So for as much as I've been bitching today, here's the bright spot. The pumping room is prettt darn nice. 3 comfy chairs, a fridge, a sink w soak provided and reading materials on breast feeding.
I have a storage closet. Is about 6 by 6,full of filing cabinets. One floor outlet. Shitty office rolling chair. Jealous.
So I'm going to be an ass and post and run because I'm at work, but I'm freaking out a bit... So E was laying on my chest last night after nursing and stopped breathing. It was probably 30 seconds before I realized and hit his back and then he gasped and started breathing normally again. Is this something I should contact the ped about? Or is this a normal time for typical apnea?

I wanna drink already and it's still not noon. Having a 7 wk old, a toddler, and an 8 yr old is driving me batty. The 8 yr old wants to be the boss and the toddler doesn't like it. Ugh

Ugh that sucks so much. All the law says is that they have to provide you w a room that's not the bathroom.

I haven't read a single entry yet, but definitely will when I put DD1 down for a nap. Needed to pop on and ask:
CLOGGED DUCTS: who has magic remedies? Here's what I'm doing: heat, massage, hot shower with massage, nursing more on the right (clogged) side, dangle feeding, dangle pumping (like a damn cow, for sure), 2 TBS of sunflower lecithin, and lavender oil applied topically with a carrier oil. AM I MISSING ANYTHING??
As far as pumping goes, the hospital has a special lactation room. Read 1 room for the entire hospital and it's on the first floor. I work on the fourth and I barely have time for lunch most days. Going to the lactation room is not practical. We have a room on our floor we can use where the work phones a d batteries are kept. Which means I'm looking st a ton of in and out traffic. There's a little rice paper room divider for privacy. Still makes me feel awkward. Most coworkers avoid the room while someone is pumping.
jgesi, E has done that before too, while she's nursing she will hold her breath for what feels like 30 seconds but is probably closer to 10-12. She take a big breath after and keeps eating but I've never thought twice about it really... maybe I should? Let me know if you call your ped!
lawndog1216, no advice, I would keep doing what you are doing. I'm just impressed you have that gif on hand because that is exactly what it feels like!
I want a restart for this morning. We've been up since 830 and M has eaten twice in 3 hours, won't let me put him down, and he screamed while I poured DD'S cereal. Then DD spilled it all over the counter and into the drawer with all my Tupperware lids. The drawer won't shut all the way. I have to wash every single one of them. My oat meal is cold. DD fell backwards just a little bit and decided to be over dramatic and scream. She looked at her arm and saw a scabbard over scrape from 4 days ago and screamed abd freaked out even more. Of course, the baby woke again. I haven't had my coffee and I'm starving.
TL/DR Shitty start to the morning. No coffee or breakfast. Now I'm grumpy.
@missava387 ( even tough many others have weighed in) I don't love the bumbo yet but maybe because L sits a little funny in it.
Nothing exciting going on here. H is going to want to go out for dinner tonight but I have yoga pants and no makeup on and I think I'm staying that way. Take out sounds good to me!
lemon200 it was after nursing, after he had fallen asleep for about 10 minutes
I'd call -- the one lemon is talking about "feels" different from what you're talking about. Lemon's sounds like a poop/gas/stretch thing. while yours sounds like APNEA. Fingers crossed it's nothing, but I'd still call.

Fastest read through of three pages EVER!~
lemon200, I searched OUCH on Giphy, and that GIF was right there -- totally made my day. (Small victories!) Also, have fun at the wedding, it sounds like you have your little one covered and she'll do great with Daddy (I've always been pleasantly surprised how well MH does on his own with one or both of the girls).
hiimjamie, your day sounds AWFUL and I'm still raging over the open enrollment bullshit for you. And you know what? The pump room is lovely, but I'd be in the mood to Motley-Crue-on-cocaine-and-whiskey-in-the-80s trash that room. If your immediate supervisor didn't do HIS JOB, then you shouldn't be punished.
queenb, wait until it's all toddler parties or bar mitvahs... and then funerals. I'm a bag of fun over here. (seriously not to be confused with a bag of dicks)
elizabethnevadap, did I miss why stroller vs. wrap at BRU? My awful memory is telling me you were a Tula lover? And my mom got me a Tula Pink adult coloring book so I had to order the super nice expensive colored pencils from Amazon. They're the bomb, but I haven't had any time to color.
oopsiedaisies, if I forget or I don't make it on here this weekend - happy birthday!
ETA - elizabethnevadap I reread -- gotcha. DD2 is a bit small for the stroller (I have a double one for walking the neighborhood/jogging) but it does work. We don't have a travel system, either.
I've been at work for 7 minutes and I don't have a desk (the person who was temping for me is there), my "credentials are invaild" so I can't log into my computer and I spilled coffee on my shirt in a way that it makes it look like my boobs are leaking. FUCK.
Go home and try again on Monday! I'm calling my boss today to remind him I'm coming back Monday, I'm afraid I'm going to have all the problems with computers, cubicles, badge access, etc. Dreading it.
Crap. We need milk. I need to go to the store before the crazies come out. Just got a flash flood watch. Apparently they're expecting Saturday and Sunday to sometimes rain 3" per hour. Everyone is going to be buying all the water and canned goods. Good thing our deep freezer is not full right now. We can get some ice in case the power goes out and shove everything in there. Blargh.
shit do I need to go shopping? You are nearish Houston right?

Yea closer to Galveston. Though looks like north of downtown will get hit hard too. But I'm sure you remember the freak out last time. There was like nothing at our stores. This one's supposed to be worse. And actually happen. Eta: this is the watch for the Houston area. And they downgraded it to 12 inches instead of 14. Yay.

Ugh great. Ya last time when the tropical storm was coming there were lines at Kroger parking lot like whoa. And then nothing. The memorial weekend flooding was far worse lol. But Sunday I am supposed to come into lab to take care of something for Monday. So here's hoping it's not as bad as they think. We will likely be going to SAMs club tomorrow for bottled water anyways, so I will just see about getting some soups or canned stuff while I'm there. Hopefully it won't be a zoo.

Ya'll stay safe! It looks like most of my friends and family in Louisiana and Texas are going to get hit too. This is supposed to be the strongest hurricane ever recorded.

Is it terrible that I live north of Houston and had no idea anything was going on? Must start checking out the news occasionally.
Happens to me all the time.
TL;DR is: Huge massive hurricane is going to hit Mexico, y'all will get some too. That in combination with a cold front crossing the southern US means a shit ton of rain and authorities saying to prepare for flooding.
