I checked my work email briefly (so! many! emails!) and saw that I was sent my offer letter for the new position I'm transitioning to. I had a feeling there'd be a salary increase, but I didn't realize it'd basically be the annual cost of daycare! Wooo!
So here's a question:
They included some tasks from my old job that I would cover until they hire someone new (they hired my old position but then another support person left). One of the tasks includes a weekly open support session where clients can come on and screen share with us. It'll go over one of the times I'm planning to pump. I'm planning on pumping at 9, 12, and 3. The session is from 2-4:30. It's usually slow, so I could probably take my laptop into the room to pump real quick. I mean, they likely won't know what the background noise is. Assuming someone is on the line at the time. Or do you think it'd be okay to maybe do a small session at 1:30 and then another small one at 4:30? Hopefully it'll be very temporary.
The sessions happen on Tuesday, so luckily I don't have to worry about it for a week.
You can do a test run with a coworker to see how the noise transfers, see how comfortable you are with pumping while talking, etc.

That's true. And really, it's like 15 minutes and I can keep muting the mic when I'm not talking.

Mini vent.
I had fad diet bullshit. And when people use some crap go try and sell it to others. Example on a Facebook group. Some one is selling plexus by saying it will up your milk supply and that it helped others get pregnant. Really?! There are 4 million factors that could apply to both those testimonials.

People can be so full of crap.
I really like plexus and how it makes me feel. That being said, I'm tired of a couple of reps that are all "it'll change your life!!!" One of my friends keeps talking about how it helped her not have any cravings while pregnant and helped her pass her GD test, etc. Guess what? Every single thing she has talked about, the same thing happened with my pregnancy and I wasn't using it. I think its a great product, but it is not the be all end all. I much prefer my friends selling it that say what they like about it, etc.
Got into bed late last night (lovely anxiety) and lost it. Ugly sob cry. Teared up dropping her off, but held it together.
Pro: Work was nice & gave me an easier assignment: post-op day 1 and transfer to rehab incredibly sweet pt. RN next to me was awesome and kept asking if I needed a break to pump. Boss kept checking on me (DD is 12 hrs older than his DS; had at same hospital) as his wife was also back to work a few floors below.
Con: only pumped twice at work (not 3x). Hope my body will cooperate & not tank supply.

I hope that made any kind of sense.
I totally get that. And if it works for you cool
I just hate the -- basically preying on the people who are desperate for a result when it's bs.
As soon as the doctor gives the OK, we are going to start Alanna on some kind of cereal. She is in the 99th percentile (since birth) for height and weight...she still wakes up at 12:30 and 4:30 to eat like clockwork every night. She is just HUNGRY. She eats and falls right back asleep. Anyone else starting cereal? ...thoughts? experiences?
Might help her sleep longer, but maybe not. Sorry I don't remember if you're doing formula or breastmilk. She may just not be able to sleep that long just yet. LO is 98-99 percentile and wakes up around 330 every morning. It's 5am before he's down for a few hours. And he eats every 2 to 3 hours during the day (bf baby). Dr said sleep is more age dependent than size and they just need to develop the neurological capacity.
Would she dream feed to let you get some more sleep?
I hear you on the hungry baby. MH is concerned we've been overfeeding, but we've dropped all supplementation and he's a long baby. I think chubby is his normal state and he's just been seeing a lot of smaller/skinnier babies which makes LO look extra chunky. I'm looking forward to LO spacing out daytime feeds more.
