|make the moment last|
i can't believe my time is almost over with madeline. just when i was starting to get the hang of it. just when she was starting to look at me, and stay away a little longer.... and smile.
some days, i looked forward to going back to work. but, mostly, i have this awful sense of dread about it. how will i be able to go so many hours without looking at her fat little cheeks, or smell her baby/spit-up scent?
i'm on the search for a pumping room, now. i've already emailed my attending for october to warn him. i hope he is pretty laid back... he is an immunologist, after all. if anyone can appreciate the importance of breast feeding, i'd think it would be an immunologist.
so, now that we're getting into the swing of things, i'm discovering all this CRAP that i bought that is completely USELESS. well, actually, less-than-optimally-functioning is more like it. i guess that is part of the parenting game. all these bottle accessories and such. overly-complicated.
in an effort to stash away breast milk, i had stockpiled a few days in the fridge. la leche league says that it is good for up to 8 days in the fridge. ha! poor madeline was really mad when she got sour milk. twice! we didn't know why she was fussing the first time. we finally caught on the second time. so, we're keeping the stash ultra fresh, now. no more than 48 hours.
she calls... gotta run.
