Already there's another midwife visit to report. In 2 weeks we go to weekly visits! So exciting.

I did! Christopher's is great. I think I still have a bottle. If they aren't expired you can have 'em. Did she also recommend extra primrose? That helped me greatly.

You ROCK. Thank you so much for the pills! Er, I mean that in a non-drug-dealing kinda way. She did not recommend extra primrose but I was reading through the packet last night and saw that is is recommended so I'm upping my dose. This is SO EXCITING!

WHOAH, I had no idea hand-expressing was possible! This pump better be magical, 'cause dang it was costly (and I got it on Ebay at less than store-cost!). Since I willl have to go back to work (big frown) I will need to pump lots, so this seems like a good investment.

Yes, as much as I SOOO looking forward to Sept 12, I do realize that it's more a fuzzy idea than anything else and I will hopefully not let myself get too disappointed if the day comes and goes. I really think he'll be late, so hopefully by telling myself that NOW I wont' be disappointed later if he is!

That is exactly why I'm so excited about the classes: other mommas who are as far along as me and who are doing homebirth, too. I can't wait to make friends! And for Ali, too, to have other papas to talk to. Good stuff.

Thank you thank you!

i had a friend who said the breast pump was her best friend. supposedly the pressure can be almost unbearable for some people, which makes them stop breast-feeding all together.

Yeah, all the working mothers I know sing high praises of their breast pumps and say it's why they've been able to continue breast feeding even after maternity leave is done. I hope I can stick with it!
