No, no, no - that nipple is too fast.

Last night's Bradley class went well, though I was ashamed to turn in my nearly empty food-tracking sheet and Paul's admission that we didn't do any relaxation practice - something we're supposed to do twice every day. But! It's a new week and we can only keep trying our best. We learned more about nutrition and about the benefits of breast feeding. I felt like I was the only one in the class who was going to have to rush back to work after the first six weeks - and it was both frustrating and alienating. She kept referring to "bottle feeding" as something bad in comparision to breast feeding - even though she later clarified that she was speaking more about FORMULA bottle fed babies than breast pumped bottle fed babies. I can't help it that my income is what supports us primarily - if I could stay home I would. I'm going to try and attend a La Leche League meeting in the hopes that I'll get more support for my situation and not just the ideal situation.

Yesterday I worked on filling out my address book in preparation for the baby shower. I don't have a very big guest list, and there are some I'm sure are not going to be able to attend but I'd like to notify them anyhow. While I was messing with my address book I got caught up in fixing a lot of entries that weren't very consistant. I use my Sidekick's categorizing features - and countless fillable fields - to their full advantage and it was irratating me that some business were not categorized and some didn't have addresses or that the addresses were not labeled properly. If it's a business it should have the address under "business" and so on and so forth. I'm so anal sometimes. BUT! Now everything is fixed and I'm just waiting on two more addresses before I hand them over to my sister.

Speaking of the baby shower, I have to get a jump on registering! I've choosen my furniture - but that's really it. My sister said she'd go with me - probably next weekend - to register since I really have no idea what I'm doing. She was trying to explain to me about getting the smaller bottle and the slower nipple because I'll be breast feeding & pumping and I was just lost. I didn't even know they had different liquid-releasing-breast-like-nippled bottles. I thought that all bottles were the same. This is why I need her to go with me.

Sorry, neighbors, for all the posts relating to the pregnancy. Nothing else is really happening right now that is anymore interesting to blog about :)
