Good morning. No theme here either. I haven't been on in a couple of days, the semester is in full swing and I have been spending every spare moment (like I have a lot of free time) on homework and studying. It's kind of a catch 22 with going back to school as an adult, I'm so much more focused and serious, but I have way less time and more responsibilities. If I could only go back and kick my younger self in the ass... Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Gina

I'm heading home today.  DD is still a bit overwhelmed, but its because the baby isn't wanting to latch onto her breast and feed.  She feels like such a failure and I'm trying to convince her its not like that... but all I really can do is just listen.

She's exhausted.  I'm sure that doesn't help. She (and I) are amazed at how a 7 day old baby has such a strong will already. 

I was able to get out and take a 1.7 mile walk yesterday - it felt great!  I've been sitting so much it feels like my muscles are atrophying!

Wondering how I had the energy to keep up with my kids sports and homework when I was 200 lbs. I am feeling good and enjoying being on the go, but sure would enjoy a day with out anything to do!  Pretty sure that won't happen until they move on....Have a good Tues Friends!

AWE.... I feel so bad for your DD!!  I feel bad for you too, because it is hard to watch your daughter  disappointed and you can't help her.  Usually the nurse make sure the baby is latching on before the Mom leaves the hospital.  Didn't they have anything to say to her to help?

My DD's little one would suck for hours and never get satisfied. After weeks of no sleep and totally exhausted she tried pumping and that's when we realized that their just wasn't enough milk coming in.  She would pump until she was sore and there wouldn't even be enough for a bottle.  Poor little one was probably starving.

Yes, they had her latching before she left the hospital, but then she just would stop - she didn't want to work at it.  They went to a lactation specialist yesterday - and yesterday Wynn latched - last night she decided she didn't want to again. 

Yes its very hard watching - nothing I can do for her... 

Well - one thing she IS doing is producing a LOT of milk.. way more than the baby can drink now. 

Wynn can drink about 2 oz at a time then she's done - kinda sounds like us back in the early WLS days huh?  LOL

How long do you think she will try?  My DD felt so guilty giving up. 

My girls used to laugh because the babies could drink more than me....LOL  It made me wonder how small our pouch really was.  Sometimes the toddlers still eat more than me.

She feels like a failure.  But I think she's coming to grips with it now.  She may give it a try a few more times but decided she wasn't going to keep putting both of them through it.

Just taking a break, I'm at work.
I have been bouncing between 178-180 for a week....178 this a.m., maybe tomorrow I'll see 177!!!  I'm not calling this a stall yet, but....I'm ready to see a NEW number.  I upped my goal weight to 154 (highest normal BMI), so I only have 24 lbs to reach goal, which is great !!!!  Of course, I want to loose more, just thought the higher number might encourage me more ...The games I play with myself. LOL

I'll be on vacation next week and won't have a computer around or scales!!!!...sometimes I loose more on vacation....don't usually snack...too busy.  Going to a regional bridge tournament...sitting 10-12 hrs a day, but I will LOVE every minute of it (I know I'm sick LOL).

Now if the sore on the tip of my tongue would get better!!!

Have a good day all my LW friends.

I am trying to get my desk cleaned up at work.  It looks horrible.  I have paper everywhere.  I used to be a very organized person but the last few years I have started stacking things everywhere.  It is time to get serious and clean this mess up. 
I'm half way through my desk and it looks so much better and I feel so much better.  Maybe I can find something now.
Hope everyone has a great day.
