adriennella - Sunday, 26 October oh thank you for your sweet post. We really did have a wonderful day!
I hope you're having a wonderful weekend with your family, too!
tto - Sunday, 26 October I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast- does it matter if it is instant? Sometimes I get a little more than 2 on one side and 6-7 on the other. I notice the lopsidedness, but I don't know if anyone else does. I don't think I leak anymore when he is nursing on one side. Does that mean I'm regulated? Do you still wear pads and a bra to bed?
tto - Sunday, 26 October Oversupply? I'm jealous! I don't epump- just once at work (can't do more) and once at night. I have recently noticed I'm getting about an oz or two less than normal so I am trying to get that back up. I started to build a supply in August, went back to work first of September and had no problems with how much I pumped through the whole month. I noticed the decrease through Oct. I'm trying goat's rue now. I have one side smaller than the other and that herb is suppose to help. Thanks for your help!
tto - Saturday, 25 October I saw your name on the epump forum. I have a question- how do you pump in a way that fully drains your breasts? I pump for 2- 25 min, until I see no more come out. But I can squeeze the nipples and more milk comes out. How do I get it all?
adriennella - Friday, 24 October Ok, well I hope to see you on Monday or Tuesday at IKEA.
My school is really great, but we're having major budget cuts and I was just informed that I need to buy all of the pencils, crayons, and glue for my classroom with no reimbursement. My principal even took away our paper! I'm not even kidding. I'll have to be creative and get some donations. I'm already down several hundred dollars and I really don't think I should be the one paying for paper. Sorry for venting. i just found out today.
This site has been a great way for me to talk to moms going through the same thing as me. The week by week thing was my savior when I was a super-neurotic pregnant person. I'm a much more laid back mother than i was a pregnant woman!
Many years ago, I had a few dates with fellas from online. I work with only women, so it was a fun experiment. I ended up meeting my husband in a coffee shop, which is a much more romantic story. You'll be my first online friend meeting. I think it's cool.
adriennella - Thursday, 23 October I teach 2nd grade in a really diverse school. I noticed that I have Indian, Philipino, Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, white, and African American students in my class. They're a bunch of cuties. I do have one that I'm going to have to nip in the bud, Mr. Pencilshooterwhinybutt.
That's too bad that it's hard to get a teaching job up there. People leave the teaching jobs here because they can't afford housing. We rent. I love it any way.
I have a childhood friend and a college friend as well as wives of musicians that my husband plays with, but most of my friends are teachers with babies. They're a great group of girls.
How long until you come down? I'm kind of getting really excited to meet you. Is that silly? Just nice to meet a new person sometimes.
adriennella - Thursday, 23 October Oh crazy lady, let me give you $50! You can give whatever portion of that to the lady. My mom gave me some money and told me to get something very special for the baby, and this is what I'd like to get. I think I'd like an off-white or cream colored coat. Yours is soooooo cute in pink, but I have quite a few pink coats. What do you think?
Maybe you'll find a Halloween party or something at the last minute. I'm so out of the loop with my friends right now that I don't know what's happening on Halloween either.
Work was ok. My sub was wonderful and helpful, so I was able to get a good handle on my students. Of course I'm going to change things when I go back full-time on Monday, but for the most part, I seem to have a sweet class. My closest friends all work with me here, so it was really nice to see them. I only cried for about an hour and was only caught by the janitor.
Thanks for asking about the sweater and my day. You're a sweetie.
adriennella - Thursday, 23 October cuteness! October is so darn cute that I've started making my family and friends look at pictures of her!
adriennella - Thursday, 23 October Thank you so much for asking about the coat! I don't think the lady is charging enough AT ALL!
I'd be happy to send you $50 to cover the yarn, the knitting and the shipping. Would that be ok? I'd love the coat to be just like yours or in off-white. Cotton would be best.
October is just the cutest thing in her bee costume! Did she like dressing up?
Are you going out for Halloween?
military~mommy - Wednesday, 22 October Thank you for that, I was feeling pretty crappy yesterday and you helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel! Hope all is well with you and October

samlib - Tuesday, 21 October adorable lil bumble bee ;)
military~mommy - Tuesday, 21 October NP, more than happy to chime in!
military~mommy - Tuesday, 21 October It could be allergies, when mine kick in my eyes get REALLY itchy and my friends baby girl Jocelyn had the really pink lowwer eyelids (looked like goth pink eyeliner) and she was diagnosed with pollen allergies. I'm allergic to cats and whole slew of other stuff, so you would have to look into geting her tested for various allergens.
adriennella - Tuesday, 21 October I went on an insane run around IKEA tonight, half of the store in an hour. Thought of you. I probably won't go again until the day I meet you for swedish meatballs.
Thanks for asking about the sweater! Let me know what she'd charge. What size was October when she had hers?
adriennella - Monday, 20 October This is a beautiful picture. You really have the most gorgeous baby!
I showed Russell and my aunt pictures of October tonight, telling them that she was the cutest baby on this site. they agreed!
