T&Ps needed: I just got a call that my Mamaw has been admitted to the hospital with a partially collapsed lung. She's stable and they are monitoring her to see if it will correct itself. They want to avoid having to insert a chest tube if at all possible.
I'm planning on going first thing in the morning to stay with her but I don't have enough supply built up to leave with DH for LO. I don't want to take DS with me to the hospital so I'm kind off really freaking out and have a ton of questions.
Should I pump as much as I can tonight or just go get some formula to cover tomorrow's feedings? DS has only had formula maybe twice, so I'm not sure how he would do with a whole days worth. Will pumping after feedings tonight severely screw up my supply?

Pump after feeding would drain your boobs and they'll just make more milk, it helps increase production. I was told by my LC I should plan my pumping at least an hour before feeding to ensure there'll be enough for LO.
FX things improve soon. Sending good vibes your way.
I bought back some treats and sent my mum a bunch of pictures I took the other day of my mum and LO as peace offering for our drama last night. Seems like the combo have broken the ice around here.

Hi ladies!
I woke up at 4 am feeling like absolute crap, thought I had mastitis, then fell asleep and woke up at 10 (thank you ds for finally sleeping!) and it was like nothing happened. Then I got to go get a mani and pedi and hit up the sale at Old Navy kid free. It was so freaking nice. I was supposed to have my nephew again tonight but they just cancelled, I love my nephew but I'm kind of relieved I won't have him.
Has anyone had a lip tie corrected on their LO's yet? I'm going to the pedi on Tuesday for a well check and am bringing it up but just curious if anyone has been through the process already.

I'm trying the laid back position tonight for my left boob and this is the best latch DS has had on that side. Of course I basically face planted him on my boob by accident, but hey... it works.

Also, I need to brush up on my nursery rhymes and songs. I'm pretty sure it doesn't go "and if that diamond ring don't shine, mommy's going to drink a glass of wine".

When we do that, I can't see most of his head.
Haha, I was taking pictures with my phone to check his lips.

My H is hilarious with this song. He makes up he whole thing and I recall a "big yellow bus" being in one.

I feel super guilty because I don't sing to my LO. I don't know any songs! Except twinkle twinkle little star. Is that even a song? DBF was singing Sir-Mix-A-Lot to him. Obviously we have no idea.
Our little one ends up being called wiggles a lot... Which leads to wiggle wiggle wiggle.. And DH or I making the horn sounds.
