Try the windi. I was a little weirded out by the concept, but it's helped A so much!
Is this for real!?
That was my first reaction, but it really does work and it's not as gross as I anticipated. My pediatrician doesn't recommend gas drops or gripe water at this age so I had to find something that worked and these do. I even had H order more this morning.

Wow! I may consider this, then. I showed the website to DH and he said "couldn't you just use a straw?"
layloo08 I don't think I would hold back mentioning that you have a kid. Of course, my oldest had ear infections out the @$$ as an infant, so I had to take a good bit of time off of work. ANDPLUSALSO the young infant room would send him home for just about anything... oh, there is a tiny speck of blood in his diaper (he scratched himself during a diaper change) - he must go home, Oh- he has acquired a rash - he must go home and don't bring him back until you know for certain it isn't contagious!
You should be covered under so many freaking laws! How big is the company? Would they fit into a loophole about you being able to take breaks to pump (breaks was almost breasts until I noticed it).
I'm just worried the wouldn't hire me if they knew... I know it's illegal as HELL but I know it happens. If I did mention it, how the heck would I bring it up during the interview?
It's a large company so it would be law for them to let me. Haha and breasts would have worked!
I wouldn't bring it up until after I got an offer. Then I would just ask in the course of the hiring paperwork, drug screens, etc. I'm mostly worried about looking for a job because an all day interview is pretty normal for what I do...just suffer through the day? Excuse myself to the bathroom and hand pump? Hmmmm...things to worry about IF i Even get an interview....sigh Good luck!
Teagan did great in her crib last night! Slept for 7 hours, so I guess she likes it. I, on the other hand, was up every 2 hours checking the monitor.
We celebrated Saturday, but today is my actual wedding anniversary. I'm off today, so we're just hanging out and I'm doing some laundry and cleaning while T naps. Maybe DH and I will do a little more celebrating tonight

runningmommy519, you've motivated me to do the 30 day shred. I've been needing a change in my workouts, so I thought I'd give it a try. Today was the first day. Ouch. And I need to do more kegels :/
The first few days are the hardest. After the 4th day you will notice a huge difference.

2dumbdogs all day interviews? That sucks. I assume you get some sort of break for lunch? Pump then, if you can. Then maybe take a ten minute bathroom break in the morning and one in the afternoon and pump. You'll be uncomfortable, but you can probably hide it.
I hate that this is even a conversation. When will employers learn to treat bf-ing with the respect it deserves? It's no big deal for people to take 5 10 minute smoke breaks during the day, but bring up pumping and suddenly it's a huge ordeal.
I've decided the house needs a deep clean. Noah has decided he doesn't want to take a nap today for more than 10 minutes. I have the kitchen floor half washed...still need to wash baseboards because I can see dog pee everywhere. Eww ..what did these people do while I was gone?

I'm an engineer and in manufacturing. It's very normal to be the only woman in an all day meeting with no bathroom breaks! I think they are just clueless, not against it at all, but just don't realize it is a consideration most of the time. And all day interviews are stressful enough...I don't miss them one bit. Lunch is generally provided, but it's usually part of the interview as well, to see how personalities mix and such. I'm often the one taking an interviewee out to Lunch.

After the park, I took Liam to Kmart to pick up some prescriptions. While waiting for them to be filled, he kept pulling the "I'm pooping" face. He grunts and turns BRIGHT RED. I could not. stop. laughing. He looked like a tomato.

Today is my last day of maternity leave. It's been a busy day. H is off today since it's a "holiday", so we went to get a sap pump fixed, went to see my BIL and SIL new house, and I took B for his two month appt.
I'm really not ready to go back to work. Still don't have clothes that fit and the house is a disaster. I don't think I got anything accomplished that I wanted to on leave.
I'm hoping that pumping goes well. I feel like I have a giant bruise in my boob. No knot or heat or red steaks, so no mastitis, but dang, it's sore.
The fair was a disaster. Soooo many people & 96 degrees. We paid $20 to park, $40 to get in, and left within 20 mins. The lines to just buy the tickets to do anything were over an hour. And E had a poopspolosion while my SO was wearing her.
Also, poopspolosion is now part of the custom dictionary on my phone so I guess I type it too much.

Awww, that's such a bummer! I hate when I spend $ on stuff that turns out to be no fun.
Last year I took a leap as a step-parent and paid $25 for a cowboy BBQ with my then 20 month old SD. I thought it would be fun to get dressed up and be around a big group. Big mistake, lol. She was WILD, I couldn't even control her, she face-planted in front of a bunch of people and I left feeling like the worst smom ever. I did learn to carefully evaluate situations though, and am now much better about not setting us up for failure!

Your posts have changed.... you seem so much happier. I am so happy about that. Hugs.

Heading to kickboxing class for the first time since I had mia! My tailbone is still healing from my fall but feeling a lot better. I have to take her with me bc DH is taking DS for a flu shot. Hoping she stays asleep!!!! Or at least peaceful! Class is from 6-7 and her feeding is due around 645 :/
I'm off today and have been enjoying a quiet day with C. We wanted to do fun things outside today but we are dog-sitting for our friend's dog who is a total jerk. He barks and scratches at the door when we leave the condo. I'm afraid we will piss off our neighbors. I tried giving him a treat filled toy but it didn't last long enough. Looks like my husband will be on house arrest with the baby and dog most of the week.
