We're apartment shopping today. Possibly moving out tomorrow.

@heelibrarian I'm so sorry!!!

kelly422 · February 2014

@nykkolaughs I know this isn't ideal, but you could wake up in the middle of the night to pump. That's when prolactin levels peak. When I was waking up, I would get a TON of milk at 3 am!

@nykkolaughs said:
I was dreading this option, but if I don't get more than 5 ounces today, I'll be setting an alarm. My milk supply is SO low... I usually wake up, full on both sides, nurse her on one side and get 5 ounces off the other side. The past two mornings I've woken up kind of full on the nursing side, but the other side looks so empty and I am only able to get 2-2.5 ounces. This is bringing me to tears. @kelly422

Stress also effects your supply! Maybe treat yourself to something nice like a massage and try to relax and that may help!

@wasnotwas Guinness got me drunk but I didn't produce more milk. I manged to get 2oz yesterday (pumping 5 times) and 2.5oz this morning. Only 14.5 to go

For breakfast I had magnesium/calcium, fenugreek, mothers milk tea, oatmeal with flaxmeal and water water water. Milk should be coming out of my eyeballs by lunch!

Sorry for the millionth suggestion, but a hot shower before I pumped helped me. I would shower in the evening after DD was in bed and then pump right after.

Sorry you are having a rough adjustment @phishy xoxo So far we have only used ready made formula for Cal bc we weren't using it that often. I want to switch to the kind you mix with water. Can I just use tap water or should I use bottled?

Boiled tap or bottled.

DD was up with gas from 1-4 am. I would have popped in here but the light of the phone would have made the fight that much worse. Plus, I'm always like "surely, she'll fall asleep any second..."

My cat that has stomach cancer is now puking up all food. We're going to have to pull up the carpet now, I'm sure. Time for a frank "end of life/quality of life" discussion with the vet. I don't know what to do.

UGH.

So sorry about your cat!!!

tttwalters · February 2014

@heelibrarian, so sorry about your cat.

BunnyLove416 · February 2014

@libberluru we use tap or filter from the fridge if I think of it.

AW: my uncle and aunt came over today to take some pictures of DD. My aunt bought an adorable tutu for her. Can't wait to see the photos.

@araziza what did they use as the backdrop? We are doing DD's birthday invite pictures soon and can't figure out what to use.

They are professional photographers so it's a real backdrop sheet/canvas. Then they put some tule (sp?) around where she sat. You can look for a nice tablecloth or blanket and drape it over some chairs for a similar effect.

Canadian mom: I know we miss out on a lot of awesome food things, but I do love PC brand. Just finished a package of these little penguin fruit snacks and they were very good, and semi guilt-free because there's no added sugar, just all fruit/fruit juice. Worth checking out if you have a sweet tooth.

@daffy2k
Sad moment today!!

momofcatan · February 2014

@westerndiva that sucks! At least you know they carry it... @samanthaashley93 a quick google looks like you can find them on etsy. Worth checking out.

daffy2k · February 2014

Aww @WesternDiva!! That sucks! It's sooo good!! At least you know your store has it. Too bad you couldn't stick up on that sweet sale!

I will try those!

So the company I hair model for wants me to do a competition this weekend that would involve them cutting my hair very short. My hair is very thick and currently half way down my back. I do not have to go back to work until June, however we have 4 weddings between May and October to go too. WWJ13D?

momofcatan · February 2014

@tttwalters. I think you can pull it off. Is your hair long enough that you could donate it? That would be awesome.

dmlk413 · February 2014

I hate that my husband sleeps during the day. I have some juicy gossip to tell him about a friend of ours but I don't want to wake him up! It's driving me crazy!

kelly422 · February 2014

@ttwalters I wouldn't do it, but that's because I could never pull off a short haircut. If you can pull it off, go for it!

I was actually thinking that would be a plus, I could donate it and have done that before. A friend lost her hair and I am having lunch with her tomorrow, maybe I will ask her if she wants it!

@tttwalters How short is very short? I cut A LOT off my hair and donated it (awesome), but I cut mine into a longer pixie. I wouldn't suggest going super short unless it's something you are SURE you're on board with because growing it out has been a biatch. If it's like a chin length bob and your hair grows fast.. I'd say go for it.

tttwalters · February 2014

@tiffletons518, short! The stuff that wins competitions is super edgy and trendy stuff that no one would actually have their hair done as normally. I am also worried about the awkward growing out phase.

Cricket81 · February 2014

I am sorry all you Nutella vs. cookie butter ladies, but the point is now moo.

This stuff is freakin' delicious!!

tiffletons518 · February 2014

@tttwalters Yikes. Unless it's something you REALLY want to do, I wouldn't do it. For me it was a HUGE change and it was fun. Time wise, it was amazing with 2 kids. But, as it started growing I had a lot of weird awkward hair days, and not being able to pull it back to run seriously drove me bonkers. I'm sure you'd rock it because your hair is gorgeous, but I'm being the negative person here. Lol.

itsStackie · February 2014

@tttwalters I'm donating my hair Thursday. That said I am making sure it's a cut that looks okay growing out and is low maintenance. Do you know how they want to style it?

Ok, so I finished BB. I don't know how I feel about the end. I feel like it was very anticlimatic. I am glad about some of the things that happened (I don't want to type them out in case some are still planning on watching....). Like people getting what they deserved, etc. It was a good ending to the show, and I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess not that. lol

I agree. Everyone kept saying how amazing the Breaking Bad finale was, but I was disappointed with it.

But then again, I am not a big fan of too many finales. I still can't talk about the last episode of Lost without getting angry! :-q

Omg yes! Every time Netflix suggests Lost I get pissed off all over again. @seashell002

Eta serious quote fail

tttwalters · February 2014

@tiffletons518, I forgot about running

@majwv8, it is fun to have them do things with my hair, the crazy colours are tons of fun, and the makeup and costumes!

@itsStackie, that is so awesome you are doing that! Unfortunately the style is all about angles and colour so the style is out there. They "fix" it after, but that involves more cutting and shorter hair.

tiffletons518 · February 2014

@tttwalters I did love it short. It was quick to do, but you also kind of have to do your hair everyday. No option to just throw it in a ponytail. I honestly will probably go short again someday, but not for a long time. When I do it will be when I plan to keep it short. Never want to try and grow it out again. Whatever you decide it will be gorgeous I'm sure!

No longer the best · February 2014

@tttwalters I don't think I could ever do short hair!! Do you have a picture as an example of what they might do?

tttwalters · February 2014

@nolongerthebest, I think this is the hair style she won with last year. I don't think I am going to do it. I love my hair too much.

needanustart · February 2014

@tttwalters I wouldn't do it. I cut off 14 inches on our honeymoon and donated it and it was super cool, but the growing out part really sucked and never looked good and I hated it as a runner. I had a to wear weird pigtails with a headband for a while and it was way too cutesy when I wanted to look badass running!
That sounds fun to be a hair model though!

WasNotWas · February 2014

...no comment about the weather...

@tttwalters yeah I couldn't do it!!!! Save the hair!!

ColieAnn31 · February 2014

So working just isn't for me. Grayson has not adjusted to me being away from him and now no one can comfort him but me. Before I started working he would let my mom and SO hold him and comfort him and put him to sleep. Now all he does is scream and cry until I come and take him again. Me being at work causes more stress then it should and I only went back to work for extra money. We can live off my SO's pay. My SO and I had a very long talk about all of this tonight and we both agree that it's best if I just continue to be a full time SAHM. I just feel bad for my job because they just hired me. Ugh, but I have to do what's best for my family. Not to mention one car is just not going to work with both of us working. Sorry for the rant. I just needed to get that off my chest.

So in other news Billy Ray Cyrus is currently number on the rap charts with Achy Breaky Heart. Thoughts?

This is not okay. How can he be the definition of one hit wonder now?

itsStackie · February 2014

Just woke up to a screaming baby and a big piece of poop. Hopefully she skips her usual 5:30 wake up now.

eta: not my poop.
