Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Quick Update

Let’s see, we had a “professional” photo shoot to get family pictures for Christmas cards… but after one week of “I finished them and I’ll upload them today”… “Oops, my website is not working, I’ll email them to you.” And then no response to my emails for two weeks, I decided to chalk it up to a bad experience and got my cards on Snapfish (they arrived yesterday). I used four pictures that I took including this one…

I have names of two other photographers that I might try out next year. Or not… I’m getting addicted to Snapfish. There was a free photo book offer on Oprah’s website so I did that for Henry’s first year (technically his first 11 months since his birthday is still over two weeks away).

I wanted to get some good photos for my living room wall in addition to the Christmas cards. There were one or two that I kind of liked but I’m not sure if I like them enough to support her business (in addition to ignoring me for the past two weeks, most of the family shots are focused on Henry’s foot with our faces out of focus)… but that is off topic and I don’t want to dwell on this… Anyway, I originally wanted to get this Picture Wall (as seen on Divine Design). Instead I went with this. Umm… but looking on Target.com I just found this too. I might have to think some more…

I had decided that I wanted a photo wall as my reward for reaching my one year goal. Yup, the time has come for me to wean off the pump. I have over 300 oz in the freezer and will coast into his first birthday and get him onto whole milk as my supply dwindles. I’m very glad and proud that I’ve been able to give him the very best and I haven’t needed formula since he was 8 weeks old! But I’m looking forward to not having to drag my pump with me everywhere (not so much everywhere these days since I’m down to 3x a day). I’m also looking forward to getting some nice clothes (mostly tops and bras) post weaning.
