Another positive for today: I already have 2 oz and I'm only 3/4 of the way through my first pump. Last week it took me two days worth of pumping to get 2 oz, so this is much better.
I've found that after breaks from pumping (Christmas, blizzard) that my output is much lower than normal. It takes at least a week for it to get back up.
One last thought and this should probs go in the private board thread, but I think it would be way more fun to openly debate membership to the private board.

musicfrk2002 Hugs... Working through some PPD over here too. It's so hard to get help, especially when life is so busy. You're going through a lot right now!

Great news @hazeldublin! So happy to hear everything looked good. Good luck with your flight Joolschweets. My H is the same , literally packing at the last minute. It drives me insane. Yay for all of the waving babies, so cute! I'm taking O to the Dr today. This fever keeps spiking, it was 39.8 this morning. he's coughing hard enough to vomit and he is only sleeping for ten minute stretches. Poor thing. Maybe I'll run into michyme123 lol!!
I have a feeling the protected board is going to bring out a lot of lurkers. I already see it happening. Did we decide on a rule about who gets to join? Like a certain post count or you have to be active a certain amount of times or whatever? Don't want to start drama just checking. I trust our mods though in allowing the right people in though
I think we left it as the mods having the final say.
I hope all the sick babies start feeling better and that tired mamas get their rest and/or caffeine today! E is going to be 9 months old this week. I was sent a questionnaire to fill out before his appointment for next week, and it asks all sorts of things related to where he is at with verbal skills, gross motor, fine motor, etc... I'm going to be practicing with him a lot now to see where he is at and what skills he is ready to start working on right now.

Rough night at our house. Gianna woke up crying 4 times and had to be walked around the house to settle her down and wouldn't even nurse. That's never happened before and it sucked.
I'm feeling surprisingly okay today though.
The weekend was really nice. My mom's surprise retirement party was great and she was completely surprised. Yesterday we relaxed a lot and watched the Oscars.
Our local ale house is releasing a keg of Pliny the Younger tonight so hopefully we'll get there in time for it. Yum.

It's crazy how much my attitude is affected by my pumping output, both good and bad. I know I shouldn't let it affect me so much, but I do. Good job, Budders boobs!

Went in after LO woke up this morning and discovered a bunch of little dried blood/saliva spots on his sheet. I figured it came from a crack in his top lip. I don't really think there is anything I can do besides watch it... right? Any ideas?
I was just thinking about how many pregnant moms are probably hoping not to deliver today!
I brought food over to my friend who had her baby Feb. 2, due March 4. She was soooo worried about this! When she had the baby I texted her - "guess you don't have to worry about a leap year baby anymore!"
Typing this out just made me realize. One of my friends has a child born on 5/5 and 4/4. This friend has a child born on 4/4 and 2/2.

Try some lanolin ointment, if you have any.
I do! I will give that a try. Thank you!
This boy is so going to grow up to be a Chapstick addict like me.

Not quite the same, but so far mine are July 5 and June 4, so I expect if we have a third it will be May 3
I do this with BH too, if I'm watching him. Kid is obsessed with them.
My LO loves Mum-mums......the bag, not the cookie
Ours is the bag the diapers come in - he ALWAYS grabs it. If it's a super fussy day, I'll let him play with it for a bit. I figure if I'm sitting right there and watching him, what's really going to happen? If he puts it over his face, I just pull it right off.

I put aquaphor on LO for everything. Wind-burned cheeks, dried nostrils, chapped lips, even patches of irritated skin. That stuff works wonders.
ETA: pic and fix spelling. Huh? Where did my pic go? Eh, forget it.
