Oh, ugh, GC. I would send you my boobies to help out, except they were not the peppiest milk producers either. Matilda got more of my milk than anything else until she weaned at 9 months, but we never got away with not supplementing, not ever. The only thing that ever helped was the Traditional Medicinals lactation-aid tea, and even that only worked for about a week before the boobies backslid.
But having regular access to a lactation consultant is very much of the good. Though not nearly as good as a normalizing bilirubin! Go team you, wee Shanie!
{{{GC}}} I'm glad Shane's numbers improved.
I feel like I am getting sick, which is unpossible because in 2 days I am having a houseful of guests for NYD. Even if everyone I saw at Christmas was sick, I still say unpossible!
I need an apron just like that. Really, I do. Very, very much.
Jilli, when we get the protoype done, I'll send you a picture. If it looks as good as I hope, I'll have Amy do one for you with pink trim. I emailed her my sketches last night. I think the logo patch will be the most difficult part. I'd love to get it done in embroidery but that may be prohibitively expensive. But then again, she knows a TON of crafty people in Columbus so we might be able to work something out.
GC, I'm glad Shane's number improved, and I hope the nursing situation improves.
Got to work on time and I'm trying to get some momentum going. Had a minor epiphany last night about a personal issue that kept me up for a while and is distracting me today. I might need to set aside some time and think it through.
Definitely a day for listening to dharma talks. I've got that "swimming through molasses" feeling going on. Just gotta make it through the day, then I'm off until Monday.
GC - if I could lactate again, I swear by my boobies, he'd never be hungry again. I was very fortunate that I was able to produce so much. Had I known about donor milk back then, I would have done so much of it. I could pump 4 oz out of each boob in 5 minutes. When Em was 6 days old. It was awesome.
Good times, good times.
I'm rusty but there was a point when I could read both binary and hexadecimal and translate it to decimal without pausing.
And I thought I was the only one struggling to use mental muscles that I hadn't exercised in years. Decades, even.
I am working very hard on loving my future in-laws. Meanwhile, I have sent The Girl to the corner shop for large quantities of wine. I'm sure the two are not related, no no no.
I got another interview! This makes three now.
Hil, that's fantastic! Congrats and good luck :)
