Ha, so this afternoon I got my pumping supplies out of the fridge at work and sat down in my office to pump….and had to hold my breath as I put the freezing flanges on my boobs to keep from squealing! 
Note to self: put the parts in the fridge, but keep the flanges in you desk. Brrrrrr!
Anyone else having one of those Mondays? Share your note to yourself!

Note to self: You are pregnant... one pbj is not enough for lunch. Wake up earlier to make an adequate lunch to bring or else you will die from hunger.
Luckily, there was leftover Panera in the lunchroom from a lunch meeting!
@indi: Oh my goodness, cold boobies are awful!! Haha

@indi: ow, haha!
Note to self: if you're taking LO to the playground, bring some toys, otherwise he will try to eat all the wood chips/pine cones/pebbles he can find!

@indi: my boobs are always hot so I actually enjoy cold flanges...call me crazy but I find them kind of soothing!

Note to self: when husband goes to get you some water and keeps asking "do you need anything else" from the store you probably do! (aka have him get you a snack!)
Today was a pretty great day though. It is our Saturday and we went to the zoo with lo. She was so happy and then we took her to the park 
Yesterday we took her to the gardens and she had so much fun!

Note to self: always throw the moby Into the stroller basket when going on a walk w lo: even if she's asleep when we leave, she could wake up and demand to be held upright! It was a challenge maneuvering the stroller and dogs while holding her today, luckily my mom was w me, I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to walk the dogs nyself w baby...

Haha I actually also enjoy the cool flanges but I only pump once a day to build up back up stash.
Note to self: on mornings when it feels like everything is going wrong, remember mornings like this morning where everything went right. You are a good mum.

@nana87: impressive, lady! That's a note to self for me as well
Note to self: check LO's diaper when she's screaming her head off before you go offering her yet more food. It could be that she's just wet, and then you'd save yourself the hassle of clean up when she spits up the entire bottle she doesn't need.

@nana87: my Lo was the same with the moby. Now I don't bother with the stroller when walking to dog, I always put her in the beco. So much easier- though we only have one dog. It got a lot easier when she had good head control.
Note to self: when Lo seems to be finished nursing, don't keep trying to top her off. She will spit the rest up on you.

@nana87: damn girl, well done!
Note to self- never, ever assume that a home improvement project should only take the weekend to complete. When you do that you end up with no washer, no dishwasher, and no water pressure for a week.

@LovelyPlum: @meganmp: hehehe, that actually wasn't even the most impressive part: even though she had JUsT nursed before we left, she started screaming in the park so I nursed (w a cover) and changed her diaper. Outside. Seriously could not have managed without my mom with me yesterday! We were joking that lo has now officially inaugurated our local park

@Foodnerd81: funny question, but can you clean up after the dog while wearing your lo? I'm nervous to try leaning down to pick up after them with her on me, it's so much easier to do that with the stroller

@nana87: I know this wasn't directed to me, but I can clean up after my pooch when LO is in the ergo. I just support her head with one arm and use the other to scoop.

@indi: I liked them cold!
@meganmp:
Note to self: Never assume people just won't invite others to a BBQ at your house. Next time, take that option off your evite.

@nana87: Yes, but it got way easier once she had head control. When she was teeny (and still now, to an extent) I did a deep squat so my back stayed pretty much straight. Like @NurseMommy: I would put one had behind her head, and pick up with the other. Stand up, then tie the bag up when you have two free hands again- very carefully
The first few times I did it I felt like super woman-- Look at me! I have walked a dog and a baby at the SAME TIME!

@swurlygurl: Ooh, I remember those days. Okay, who am I kidding, with BFing, those still are my days. Eating like Pacman!
@MoonMoon: Playground or all you can eat buffet?@PurplePeony: @SweetMamaM: @Smurfette: You gals are brave! I even turn the space heater on in my office while I pump. I'm a wimp.
@Greentea: Snacks are always accepted.
@nana87: Superwoman!
@LovelyPlum: @Foodnerd81: It's always the sneaky wet diaper that leads to our pukefests. I've finally gotten DH in the habit of checking first before giving her over to me to nurse.
@meganmp: 
I hope that wraps up soon!
@NurseMommy: I use that method, too.
@Smurfette: Whaaat?! Who does that?
