@badwolf321 I'm jealous! I'm not breastfeeding and I am gaining so much weight. I guess my stomach didn't get the memo that I'm no longer eating for 2...We have an eliptical that I tell myself every morning I'm going to use, but once the kids are in bed, I end up cracking a beer and that plan goes right out the window.
I always set terrible expectations for myself in the morning that never happen in the evenings. Reality sets in every time. Morning me is always so disappointed.
My throat hurts and I'm stuffy so I took a nap with LO. Now DH is at work and I'm home alone with him (DS1 is with his dad). My ability to play is entire in the hands of a short kid who may or may not melt down at any moment. Right now I'm pumping one side at a time and typing with one hand as we plays with his feet in the bouncer, but do aspire to participate fully later.

Im just a miserable heap today. Migraine. Toothache. SI flare up. My right tit feels like its going to fall off because Ive been nursing non stop all day today to avoid/prevent what felt like the possible beginning of mastitis this morning. My newest medication has been making me practically shit myself all day for 3 weeks straight and I think my body is just done. Ughh. So. Tired. Of. Pain.
On the bright side, LOs ultrasound screen for hip dysplasia came back clear today!
Haha sweet! A few of them want to run the half there next summer, and a few of us want to join and drink wine and not run so that would be where!
Definitely a good place to drink some wine Before H and I moved out of state we used to spend every weekend wine tasting because most wineries offer free tastings. So because we were poor, we would go get drunk for free lol. Classy right?
Haha that's awesome!
I've only been to the west coast once and so the only wineries I've ever been to were in Oregon! This will be my first time to CA, so super excited to check it out!

So many people posting pictures of their milk production from pumping on FB with 9+ ounces in one sitting. I am lucky if I get 3 ounces per one sitting so it makes me jealous.
Andplusalso, I really dont think that needs to be post on FB.
I want family pictures. Cute ones. I do need to print off the millions if pictures of V to put in out picture book.

DNW pictures of my breast milk on facebook. DNW to see pictures of yours.
Same here. It amazes me what people post. It really does! I was so shocked when I saw the first post and am continued to be shocked when I see more posted. Le sigh.
@bubbs119 OMG. I would be mortified. That's a little rude of people to ask about your milk production..WTF.
I'm a social worker in a WIC office (veryyyy pro breastfeeding!)....I get SO. DAMN. MANY. comments and questions about pumping/breastfeeding/milk supply. Everyone is generally sweet about asking and are very encouraging/supportive so I just deal with it. It's actually kind of nice to have so much support at work:)
baytosa2013, HOW could you not get into parenthood? Do you have no soul? Solid choice on Mad Men though. Have they added the last season yet?
Noooo (I mean yes I have a soul) but I couldn't watch it, especially with all the PP hormones! Christ on a cracker it would have left me a heaping weeping mess! I also hate crying so yeah I think that's part of it.

Kristykristyleelee scandal was on my maternity leave Netflix list but I didn't make it to it:( let me know what you think about it!! Nobody I know actually watches it so I'd like to know if it's worth my time.
I'm currently watching One Tree Hill- all the feels and I'm only in season 3 of 9!
I'm going to pump while I drive home from work. I've never done it before and I'm equally nervous as I am excited.
This is my life now.
I did this yesterday. I got an extra ounce, so it worked okay!
I don't get more than 3 ounces at a time. I was ultra engorged today (I had to go five hours between pumps at school today and I still only got 3 ounces.

I love scandal...although there were definitely some more blah seasons thrown in but I like that its fairly fast paced and there's all this back room deals and underhanded intrigue. Totally my cup of tea!
+1 to not getting Gilmore Girls but haven't really tried
All this pumping at work talk reminded me that when I returned to work after DS1 another co-worker who was also BFing and pumping asked me if I'd mind if she came into my office to pump since she was in a shared office. I agreed because I thought she meant when I wasn't there. She then asked what time I'd be pumping and was legitimately disappointed that it didn't align with her availability to pump. I am no prude (e.g. extra FFFC I'm happy to topless sunbake) but pumping together? Just no.
How about my Supervisor who was all "you know, you can probably pump at your desk, it's not like the girls would care!" I work in an office room with 3 other women and we're only divided by little office cubicle style things. And we all bring clients in at different times so it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll never be alone in my office.
SO. NOT. HAPPENING. Whyyyyy would I want to pump with co-workers? Serious WTF face.

I feel like 3oz is my boobs' limit! I mayyyyybe get to 5 if I go all night without pumping, but that's few and far between. My usual output for work pumps is generally 3oz no matter how long it's been. Maybe I'll try in the car next time;)

I'm only on the 5th episode and so far it's great. Funnily enough One tree Hill was on my list as well. I ended up going with Scandal because I already watch Greys and HTGAWM. I want to experience a true Shonda Thursday in 2 weeks. Lofty goals, I'll tell ya.
FFFC- it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what HTGAWM stood for....apparently I need to get my Shonda on more!
I'm back. I got off my lazy ass and took LO for a long walk, even though I feel like crap. Now he's bathed, fed, and sleeping and I'm ready to play. What up bitches!!
@jimbobcooter you're making me feel like a lazy bum. All I've managed to do is eat an entire box of mac n cheese this evening.
I huffed and puffed through the entire thing an did about a third of what I used to do. It was sad. I was so freaking sedentary while pregnant. Getting back in shape is going to be a painful process. If there was a bag of Oreos in the house I would totally eat them all right now.
