I went out for a while on Saturday night leaving Noah alone with the girls. This meant defrosting some milk for Calli, just in case. Apparently she didn’t actually want it during the night, but it was already defrosted and you can’t refreeze. So I helped her with the cup on Sunday. (We do have bottles but I’m lazy.) She sucked the milk down so fast it was startling. And then I got the rest of the milk from the bag and brought the cup back towards her. She saw the cup and started *whining* and lurching for it. She wanted it bad. I was impressed. So much for thinking she has zero interest in food. If I were a more giving mother I would pump more often so she could drink from a cup because she obviously wants to. But I’m lazy so she’s going to have to wait for a bit. 🙂
This reaction and her current slightly increased fussiness is making me wonder about me eliminating sugar from my diet. I know the milk is adequate still but I kind of wonder if the flavor is less awesome because she is used to me having a fair bit of sugar. My mood also sucks donkey dick. I am being a viper. 🙁 I do still think doing this for a month is a good choice because health-wise neither of us will suffer. I’m just unfun. 21 days to go.
if i went without sugar
for ten days
i’d be
a
mass-murderer.
so…
i think you’re doing fine.
Glad you went out; hope it was fun! Are you being completely inclusive about sugar such as not eating bread because they use sugar to activate the yeast?
That’s a super fun picture.
I’m pretty neurotic. I am barely having whole fruit, no juice. When I have bread I eat the uber-crunchy stuff. (ingredient list: Sprouted Organic Whole Wheat Berries, Filtered Water, Wheat Gluten, Honey, Fresh Yeast, Sea Salt, Soy Based Lecithin, Cultured Wheat) And I think I’ve had ~1 whole slice in the past 9 days. I’m eating a fair bit of pasta, mostly whole wheat, so that’s a very simple carb if not straight up sugar.
Mostly I’m having meat, veggies, dairy (cheese and yogurt more than milk), eggs, and at least some grain product every day. 🙂 Considering that I am normally a carbitarian I am actually going really really light on carbs for me.
I’ve got one bag of milk left in the freezer that I have to take out for a road trip tomorrow. I’ve been woefully negligent with pumping this go-round. I just don’t wanna.
I’ve been pretty lazy. I only have like 20-ish ounces in the freezer. It’s just too much work with two kids nursing.
