I tell you what..this week is going by so slow it seems. Ace seems to be doing pretty well at day care. His second day at daycare wasn't the best. Vicky said he fussed a lot and never wanted to be put down. Thankfully yesterday he did way better and was content for most of the day. He is consuming roughly 9 oz of breast milk and 2 oz of formula per day while at Vickys. I am unable to keep up with his supply in milk so we are still having to supplement. At least he is getting some breast milk.

Easton has been rather on the winey side these last couple of weeks and this week he's gotten even worse. Could it be because baby brother is at daycare? Who knows. I know he has his 2 year molars coming in but for the amount of fussyness and temper tantrums he's given I just don't think that that is what is the problem. I'm guessing he's strugging with jealousy with baby brother Ace. When we get home from daycare and I have to tend to Ace and nurse him Easton is always pulling at me and telling me "put baby down", "put baby down". Easton does not like me holding Ace all the time. I try and divide out my time between the both of them and give them equal mommy time but some nights it's harder than others especially if Ace is more fussy. He does great most nights but some times there are just nights he needs to be held and rocked by mom. I hope Easton grows out of this stage and realizes that baby brother is not going anywhere and that he'll have to adjust to him not just being the only child anymore and the only one getting mommy and daddies attention. He'll eventually adjust I would think. It will just take time.

It's so hard to be at work right now...the days are so long due to me not having anything to do and no system access to even work on anything. I cannot wait until I"m officially up and running and my days go by faster so I can see my boys that much quicker. Since i have all the time in the world i am pumping 4x a day. I'm trying to get my milk supply up since Ace will so be taking in more milk due to him growing bigger. During the day I only pump out 9oz of milk. Slightly shy of what he's consuming. Hopefully my milk will either stay the same or increase so he can at least get a little more breast milk. I just think of how much time i spend at work verses how much time i get with my kids. Just stinks how I only get a couple of hours a day with them. That is so not ok...but what do you do....we have to earn a living :(
