Tuesday Randoms

I thought I would begin this Tuesday by sharing some sage advice from my sister.
Loss Blog (finally updated)

Re: Tuesday Randoms
The flavors of the season were pumpkin spice and...cytotec. (That is the drug they sometimes use for inductions, right?!?!)
I woke up almost laughing, but hopefully this isn't a sign of an induction in my future!
So I think I want a pumpkin spice latte but I don't actually want to get dressed to drive to Starbucks.
Yes!!!
My acid reflux/heartburn is getting so bad I actually sometimes puke in the evenings now. It starts off as a reflux and then continues until I'm running to the bathroom to puke.
I'm eating MUCH smaller dinners now for fear of puking in bed again. No fun.

Christ the state of our apartment X_X
Luckily DH is home from work today to help clean.
I really don't want to though.
Maybe a Dunkin Donuts hazel nut coolata will help me start things off.

I don't know why I'm surprised, since my hospital is from 1982, but I now don't want to breast feed at all. It's too complicated, and it only left me with more questions.
Like, she said once the baby's 48 hours old, to start setting a timer on my phone for every 3 hours. If the baby's not hungry in 3 hours, I can wake her up to feed (this does not excite me) or, if the baby won't wake up and feed, I can use a pump. I'm unclear on if I'm pumping to empty the breast entirely (because what if baby wakes up in an hour and THEN wants to eat?) or just a little (I think just a little). Then, like, if the baby only feeds from one side, do I pump the other side?
I want to build up a supply for when I go back to work (although I'm taking at least 12 weeks off, so I do have time), and she kind of didn't go over that.
She seemed REALLY nice, though, and when we got there, she was like "You're related to Lisa!" (Husband's aunt is the head baby nurse there) So maybe we will get special treatment. Although, she only works Monday-Thursday, and she kind of said herself that waiting over a weekend with a breast feeding question is too long, but she won't be here from Friday to Sunday, so if I have this baby on a Friday, what do I do?
Someone here will help me, right? My internet friends?
She DID say that I should limit the amount of people who hold the baby, because the baby will get confused, and should really only be held by me and my husband if I'm trying to breast feed. This pleased me. Don't care if it's true, but I'm going to say it is.
Somebody pass me a donut please!
Love Once Upon A Child! So far the only clothes I bought for LO have come from there, including his "homecoming" outfit.
My mom also kept calling it "her baby". I got really snippy one day and said "no, this is my baby or DHs baby...you had nothing to do with it". She got really ticked and pulled the whole "I brought you into this world" crap. But she has backed off.
