Weaning

Kianna is almost totally weaned!! Yay! I had planned to wait until she was 1 then start weaning her one session a week until she was done, so like over a months time. Well since all this medical stuff came up all the sudden for me and for a while I had no idea if I was going to end up in the hospital for over night stays, have surgery, Be on medications I couldnt nurse on . . .etc. And I didnt want to risk the chance of those and knowing Kianna had never had formula or milk other then breastmilk. So I decided to just go ahead and start weaning a few weeks ago. She eats pretty much table food full time anyways so its not been too hard. I despise formula and refuse to use it unless I have to so I put her on raw goats milk. She is taking it in a bottle at bedtime right now and eating fruits, veggies, meats at meals. She is still nursing when she wakes up in the morning but thats the only time. Its bitter sweet to be almost finished, I had a pretty easy nursing time with her, never really had any problems except for mastitis a few times.
Such a big girl I have now!! 11 months old post coming up in a few days!!!

Me, Kianna

Me- We planned to go to the zoo monday and got all the way to evansville and I had severe pains in my sides and ended up coming back home and going to urgent care. They diagnosed it as UTI. I went to see a Herbalist on saturday and he told me then that my kidneys were weak. Im guessing I probably had the start of the UTI then already and it just didnt hit me big until monday. He also told me my circulation is bad, the energy coming to and from my heart is at 1 and it should be 10, my hormones are inbalanced and I have gunk on my lung lining. So I am on a bunch of herbs to get it back in track. I go back in 3 weeks to check up. Then yesterday my Chiropractor and I were talking and he said sounds like my diaphram. He said if you have alot of indigestion and heartburn since your diaphram is by your stomach when your stomach tightens from pains and heartburn it can seize your diaphram up and you cant get as much oxygen in with each breath. So he gave me some breathing techniques and we shall see.

Kianna- Is officially walking. Not just steps, full out walking. EVERYWHERE! And the girl is so fast. She also has found a screaming voice. Yesterday I dont know what her deal was but all day she would scream at me, I think it was part attitude as she is really getting to be a stinker when I tell her no. Today at walmart she was squealing so loud I was sure people thought I was hurting her.

I think we are going to try for the zoo tomorrow again. Lol. Hopefully it doesnt rain all day.

Allergies

Poor Kianna has her Daddy's allergies. Yesterday she was all snotty and when she woke up from her fitful afternoon nap her one eye was all swollen and red and watery. I called her Ped to see if they thought it was allergies or a cold and the nurse said its allergies and to give her childrens claritin. She woke up after she went to sleep last night and was half asleep and just kinda moaning. I finally got her to sleep and she slept until 7am! This morning she seems to be in a much better mood and her eye looks better.

My Dr called yesterday and wants me to wean myself off the inhaler. So we shall see how it goes when Im off it if my symptoms get bad again. Someone mentioned it maybe anxiety attacks as they have those symptoms. If it comes back once the inhaler is gone Im going to ask my Dr about it. Its worth a try. Good news is I walked to the library and back the other night (1.5 miles) and didnt feel too bad so thats good!!

I cant believe its september already! My baby is almost one! I know oct 18th will be here before I know it. I miss her baby stage, althought I am enjoying the stage now and the more she talks and you can see her personality coming through I know this stage will be fun too!
