Re: *~* July Sparklers' Tuesday Check-in *~*
Mama Jan's Kitchen... a food blog
What breast pump are you planning to get?
I'm getting my sister's Medela Freestyle (coolest thing ever) when she's done with it. Of course I'll replace the tubing, shields etc. I don't plan to pump until Brody is 3 weeks (the reccommended age to introduce a bottle).
Since we are leaning towards FF, we are not purchasing a pump. My friend is letting us borrow hers and we'll just buy replacement parts and sterilize. She has a nicer one than I'd probably purchase anyway.
M: Father's day was okay. I just was feeling to well.
T: I'm formula feeding.
lets see. I am finally on here early enough to see the check-in!
M: (1) How was your weekend / Father?s Day? (2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? (3) How are you feeling these days?
Weekend was way to hot. We had a heat wave in middle GA. in the 100's and 90%+ humidity. Horrible!
Updates: I had my first internal done yesterday and the strep be test.
....I was a littel over 1 cm dilated. Hooray for progress
I am feeling okay. Somedays are better than others.
T: What breast pump are you planning to get (if any)?
I have the medela freestyle. DH got it for as gift for the shower. I thought it was very nice. I told him about but I did not want to spend that much. I was going to opt for the in-style...but DH thought this would be better after his research. LOL!!
T: What breast pump are you planning to get (if any)?
Right now, I have a manual Avent pump...but after going through my breastfeeding class, I think I'll end up needing the Medela Electric Dual Pump..so something similar. If BFing works out, I'll be pumping at work once I go back (at 6 weeks)...so I will need something quicker than a manual!
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
T: What breast pump are you planning to get (if any)?
Lasinoh Double Electric. Same pump as the Ameda.
This! And I am also on the list of women on bedrest.
M: 1.) Father's Day was great! We didn't do much but I took DH to the Dogfish Head restaurant for dinner. 2.) Not many real updates except that I am officially over this and I still have 5 weeks left! 3.) I feel like crap these days. Every time I get up from sitting or laying I feel like I've had the hardest workout ever and I have to pee every 5 secs.
T: I've decided I'm going to try to rent one from the hospital before we buy one. But if we buy one, I will get the Medela Pump n Style.
M:
1.My weekend was fantastic. Helped two friends celebrate their very special wedding day! It was gorgeous and full of great people. I have DH to thank for acquiring some great friends.
2. I have my 36 week appointment next Tuesday- OB will check LO's position and I'll do my Group B Strep test. Wish me luck!
3. I'm feeling terriffic, other than feeling quite huge. I'm definitely ready to have my outside baby and have my body back.
T: My lactation consultant recommends Medela brand. I will probably get the single manual pump!
