  • @ncm0328 the nurses in the NICU we were at used to laugh at people who were that uptight about caffeine. The preemies were often given caffeine to prevent them from sleeping too deeply with no noted side effects so they thought it was paranoid and silly for anyone to fret about caffeine in breast milk. 

    My friend's doctor told her to not be that worried about a bit of alcohol in her milk now and then and certainly not caffeine. He said that sort of scrutiny is what makes breastfeeding feel difficult for women. If having a beer makes you happy and a being happy means you breastfeed for longer, go for it. She breastfed her first for 20 months and was so relaxed about it. 
  • There is this lifer who works at the target we go to. Any time we see this guy we get in his line because he doesn't make small talk and gets us through quickly. And he is a tiny Asian named Telfo  which makes us laugh. 

    Ever since we started bringing the babies, he is mister conversation. Yesterday, he up and asks us if we will be getting the babies baptized. Who asks that, seriously?!

    I was in the supermarket the other day with Lucine in the K'tan. She was alert so I had her top half out so she could really get a good look around the place.  This little old lady comes up to us and says "I saw you a few times and I had to come up to you and ask.  Is she real?"   Um . . . did she think that maybe I was carrying a doll around the place? I said yes because I was so confused and didn't know what the heck she meant.  She then commented on how small she is and how she wasn't sure if she was a real baby or not.   
    She does look like a baby doll ;)
