It may not seem like it, but I am still around. I think about blog­ging at least once a day. I think about top­ics for blog­ging quite often. I just seem to be miss­ing the step in the process where I sit down and write out my thoughts.

Some of you may know that we now have baby #2 in our fam­ily. I had a baby boy July 15th, and I’m now a tan­dem, extended nurs­ing mom. Both boys are still going strong breast­feed­ing. K, my 23 month old nurses about 6 times a day, and A, my 11 week old nurses about every 2 to 2.5 hours dur­ing the day and every 4 hours at night so about 10 times a day. Wow, that sounds like a lot when I say it that way. It really doesn’t seem like that much, but I sup­pose 16+ nurs­ing ses­sions a day is quite a bit.

Now that I’ve taken the time to sit down and start blog­ging, I have about 10 top­ics run­ning through my head. Instead of squeez­ing them all into one humon­gous post, I’ll just let you know what will be com­ing on my blog in the next few days and weeks. My (40 minute) birth story, tan­dem nurs­ing, extended nurs­ing, deal­ing with a tod­dler and an infant, cloth dia­per­ing, dairy sen­si­tiv­i­ties, and over­ac­tive let­down and over supply.
