I'm going to go lose my shit on mil and dh. I'm in the shower, and 4yo ds comes bursting in and says "mommy, you better not come, the baby has chocolate on his face" What in the ever loving fuck?! They fed my baby icing. Chocolate icing. My 12 week old. Because I wasn't around to say no. Livid doesn't even begin to describe it since dh had asked 10 minutes prior if he could let him taste ice cream and I said no. Breastmilk is all he needs. Ohh. OH. AND BECAUSE HE IS MILK PROTEIN INTOLERANT, YOU BUNCH OF DOUCHECANOES.

Ok so I last pumped at 4 and got 55 from left and 51 from right. Just pumped now at 8 and got 45 from left and 30 from right. That means she actually got something!
Anybody know if baby-emptied boobs fill faster than pumped boobs?

I think so. Something about the baby's saliva. I don't remember exactly but it had something to do with saliva.

The whole process is supposed to be more efficient with baby vs. Pump from what I've read. I assume that means both draining and replacing milk is supposed to happen faster. Yay for you!!
Everything is booked to go visit FIL. I really hope he doesn't end up back in the hospital. I want him to meet his grandson. I'm so glad H was on board with spending the extra money to get a hotel instead of staying with FIL and his girlfriend. The last time we saw them 5.5 years ago they stayed with us, it wasn't a great visit. It will be easier on everyone for us to have our own space.
Has anyone flown Southwest with a baby? If so, was it a good experience?

Southwest with three kids. It was awesome. They are so accommodating.

Interesting. I'll be googling that shortly. Thanks!
So she ate 50 from her bottle, plus maybe 25 or 30 from the boobies...and she's cranky from shots...so that's about right. She's only been taking about 80 or 90 today since her shots.
Told dh when he got home. He was like, oh cool. I won't have to get up in the middle of the night.

ampaints southwest is my favorite airline because they are awesome. I've seen babies on Southwest planes and they seem well taken care of by the flight crew.
ampaintshiimjamie uuugh that is so annoying when people are like that! I am not "officially" celiac. My GI doctor thinks it's highly likely. I haven't had a biopsy because I got so much better when I cut it out. If I accidentally eat it, I vomit for about 48 hours and then I always get some upper respiratory infection afterwards and my asthma flares up. I really don't understand that part. Anyways, it sucks. I miss dark beer, and bread, and would never do this by choice lol. Although when talking to people I do say I'm celiac so they at least take me seriously and I don't have to explain myself. You guys can flame me for that lol.
If you want to be "gluten free", fine. But plan your meals accordingly and for the love of all that lives, don't mention it to cook to make them clean everything and then use soy sauce. Gah.
Hi lawndog1216! Glad things are getting "normal" again for you. Some of us have decided to become FaceBook friends. If you have a fb and are comfortable sharing your name, send me a message on TCF
I haven't been able to keep up on here so well either, so being able to see all the LOs has been awesome.

*****possible trigger early labor worries*****
DHs pregnant Co worker went home today because she was having really strong bh contractions. She's the one who has been bitching for weeks that she's so sick of being pregnant and is being monitored fir pre-e. She's due late December/early January...so that makes her somewhere around where I was. Prayers would be appreciated for baby to keep cooking. I feel like a horrible horrible horrible bitch, but I feel like she's jinxed herself.

Was she the one who thought you were lucky for going early (was that you who had had a coworker say that?)? I wouldn't wish early labor on anyone, so positive thoughts headed her way.

DSHM13, she told DH several weeks ago that she was tired of being pregnant (she would have been about 22 or 23 weeks then). She told him she was jealous that we had a newborn and we could sleep through the night because she was in the nicu. She said that she didn't care if the baby came early because it was working out so well for us--absolutely no sarcasm in that statement. I don't think she said I was "lucky" but she said a bunch of other crappy things.
And I'm so NOT wishing anything on her. The nicu is not something I'd wish on anyone. I just feel like she jinxed herself by being so unbelievably dense. I don't want it to sound like that's what I'm saying.

motownthrowdown gosh I don't think you came across that way at all!
ETA you of all people would be the most understanding of her situation...though I wonder if she realizes how her comments sounded now that she is going through this
motownthrowdown gosh I don't think you came across that way at all!
Ok good. I'm feeling like it's hard for me to feel sorry for her, but the baby deserves that extra time to grow. So it's very conflicted. Typed words don't convey my feelings very well in this one lol

DSHM13 and I doubt it. Everyday, she starts things of with complaints about how tired she is, how fat she's getting, how her feet hurt, etc. She's got at least 2 more months to go. Plus then you have a crying screaming baby to take of lol.

I'm sure this has been answered. I flew with DD1 when she was 4 mos. It was amazing.
There were extra seats so I brought on her car seat (we were going to gate check it) and she chilled the whole time.
