I have the most miserable fucking head cold right now. One that can only be treated with excessive amounts of oxycodone and cheap tequila. It is 2:30am and I'm awake sniffling to myself, creaking and watching Bad Lip Reading on YouTube (which you should really check out, just sayin ( Read more... )

Being sick on top of everything else just sucks. I hope the cold goes away soon.

I think, all things considered, that you are indeed doing a fucking kickass job with it all.

*hugs* if welcome

I live in an area that's just like yours, the school is centred in the heart of the richest area. I hate going there picking up my kids because they all don't work because they don't need to work. I work. I work at a local grocery store making ends just meet while my husband goes to school and completes his degree in UNI. It's hard but it sucks, because they all drive, and i don't. I ride the bus. They all say "why don't we meet there, at such and such place" I pipe up, "i don't have a car" they all stop and stair at me like I have the plague. "you don't?" I shake my head. "no, is that a bad thing?" them "how do you get around?" me, "by walking and or riding the bus" that to them is lower class stuff. I sigh and say "well, time to go," it feels so shitty. So I know how or where you're coming from ( ... )

I saw this article in my local newspaper, and thought of you. I too suffer from chronic pain and know entirely too well what it's like to not have enough spoons on any given day.. Chronic pain is entirely too invisible, and it's too dammned hard to get help.http://www.ottawacitizen.com/health/pain/live+this+life+pain+Canadians+with+chronic+pain+struggling+find+help/5485126/story.html

You ARE doing a kickass job. And this might not help much because it's a while away, but at the least the feeding problems will get better when she starts solids. Solids, even purees or yogurt, are so much easier to deal with in the mouth than liquids. I say this while sitting here watching my previously 100% tube fed child (because she eventually gave up even trying to nurse :\) eating a pepper and tomatoes and noodles and cheese. I never thought it would happen for Molly, but it did, and it will for Zephyra too. Hang in there. :)

Thank you. This really helps...

If solids are easier, would breastmilk yogurt be an option? I was going to attempt to make this when my daughter was only 4 months and was shaking she wanted to eat solids so bad. I ended up not being able to because I can't let down to a pump, but from what I read it's totally possible to do with breastmilk. You just need a starter, and I like to use a yogurt maker because it's easier, but there are other ways to do it like a stove or a crockpot.

Also, I have a bunch of bags to store breastmilk if you want them. I thought I was going to pump this time, but I couldn't get it to work out. I ordered these bags that you are supposed to be able to hook up right to the pump, but they didn't work at all (lots of spilling). I imagine they would still work to store milk though, they just look a little weird. I don't know the cheapest way to ship, I'm in the US. Let me know if you want them.

I'm not comfortable giving her solids, in any form, before her gut is mature. Among other things, the choking risk is high and she already has a hard enough time.

Thank you for the bag offer, but I actually got an offer of 350 from another user and I think that'll probably get me through. :)

Not only are you a kick ass mom, but you are an inspiration for people too. I know that sometimes that is weird, but you have an amazing following of people who look to you and you might just be the only person telling them it is OK to feel this way sometimes. Just by finding your blog I have learned so much about homebirth, unassisted pregnancy, parenting, pain and pain management, things to take to my doctor (still figuring out if its fibromyalsia (sp?) or something else, but with what you've posted we're looking into it now), etc.
