This boy is so going to grow up to be a Chapstick addict like me.
A has seen me put on Chapstick so many times that this morning after I did it I turned towards him and he held up his little face and let me put some on him. It was freaking adorable.
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.
I've noticed the same thing and I assumed a long break would have the opposite effect, but since Christmas break I'm not getting as much output as last year.
ETA: mrsmonogrammed thanks for the protein tip, I think it helped today

We also have to remember that the quality changes based on what our babies need. There will be a higher fat content now since they're older. Quality not quantity.

True, but an ounce a day (which I was getting last week after 60 combined minutes of pumping) isn't going to meet his needs.
Maybe TMI, but do you let down more than once? I have to get at least 20 minutes of pumping time to get my second letdown.
I've got a new student today. My entire morning has comprised of a constant stream of "Mrs. C, Mrs. C, Mrs. C...." along with tapping and whining if I don't answer immediately. Even during my lesson. Oooo-weeee this sweet kiddo is a doozy.
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.
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
My friend with the 5/5 and 4/4 also has a June baby.........6/4. I was sure she'd end up with 6/6, but she didn't. Plus, she was due after me and had her baby first, so I hate her forever.
Not really. She's one of my favorite people. I just tease her that she missed out on a hospital party because she would have still been there when I was there if her kid was born on 6/6.

My rain boots have developed a couple of tears in the rubber, so I need new ones (rain boots are srs bsns around here) I am looking online and while just scrolling through my eyes keep stopping on ones that are the same brand as the ones I have now. I don't want to get the same brand since these ones developed holes sooner than I thought they should, but they are just perfect, not crazy looking, but cute.

I know there aren't too many Shameless or Walking Dead fans on here, but there is a teenage (14-15 yr old) Carl on each show, which I didn't realize. My brain did, however, when I dreamt that both Carls were helping M try to take a nap, last night. I'm so psychic. And so random.
billyhorrible Yup. I understand that they want us to go through the scientific process with the kids, but I'm the one that's putting the stupid board together. Meanwhile, way to be productive on the cooking front on the weekend!
shahoi it is! BTW hai! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
budders yay for pumping up the supply! (See what I did there, yeah awful, I know) I like that you're trying your best to stay positive. I hope the sub aide was receptive & cooperative. Ugh to the hole in the way

H went and picked up his new car this evening. He forgot the garage door opener in his old car, so used his key to open the front door. The dog thought we were in mortal danger and went nuts. Somehow, ds slept through this. I'm not sure how, but I am so, SO thankful to the baby sleep gods right now. Please continue to smile on for the rest of the night!
