Baby is now gaining weight so fast! A half pound over the weekend alone! I'm getting tired of nursing her all the time, so enough already!Also, now that Baby is six weeks old, the newness has worn completely off. I'm tired of people (especially women) stopping me in the store to gawk and coo, "OOOHHHHhhhhh, a new baaaaybeeee! How oooooold is sheeeeee?" It's even worse when they have a toddler with them. "Oh sweetie, come look at the new baaaaybeeee! Isn't she cuuuuute? You were once that small!" Meanwhile, the grubby toddler is trying to grab my baaaaaybeeeee's tiny hands with her booger encrusted ones. I really hate it when they look up at me and say, "I have a sore throat!" with a big grin on their face (that really happened to me). I grimace and say, "She's six weeks old. Yes, she is precious. No, she isn't my first; I have six kids. Yes, my hands are full. Yes, I'm busy." What I really want to say is, "ENOUGH ALREADY! I JUST WANT TO FINISH MY SHOPPING BEFORE THE BEAST WAKES UP AND SCREAMS TO BE FED IN THE CHECKOUT LINE, OKAY???" Instead of being rude out loud, I simply sidestep the women before they can physically grab me and smile as I sashay away...
