Pumping and Increasing Supply
So lovely ladies...talk to me about increasing supply. I'm down to 4 oz while I'm away and baby girl eats 8. It's not just pumping output, it's supply overall. I can tell she's not getting nearly enough. She's 10 months old. I'm setting an alarm on my phone for every 3 hours at which point I'll feed her if I can then pump for 20 minutes.

Cleaning out the kitchen. Throwing away expired food sucks, but whatever it takes to make more space and get better organized. Saying goodbye to all the crap food as we finish it off (I'm too cheap and would feel horrible to throw out perfectly good food). Next step will be canning jars and jars to store food in the fridge/do our own sprouting. I ( Read more... ) -
She's here...
Caelyn River is here! Started contracting on my own at 2 am today but waited it out until my scheduled induction time of 6 am. I wasn't quite progressing as much as they wanted so we started pitocin...it was 4 hours from the start of my iv until baby was here. 3 contractions worth of pushing and she was here. No tearing! Thank goodness! I feel ( Read more... ) -

Mason is so much fun at night. He's cuddly and playful and sassy, but listens when he has to! :) Love it. Love so much that he wants to sit on my lap and cuddle up with me. We sat on the floor and watched football tonight, it was awesome. -
MCATS...again?
Alright, so it's done. I have registered for the MCATS in 2012. I will score higher. I will actually apply to med school and not talk myself out of/ whimp out of it. I will study my ass off for at least an hour every day from now until then. I will make my dreams happen. Here's to living up to the expectations that you set for yourself, even ( Read more... ) -

Changes
It's amazing how we get to where we are. Today. This day. I went with James to go get a marriage license. Today I facebook stalked my ex fiance. Today I talked to an old friend, and old lover. Today I wondered how I ended up here. How I got to marriage. Me...I was never the type you bring home to mother. But he brought me home. Others had ( Read more... )
