What a load of garbage!
Some of you may have seen my recent pulse entry "Nothing's better than 2 sisters fighting than 2 sisters fighting in Jell-O". Let me explain.
While Craig and I were sitting in our favorite pastry shop the other evening, sans children, we were listening to two sisters "heatedly discuss" something with their mother. Bear in mind that the sisters were at least in their very late teens / early 20s. So they were discussing to whom piles of boxes and things in their basement belonged to, and there were apparently some boxes with books in one sister's pile that the other sister debated as belonging to her. Sister one said that since her father put them in "her" pile, they must belong to her, but sister two disagreed, stating that her name was in some of the books. It was all rather comical and amusing, and the fighting in Jell-O is what came to mind. We ran into the group several times over the course of the evening, and I couldn't get the Jell-O wrestling image out of my brain!
My OB gave me a prescription for Reglan; it's an antacid with a side effect of boosting prolactin levels. However, for it to work as needed, one must pump their boobages 6-8 times a day.
Folks, I only have one hand pump. And two children. Small children. I purchased an electric pump on eBay a few years ago, but the motor is rather weak. I'm trying to find out if insurance would cover the renting of a hospital grade pump. Geez. I just need to move to a damned dairy farm.
That's it for now, I'm going to eat my vanilla flax-seed oatmeal and try to convince people to buy sex toys. I'm running a 20% off sale, for those interested!

Oh, ouch. I hated pumping...felt like I'd be better off just poking a hole through one of them with a straw for better results.
careful w/ the reglan--some women report *serious* depression/ suicidal ideation--that's why i buy the domperidone from thailand!
I've been on it since Friday, and the only thing I notice so far is TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED. Of course, I also started my period last week, and I bleed for years, so....
But I read the warnings, and am aware of the side effects. Aren't they teh awesum?
Yikes....some families!
sex toys??? hells yeah!
i'm soooo happy my boobies are once again my own.
I hated the pump at the hospital. I had one of those hand pumps from Avery and I used it 10 times a day because Ryan had to stay in the hospital for a week after he was born. By the time he came home I was like a freaking cow. I hope everything works out for you with the Reglan. Doesn't the Le Leche league rent pumps? Maybe you could check into that. Good luck!!
I know where to get a rental pump, but the last time I rented one, it was $45 a month. I'd rather see if insurance would pay for it, if I can, because that's enough to buy diapers and umm....BEER!
mmmmmmmmm beer I miss beer
You sell sex toys? How the hell did I miss that?
