My dear son,
I am formally requesting advance warning next time you feel a growth spurt coming on. Mommy would appreciate the opportunity to book a massage, call in sick, and rent some movies.
I have done nothing all day but hold you as you have alternately slept, fussed, latched on and off in irritating fashion all day long. I had a busy day planned. You have completely annihilated those plans. And while I respect your decision to grow again, some advance warning would have been appreciated.
My back hurts, my arms are tired, I'm starving but having a hard time eating because you won't give me enough time, and I'm cranky with the world because you not sleeping well means I don't sleep well.
And just so you are clear, without the eating and the drinking on my part, the milk making does not occur. And as the milk making is important to allowing you to continue this growth spurt in sufficient fashion, you're just hurting yourself.
Please, 24 hours notice would be perfect.
Thank you and with love and exasperation,
Mama
