I just realized I am going back to work next week. I feel like I've been living in an alternate universe where time has stopped. Hopefully I'll know what to do with myself in the outside world.

I kind of feel this way too. I go back on Friday, but I have DS starting daycare on Wednesday (half day) to ease him into it and so I can get some last minute stuff done. Part of me is looking forward to going back, but mostly i'm sad about leaving DS. These last 12 weeks really have felt like a whole other world.
So I'm up for the 3rd time with dd before she gets up for the day around 8. Dh is supposed to take the middle (5am) feeding every night so I can sleep (he originally had the 1st feeding at 2am but it was too much for him to handle) but for the past 2 nights he's been "too tired...can you do it??" If I have to hear him complain one more time about how tired HE is when I don't say squat about having to pop my boob out every 2-3 hours all day when all he has to do is one lousy morning feeding...I asked him to take this one since he hadn't taken the earlier one and ended up just feeding her myself because he was like "well I GUESS I could but then I might be late for my train..." If it weren't for the things he does for me all day, I'd kill him :-P lol men just don't get it sometimes!!
Edit: he just suggested that we "alternate nights." So every other night he does one of the 3 feedings. Yeah great thanks not helpful
Just the other night I was telling my friend that having a new baby is like living in a time warp. I have no idea how each day goes by so fast, and don't get me started about how fast the weeks went when I have to go back to work!
I just wanted top thank my baby for not waking up at 2am last night!
First day back to work! Feeding LO right now and it still hasn't hit me that today is the day. I woke up at 4:30 to pump and my champion boob only produced 1 oz. wtf! Usually it produces 3-4 oz no problem. I should already have at least 5 oz already but nope. My supply was the last thing I thought I had to worry about since I have an oversupply issue. Hopefully my boobs will wake up!
I am watching the news and the coverage of this big snowstorm that is supposed to hit the northeast and I am kind of jealous. I live in NC, but grew up in PA and I really miss the snow!

You're nuts! I'm in philly watching it come down lightly so far. I'm from FL and I don't want to go outside. Waiting/hoping for the emails that my classes have been cancelled. PLEASE! I just want to snuggle with the baby in a million blankets.

Excited!! I love snowstorms when I don't have to drive in them I'm a teacher just south of Boston (I actually work in the city) and in kinda wishing I wasn't still on maternity leave so I could enjoy the inevitable snow day (snow days?) coming up!!
Living in Tennessee we get snow days if they simply *think* we will get a quarter inch. To be fair it's because we have no trucks to attend to the ice and snow, but coming from Colorado where I saw a snow day every 5 years and only if we were literally snowed in, I love it. It's like a freebie day.

I'm up nursing my little guy. Dh has to be up soon as he has to be at a customer site unusually early today. I feel so bad for him cause lo was up early fussing. I got him settled down quickly and am hoping Dh didn't wake but it's not likely.
I too am a little jealous of those of you getting snow. It's been unusually warm in the Pacific Northwest lately. I wore a short sleeve shirt yesterday (in usually cold, wet Seattle). I'd love a little snow (I live far enough from the city that we usually get a dusting or two every winter).

You're a niner fan in Seattle? Oh lordy, that sounds like hell lol...my older sisters grew up around San Jose and me and my little sister near Denver. (We are 14 years apart) They're niner fans first and Bronco fans second, and I'm the other way around. One of my older sisters lived in Seattle for 10 years so her oldest (now 27) still lives there and has become a Seahawks fan. It has caused many facebook "issues"', let's just say it's not pretty during football season. My family is hardcore.
Hello ladies. Getting back in the swing of things after having baby and starting work. I pick up one of my employees (aka my cousin) for work and today she woke up when I got there. Makings me late to the two other stops I have everyday. I hate being late! DS was up every hour last night and DD woke up at 4:30 ready to play. I wish I was exhausted but I'm so far past that I don't even know what to call it.
I'm sad we haven't had much snow this winter. I really want it to cover the brown outside so it's nice and white.
This is my last week home and I'm really excited to go back to work but also a little nervous because DD has been so clingy to me when I've left her in the past. Last time I left her she didn't want anyone but mom after pick up. She actually went red face, tears, and screaming when DH tried to hold her while I tried to cook but would stop as soon as I held her.

Well, the milk donation dream just died. I pumped this morning, got a full oz and a half (from the side I didn't nurse on), was super excited... then I called the milk bank. I'm on an antidepressant right now and they won't take my milk with that med. If I go off, they will make me wait a full 2 months before donating milk. I'm sad. There is the option of working outside a milk bank and just donating to a mom in need through a fb page... but I don't know that I'm comfortable doing that, especially now knowing that the milk bank won't take it.
So, the question is, what do I do with the extra milk I am clearly producing? I wish I could telepathically just give that bit of over production to any of the N14 moms who are struggling with their supply.
Oh, and M just fell asleep in his swing. I'm happy that he likes it, but sad that I didn't rock him to sleep myself. Why does he have to grow up and start to not need me for every little thing?
My emotions are a bit of a mess right now... hence the earlier mentioned meds.
Happy Monday Ladies! I see that our love tits are now Fucks Given. ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! I am fucking loving this site!!!!
My little man passed out hard at 9:30 last night and slept til 4 AM. He is really starting to be so happy and fun now that I don't ever want to leave his side. This is probably what most of you have felt like since your babies birth. lol.....I no longer want to put him out in the driveway!!!
Oh yes, and fuck snow! Fuck thermals, Fuck hats, Fuck gloves, Fuck dry skin, Fuck high gas bills, Fuck cold floors, Fuck icy roads, Fuck wearing 5 layers on my upper body. Fuck the snow that falls onto my car seat when I open the door. Fuck people driving 10 miles an hour under the speed limit splattering shit all over my windshield. That is all.

wildflower810 Try contacting Human Milk for Human Babies. They don't have a screening process. They provide a place for women who need milk to find woman who want to donate. There are most likely mothers who will take milk with the antidepressants.
Question, is anyone else getting good carpel tunnel from breastfeeding? My wrist hurts so bad from holdin lo.
I am not BF'ing, but after I feed him and I am holding him upright, or just walking around the house with him, my wrists hurt so bad! He is heavy and squirmy! I have had to sit him down before because it feels like my wrist is just going to give out on me.
Anyone else's kiddos not rolling over yet? Mine has legs of steel, and tries to use those instead of his arms. Meanwhile he is grabbing and holding toys, throwing them, etc with his hands. What gives LO?
