Dakota is....
- Smiling often. Her grin, makes me so giddy!
- She is eating for longer periods. Long gone are the days of 10 minute eating sessions.
- When I get her, after work, she does cluster feedings. On a typical weeknight, she will eat at 6:30, 7:30 and sometimes 9 pm. I've noticed, as the day progresses, I produce less milk. The only reason I know this is because I'm pumping, when I'm at work.
- Some of her hair has fallen out, but she's totally rocking the ring of baldness in the back of her head. Watch out, she might be starting a baby hair trend.
- When I wake her up, she arches her back, like a gymnasts.
- If I coo, she coo's and then I melt.
- Her nails grow so fast. It's like having little knives on her fingertips. I'm surprised her face isn't all scratched up. Trey trimmed them, after I took this picture.

This morning, I thought about taking a sick day.
I'm feeling crummy. It feels like a sinus infection, so I shouldn't be contagious. I want strong drugs, but there is limited medication I can take, while lactating. At the moment, I'm taking Zyrtec, which is considered safe. I took half a dose of Mucinex D, since it's on the list of: this might temporarily decrease your milk supply. If that's the case, I'll call for back-up, thank you frozen milk in the freezer.

What are your plans for the weekend? I'm not planning anything, especially since I'm feeling all stuffed up. This might be a kick back, type of weekend.

P.S.
How 'bout them Cowboys??!!!!
