll be with us for a while. It will be awesome and we will make memories.
5. Madeline is definitely a toddler. She has her sweet moments but then she has her terror moments and it is so difficult to deal with. Also some children get quiet when they are tired, but Maddy turns into a hyper hurricane. Marcus and I have been talking about moving her bedtime to around 8pm, but she gets so hyper much sooner. Especially on Sundays. I hate late church. It's hard to get home at 5 o'clock to eat dinner after not having a nap/quiet time all day. We will have it figured out soon, but so much is about to change anyways I don't think changing the time will work right now.
6. Buying a house. This is often on my mind since we are starting the process. Any advice on what to look for? We are getting a VA loan so it has to fall under those qualifications (which I don't know what those are yet).
7. Marcus graduates and we walk in commencement in exactly one month! *snap* That went by quickly!
8. I am 99% sure Faye has reflux. Poor girl. I have to sit her up right after she eats without putting pressure on her tummy. But she loves sleeping on her tummy.
