3/2/11 – Adventures in Baby Food - Bananacado

The horribleness has continued. Amelia continues to not sleep, unless in bed with us. And, when in bed with us, she just wants to be…..attached….to me all night long. It is very negatively affecting my pumping output during the day, and is keeping me from sleeping. I am so exhausted. I need sleep. And, I’m really worried about keeping up my supply at this rate. She just will not stay in her bassinet. I don’t know what to do!

Today was pretty busy at work after being out at the conference all day yesterday. Playing catch up again, all day long! But, makes the long, sleepy days fly by, so that works out well. After work, we really didn’t do too much. Just the usual dinner, play, baths and bed. Amelia hasn’t been a HUGE fan of Avocado’s. She’ll eat them, but doesn’t seem to enjoy it too much. So, tonight I mixed together a banana and an avocado, and…she LOVED it. I’m hoping the nice fatty, filling avocado will help her sleep better. So, fingers crossed, because this mama needs sleep like nobody’s business! I don’t even like avocados, but it’s pretty tasty. Obviously, I added some lemon juice to the mix so the leftovers wouldn’t get TOO brown.

So, that was pretty much the excitement of our day! Now, we go to bed, and just pray for some sleep!!! Here are some before and after pics of the bananacado. I also have a video to post, but it's not working right now, so I'll have to come back to that...
