Oy, Mondays

It's funny but now that I have been getting up at 5 am for 4 weeks, I am not really "awake" until I've had my coffee. I am kind of zombie like until I have my first glass and after my second (I make myself an Iced Mocha every morning for the drive to work) I feel like I am ready for the day. The drive to work was pretty good. I was just really tired today and I don't really know why. I guess I went to bed an hour late last night and then I wore myself out cleaning yesterday (and donating half my shoe collection). Speaking of cleaning, I have such a good little house husband. ;) He did dishes all last week, some laundry, and kept up with the cloth diapers. He kept our place tidy and made me dinner. Finally in the kitchen where he belongs.

Pumping was good today. I think it is just starting out the week pumping that makes me pump a little less than Friday. I only pumped 13 oz today. There is a new woman pumping now at work. She has a 7 week old baby in the NICU. He was born at 25 weeks. She returned to work temporarily so she could have some time with him when he comes home from the hospital. That is so awesome that she is pumping and feeding her baby. She told me she isn't allowed to attempt actual breastfeeding until he is 34 weeks (gestational age). I hope she keeps at it. She said she needs to buy a pump because the one she is renting from the hospital is $60 a month! Isn't that insane??? Pumps like the one she has are between $80-$300. For a little bit more money she could own it and keep it.

Alrighty, ladies and gents. Nighty, Night.
