*sings* reunited and it feels so goooood.  aka I got to be with my twinny today, I feel complete again :D

[slaymarie]

Besides, obviously exhausted, are you doing okay?

[hippiegrace]

Yeah, getting ready to start filming for TD again and all that good stuff.  Lol, the tiredness is my only real problem.

[slaymarie]

Aha, she probably has such a cute little personality already. I know she’s probably keeping you two busy, but how have you been? Tired, probably.

[hippiegrace]

Like I said... pretty exhausted considering she’s probably going through another growth spurt so she’s not really sleeping.

motorcityssabin:

But… tit out still, right? Or do you… wiggle the child underneath your shirt somehow?

Oh, I never doubted that! Just, in case that doesn’t work, I hope it can still be solved naturally. There are way too many pills and shit I see advertised…

The point here is you don’t have to be naked.  Having one or even part of one boob out doesn’t count as naked.  Unless you’re in one of those rare breast feeding safe places a blanket should always be handy.

Even if she was old enough to give her pills or whatever, this is Bryan’s child we’re talking about.  He’d try every homeopathic remedy in the known world before resorting to that.

hippiegrace:

Who takes their clothes off, unnecessarily, to breast feed?  It’s something to try and make sure she’s getting enough milk, because that may be a reason she’s not sleeping well.  We’re not sure so we’re trying it out to see if that helps.

… Uhm… As I said, I know shit about kids, but don’t you have to be titties out to breastfeed?

I hope that, somewhere down the experiment lane, you will find something natural that you can all be happy with.

[hippiegrace]

You don’t have to have, everything out... you don’t even have to take your shirt or bra all the way off.  The bottle feeding is still natural, it’s still my breast milk, i’ll just be pumping into bottles on occasion rather than always having her get it from the source.

hippiegrace:

Bottle feeding as opposed to breast feeding and find a fix as in find a way to fix her sleeping problem.  Though if either of those things, were a real option I’d probably get more sleep.

That sounds a lot better. ^^;

How would bottle feeding make that easier though, apart from you being able to keep your clothes on?

A rebel against sleep.  We’re pretty sure it’s a growth spurt mixed with some other things but she just hasn’t been sleeping well or taking naps.  Which means we’re tired and haven’t been sleeping well.  We’re trying to find a fix for her though.

Okay, I will be honest. Children? No fucking clue about those. But this “bottle thing” sounds like you want to install some robot that automatically gives her the bottle while… “find a fix” somehow makes me think of the vet.

Please clarify because this is spooking me!

6 weeks and now Birdie decides to be a rebel… I’m so damn tired it’s crazy.  Hoping this bottle thing works how I want it too so Bryan and I can get some sleep.

[slaymarie]

Damn does time fly. Little mama is already six weeks?

[hippiegrace]

six weeks going on 25 years, haha.

Such is the life, well I mean JJ is here but he’s got his own little familia.  It’ll be alright though, even though Bryan and I aren’t really together anymore he still stays here for Birdie, so I’m not totally alone I guess.

But it must be hard with your family scattered all over the place. I don’t know who JJ is… but at least you have your daughter still. And I assume friends? You still have friends around, right?

[hippiegrace]

JJ’s our brother, his wife had a baby a couple months before Birdie came along. Yeah, yeah plenty of friends around, I just miss my mom and sister a lot, especially Nikki.  When your twin’s not around it’s kinda like trying to operate after newly missing a limb...

[hippiegrace]

Birdie loved seeing Bryan on TV and hanging out with her Nana!  Still super sad My mom’s moving to Tampa, now I’ll be basically by myself here in Arizona ;-;

[thenikkibclla-blog]

Here’s to mom and me trying to convince you to move out here to Tampa, too.

[hippiegrace]

Here’s to me trying to convince mom to stay and you to come back or at least be in San Diego more often me and Birdie will drive there to see you.  Also, Bryan doesn’t much care for Tampa and together or not I can’t just take Birdie from him.

All by yourself? That’s not nice… :(

[hippiegrace]

I feel like one of those people who only talks about being a mom these days… but it’s really the best thing I have going in my life.  Out with Brie Mode and in with Mommy Mode.

[raquelxoxo]

Mommy Mode!!! Gotta be the best thing ever!

[hippiegrace]

It is, I’m loving every single minute of it and I don’t want it to end.

[thenikkibclla-blog]

You totally deserve some rest. Text me in the morning, though.

[hippiegrace]

I’ll try not to forget, promise!
