Hey Tami,

LOL it sounds like I have a LOT to look forward to when Noah gets older. I actually decided to go ahead and buy a breastpump today. We've been renting the hospital one for seventy dollars a month and if I use it ten more months, it's going to cost $700! So I just ordered one from Well.ca (and used a ten dollar off coupon of course) for about two hundred. The reviews all said they were renting the hospital one too and switched without problems so hopefully it works okay. That way if I do get too fed up with the breastfeeding I can always go back to pumping/bottle feeding.

Won't be able to make the meet either so I'm glad I won't miss you! Noah and I are going up to Gramma's for the week. (Hopefully we'll get to the beach too! Can't wait to see Noah in the water! I thought that two months might be too young but apparently my mom had me in the water at one month. LOL. We'll see how it goes I guess.)

Hi sheets!!

how's it going?

No luck yet. We have an offer in on a house and if our house sells in the by Aug. 18th, we will be moving Sept.7th. *fingers crossed*

Tudor always impresses me. She is running this till Aug 17th which should give members lots of time to post lots of music videos. I felt kinda awful posting the eminem/rhianna vid, it is the song/music I like , not the message so much. Too late now. Ha ha about you having no life...ME TOO then , as I am here so much these days.

OOH! You were the first member to notice that I changed it! I felt naughty, lol Hope you liked the music videos I posted for ya in Tudor's contest.

Thanks for the rep!!!!!

SC should have some kind of sound icons!! Whoooo hoooo!! for the Hot guy pics!!! LMAO!!

He actually did really well with his shots. He got one in each leg and he was already crying when she gave them to him because he was starving. So we popped a bottle in his mouth right after and he stopped crying right away. He's got a big red mark on one leg today and it's a little swollen, but so far he hasn't shown any of the side affects she mentioned so that's good.

Things are going much better today. DH got up to feed him at 6 and I ended up having to get up to pump anyway and then Noah actually slept until ten. I BF him at ten and we finished around 10:45 and he's been asleep in his playpen ever since. We'll see how it goes the rest of the day. About to run down to check my mail and then eat some lunch so I'll have to feed him again soon after that and then maybe we can get a nap in today.

Hope you are having a good day and I'll talk to you later. *hugs*

Thanks Tami, it always helps to hear that I'm not a bad mommy. I just wish DH would have said something to the doctor. Usually he's very vocal about things he's not happy about and it just made me feel like he was siding with her. He sent me an email this morning saying how worried he is about me not getting enough sleep now that I'm BFing and not pumping so I told him that if we're doing this HE'S the one getting up in the middle of the night and bringing the baby to me and changing/burping/putting him back down to sleep again. That's actually what they told us to do at prenatal class, but then we ended up switching to the bottle because he just didn't want to take the breast.

Today is going better. I find if I start feeding him when he first wakes up and is still sleepy it's a lot easier. Especially if my breasts aren't super full of milk. When they get like that he has a hard time latching on which makes him frustrated and starts with the screaming/punching/crying/etc.

Hopefully we run into each other tomorrow. LOL. With the Dr and going to the mall for some shopping/lunch I didn't have time to get on at all. Took me two hours to do one feeding with Noah (with the breast) and by the end of it we were both crying and I had to put him down or I would have shaken him to death I was so frustrated. I'm a bad, bad, mommy.

(LOL I always run out of letters writing back to you pouring my soul out. )

Sometimes a break is good! It makes you appreciate the other person a lot more and gives you time to cool down from any frustrations you've been having. LOL. I know because I have to have a 'break' from Noah every now and then when I feel like chucking him off the balcony.

Just so frustrated with my family doctor telling me I have to breastfeed and not pump/bottle feed. Like seriously? You should be happy I'm giving him breastmilk and not formula, not giving me crap for doing what works for our family. She wants us to pay for a lactation consultant and everything. She says it will be so much easier for me. Easier? Seriously, how is going from a bottle every three hours to demand feeding every hour easier for me when he beats the crap out of me for trying to feed him with the boob. So mad I could spit.

hi sheets

Sheets, I feel like we're playing phone tag without the phone. Hope you had a good day with your little man. Mine was fussy but he's sleeping now so trying to get caught up on the forums! *HUGS*

lol. I couldn't resist. I love those pics, they always make me laugh. lol.

I haven't seen the youtube. Is it based on the book? A friend emailed me the "Go to F@#* to Sleep" Book and I almost peed I was laughing so hard. lol.

Lol! "Farm"! I will be there!

yup I do : )

woot party!!!! lol

Hi Tami! I'm a newbie from Orleans. Nice to meet you.

soooooooooooooooo how did it go?

Sheets, every time I find a post on the board that seems like it might apply to my life, there you are! I was just looking through the depression thread and thought my goodness, I wish this woman lived closer to me because we're surely destined to be friends!

I've suffered from depression since I was a teenager and it's always been hard for me not having any family or friends who really understood what I was going through.

♥♥♥

Good night sheets, sweet dreams to your kids!

oh ya! I say go for it! PMS POWER!! I mean really it worked out funny that day they denied me the aspirin coupons, the cashier scanned my milk and I told her it was the wrong price, she goes " the price scanned is the price " Hmmm, really? Long story short, got $5.77 milk scop! I got the last laugh.

my walmart ( Milner and Morningside ) denied me the coupon outright! Said they considered it a photocopy and over the last weekend they got taken for many many bottles, so they were no longer accepting them. So I got penalized because of shelf clearers. too funny. I did not really need it anyways, just wanted to see if I could get enough overage to cover my bag of milk.

enfalac, similac too, and all smellies ( febreeze, glade, etc) as DH does not want to breathe in " chemicals " . Any Finish/jet Dry ones as I do not have a dishwasher ( ha ha I just made myself lol as I put dw (short for dishwasher, then saw that it looked like Dear Wife! ) Maybe I should nap huh? getting too giggly.

perfect! Now I see these expire too soon probably, but I can get more in the next inserts and I usually get extras and I usually coupon fairy at the stores, but I really want to help sc members first if I can. Thanks sheets.

ok no sadness, question time. If I had diaper coupons to give away, how do I find who would/ could use/want them? I mean to just mail them to them, no trade. I don't know how to discreetly ask around here.

aw sheets you are welcome, ya caught me tearing up here, FunShopper got her McD's card today! and Me@Katie got her stuffed envie from me and then I had to pm FunShopper Nancy's thread, and thus waterworks all over again. Other than that I am fine lol

let me take a peek
