callistra | Pic du Jour and General Baby Update

Sprog is now 5.1 kilos! Yay! I was planning on uploading two pics for comparison, but it hasn't happened yet. Ah well. However, here is the Pic du Jour. Dr is very happy, and our next appointment is a month away. He has put on almost a kilo in two/three weeks! Yay! However the expressing thing is not working out very well, and occasionally it makes me sad. :-( It also makes me somewhat guilty, and I feel that if I was determined enough, organized enough, stayed home enough, I'd be better at it, or produce more milk, or whatever. But things are just so topsy turvy all the time, I never know when I'm going to be *able* to express, so having a good routine is almost impossible. I'm now down to morning and night, skipping even the lunch time express. I haven't made 100 mls in a day, even including the lunchtime express in a while. :-( It seems to be gradually slipping away, and I'm a little sad, but it will be a bit of a weight off my shoulders when we do finally stop. Mind you, I am also hoping that by reducing this slowly, there's less chance of getting mastitis and etc, although one of the ducts in one side does seem awfully tender and a bit sore...
