Baptism & Bottle

Today DS2 was baptised. My dad and one brother and his family were there. We had bbq for lunch at the church afterwards and invited the pastor and her daughter to eat with us. We also invited another couple that is in the process of adopting a girl from China.

After lunch we went house hunting in a suburb of town. My other brother lives there so we stopped in to say Hello. He asked me if I had gone back to work yet. In answering his question, I realized that I only have 2 weeks left. I could have 3 weeks, but I'm planning on using the short week before Thanksgiving to go back part-time to give DS2 a chance to get used to daycare gradually and to give me a chance to get used to the change gradually too. (Plus if I work on Wednesday I will get holiday pay for Thursday and Friday.) That does mean that we have only 2 weeks to get DS2 drinking from a bottle. We tried for the first time tonight. He got some milk, but only because it drips from the nipple. I don't think he ever latched on, and I could tell that he didn't like it much. We'll keep trying. DS1 had trouble, but he was in NICU and we had lactation consultants helping us. I may need to call on my La Leche League friends if DS2 doesn't get it by the end of this week.
