My shower is tomorrow, my inlaws are coming up this afternoon, they're getting a motel but coming over for dinner. DH is still working tonight so he wont be here. Sooo I made a hair appointment for late this afternoon and will hopefully be missing most/part of the visit today and see them tomorrow..
Last night was the first night that I seriously considered skipping pumping in favor of sleeping.
I only was able to do get up because my supply has been doing the funky chicken the last week, and the advice I’m getting is to pump regularly often. Which I’m struggling with in the afternoons/evenings, so I’m trying to keep it up overnight and daytime at least.
@knottieamusements EPing is so hard!!! You should be super proud of yourself. It was helpful for me to set an alarm and use an app to log all my pumping info to stay on track.
No work today. I stayed in bed until 10 and am now piddling around before showering. I know DH wants sexy time before he leaves, but I have no interest today.
@KFrob - I am doing that. The problem I am having is that in the last week my schedule in the evenings keeps getting screwed with by appointments and changes to Max’s schedule. There is no rhyme or reason to what is going on and I have very little control over most of it.
I don't like our new cubicles. There's a window all the way around on the top quarter of it, and I sit along the isle, so everyone who walks by can see me and what I'm (not) doing. Plus, it makes stealing a quick nap at my desk impossible.
@knottieamusements you're doing great with the pumping, keep it up mama. little changes here and there won't make a huge impact. You can always power pump while driving or during a long stint at home if you need to in order to help mimic a cluster feed and keep your supply up.
@knottieamusements that sounds so frustrating! Sorry, I hope everything settles down for you and you can start a routine soon. Also, what @dellusion said
Seconding the pumping while driving @knottieamusements - just don't be like me and forget that you're doing it when you stop to talk to the security guard at the parking garage gate...
Since they took me off work I have basically done nothing this week and it has been glorious. Everyday I have played Pokémon Go after dropping DD off at daycare. It does help that I’m still in a lot of pain so tackling my to do list isn’t going to help the pain subside and at least I can play sitting in my car.
Anyone else seriously annoyed with their SO and everything they do? DH keeps singing loudly and out of key to Every. Damn. Song. and it's driving me crazy! Car rides are absolute hell.
@jemmerjams yes!!!! DH likes to make up songs and sing them loudly in the house (he can’t sing either). After working all day I have to tell him to shut it because I can’t handle it right now!
I flat out told DH to f off today. I've been having BH since last night. They have gotten more uncomfortable as the day goes on and I'm also having some really bad pelvic pain. Add to that I'm cranky (I tried to nap after a park date for SS and my siblings and I could not get a good sleep). Tonight we were patching someone in at our club who is a good friend of ours, so I "had" to go. DH comes over to eat dinner with us and asks if I'm ok. I tell him I'm in pain. He responds "so you're ok". I told him to F Off. He asks if I need to go to the hospital and I told him I'm getting there. That shut him up. I'm tired of him dismissing my pain and discomfort.
@sammierose464 good for you! I'm sorry it came to that though. If you were uncomfortable then you shouldn't have had to go. Theres no reason to put your body in overdrive
@mamabearcj I didn't have to go, but I really wanted to. The guy who was patched in is a really good friend. I was only there for about an hour, long enough to eat and see him patched. He took his frustration of being overworked because they were busy (last night we served burgers and we have a full service bar) out on me.
@jemmerjams yes! He eats too loudly, he continues to breathe while he chews and last night he had the audacity to look at me while I was speaking to him... at least I know it’s me and don’t take it out on him too much and he’s been great about me being crabby about nothing.

@eireyes that sounds like a horrible setup. Desk naps sound amazing...

They fit in your bra so you're not out there and can take them out when you get where you're going, rather than in the car.
I swear he wasn't this annoying before.
