She's 4 weeks old tomorrow.....

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks already. Physically I'm just about back to pre-pregnancy stage. I'm already back to pre-preg. weight, which is GREAT (although I have another 12-15 that I'd love to lose!) and aside from the lactating breasts, you'd never know that I just had a baby ( Read more... )

Now that we are in the home stretch, I'm starting to worry that I'll have a harder time than expected after I get home. I think I'll be ok, but I've never done this before, so it's all still new. I still don't feel attached to him, I know he's not mine, but you just never know.....I did go ahead and start my antidepressants, so I'm getting a leg up on it ;)
I'm planning on pumping for him too, and so far, I'm leaking like a faucet, I'm hoping I'll do ok, but if not, we'll deal with it. BTW, how are yall storing and shipping the milk? We are going to go w/ the Evenflo containers and not sure about how to ship yet though, any advice???
You can call me if you'd like someone to talk too, I'm home 24/7, lol.
Sending tons of hugs!!!!
Felicia.

My IP's set up an account with UPS, so when I'm ready to ship, I just do it all online. They come right to the door and pick up the package.

I ship from MA to NY via ground and it gets there the next day, but if you're shipping far, I'd definately do next day air.

What I do is I store the milk in 4 oz. increments in the Lansinoh storage bags. I lay them flat in the freezer so they take up less space and it's easier to pack that way too. I buy 10 lbs. of dry ice and the dry ice company sells cardboard shipping boxes with styrofoam coolers inside. I put the frozen milk in first (I put each day's worth in it's own paper lunch bag too) then the dry ice on top. My IP's just reimburse me for the cost of the dry ice and the storage bags and they get the bill for the shipping charges directly. Works great for us!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I think you have done an amazing thing helping to create a family.

I'd love to see pictures of her, if you can share them.

I thought about you the other day realizing that our December babies-well, my impatient November Turkey Bird and your December Jingle Bell-are almost 5 years old! Cayden has been in all day Kindy since September and he's blowing me away :)

I hope your crazy hormones give you a break soon and that your family has a wonderful holiday season! *hugs*
