More bad milk news

We got out as much as we could out of the dying freezer but we lost more milk- a total of 768 ounces.

On top of that my milk supply started to drastically decrease. I am hoping it is just stress from losing all that milk and not a permanent reduction. (I had been very fortunate to have a very large supply up until this point.)

I have started to increase my number of pumping sessions and the time at each one to try to get my supply back up. I have also increased the amount of water that I am drinking. I drink so much water now that I can't go more than 45 minutes without a trip to the bathroom.

I have been very upset at each pumping session when the milk doesn't come out like it used to. I end up crying after each pump which can NOT be good for my supply. I am going to try to calm down and see how thing go over the next week. My friend at work said that there are some medications that can help so I feel better knowing that medication might be an option.

Megan will be starting food soon so our daily milk needs should start to go down. I'm just hoping that we can make it to a year so we don't have to spend money on formula.

Jumperoo

Daycare said that Megan loved the jumperoo and that I should buy one. So I took the camera with me to daycare to get video of her jumping. She had no interest at all in jumping.

Sad Day - Milk Lost

Yesterday morning Shawn noticed that there was what appeared to be milk on the garage floor.

Last night he inspected and found that the bags of milk on the bottom shelf of the freezer in the garage had started to melt. He said that the bags smelled really bad.

So he took out the bags and disposed of them - all 320 oz of milk!!

It may not be that many days worth of milk for Megan to drink, but it took me hours and hours to get it. I just keep thinking about all those times I got up in the middle of the night, now wasted.

Mom, stop taking my picture already



I want to play with my singing alphabet wheel

Just because I have cute clothes doesn't mean i want to smile

I fell in love with this top at Gymboree when it first came out. But their clothes can be very expensive and I didn't want to spend the money. Well, when I was in the store and found it on the clearance rack for $5, I HAD to buy it!!
