Well, Noel is 4 days old today. :) he's a sweetheart. Although, he seems to have night and day messed up lol. He was up all night cluster feeding, nursing non-stop. Until about 5:30am where he finally napped with me until 8:30!! He then ate about 15 mins each breast before falling asleep again at 10 and sleeping til 1pm with me :). After that he nursed again for 15 mins each breast. Then slept again from about 2-3:30. I then woke him to nurse and he did for about 10 mins on one breast. After that he was awake for about 45 mins perfectly content and looking around the car - since we were going to a fundraising dinner for my lil cousin Chelsea. Then around 4:30 he went back to sleep while we were at the fundraiser. I got him awake a bit so that he could nurse and we nursed discreetly in the Moby :)
I was sort of annoyed because while we were out my aunts and my grandmother decided it was their job to tell me what I SHOULD do and what I NEED to do.
"Are you sure you can eat that? Shouldn't you be on a special diet? Are you sure you want to drink that? You should start pumping so you don't feed in public. I'm sure Justin doesn't like that he can't feed Noel. You need to invest in a breast pump. You should donate your extra milk if you get an over supply."Uh, no. I don't have to and I shouldn't do anything that I don't want to. You don't know my Justin so you should keep your mouth closed on what he feels.
Oh and no, I'm not poisoning my baby because I'm continuing the same foods/drinks I had during pregnancy.
Can't people mind their own business? I'm a better mom than any of them have been. And that's something I'm pretty sure of.
In other unrelated news - which I sort of really don't want to ruin this amazingly adorable and happy post...but I feel compelled to say all that is on my mind on here, Liz. -.-
I'm unhappy with her. She texted me last night saying,
"Hey Rachael! Congrats on baby Noel! I'm sure you are loving him! We are excited to see you too! Bennett has his Christmas program tonight but either tonight or in the morning we can FaceTime. It will kind of depend on what my family wants to do after his program. We have a pretty large crowd of family members coming to see him, but if we get home early enough we could do it. I can text you and see if it's a good time for you."So I texted her back saying that yeah that should be fine and that I look forward to hearing back from her. That I also hope that Bennett really enjoys his program and that I'd love a picture if possible. Then I ended it by saying Have fun! :) <3
No text all night or morning.
Then this morning I texted her around 11am asking how things were and that I hope they enjoyed Bennett's program.
No text back.
So at 7pm I sent another text explaining that I was concerned about them since I had not heard back and that I'm hoping everything is okay.
She just texted me back now at 9pm saying that shes "really sick" and that she has "hardly lifted" her head. She's offering to FaceTime tomorrow and she says "Hoping I will feel better by then and have a bit more energy." Then she sent me a pic from Bennett's program.
It doesn't take away how upset I feel that she basically blew me off. She could have sent over a 10 second text at any time. She even could have had her husband do it. She didn't have to make me feel ignored and betrayed yet again.
I just texted back saying that I'm sorry to hear that she's not feeling well but that I'm relieved that something worse hadn't happened. I said we can definitely work out a time for tomorrow and I hope she is feeling better by then. I thanked her for the pic and told her I'm free anytime before 12 noon and asked her if morning would work for her.
So it's a date. She asked if 10:30am works for me so I told her I'm looking forward to her call. We'll see if I get blown off again.
