Here I am, with only about a day to prepare myself for the Mom 2.0 Summit this weekend. I’m supposed to come up with a party dress with 1960′s influence/flair, Mad Men Sytle, and I still have no idea what I’m going to wear. Well, I have a dress, but not sure if it will look right for the theme, but I might just go with it.
I found this site to do pin curls, so I may end up doing one of those hairstyles. As far as the dress goes, I guess I will have to do a shopping trip tomorrow, and explore my options.
On an other note, my daughter no longer takes breast milk. I was a bit sad about this, but it’s allowed me a lot of freedom, and although I have to prepare bottles now, it’s a bit simpler. Funny how I dreaded this day, or even dreaded doing the bottle thing, but it’s a lot simpler, and my daughter doesn’t demand to eat as often.
I have more energy, but my daughter and I still cuddle and have a special bond that I don’t think would be as durable if I had not nursed her. Ahhh, my baby is growing up, but I love her more and more, and I think that I could not supply all of her caloric demands like formula can right now.
She’s growing so big, and I couldn’t even keep up with her, but I’m glad I have more freedom to do the things I have to do. Now I can even hire a babysitter if I need to, and allow my husband and I some time to have a date night. For instance, I would not be able to go to the conference if my daughter was still nursing, because it’s always been impossible for me to ever express milk.
Anyhow, with only about two days, look out for word from the Mom 2.0 Summit. I’ll be posting on my site, and possibly on the Mom 2.0 site as well, but not absolutely sure.
I Look forward to meeting all the mom’s blogs that I’ve had the pleasure to read.
Cheers!

Have a great time at the conference!
I remembering having withdrawal symptoms when my kids started with the bottle; breastfeeding felt so comforting not just for my kids but also for me as well. But I must say, it was great to get back that freedom and know that my breasts won’t be dripping with milk whenever it wants to.
