Thursday Thoughts: Boob talk and milestones

I’m joining Jen at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for her Thursday Thoughts linkup, so here are some thoughts currently in my head.

I forgot to write about what the lactation consultant said last week.  Basically, Jenson is lip and tongue-tied and that’s likely causing the plugged ducts/mastitis because it’s not fully draining the ducts when he’s nursing because he’s not getting a perfect seal.  It may also account for his reflux, and could cause speech and teeth issues later for him.  So we are going to a dentist near Dayton after Easter who specializes in there so he can laser the ties.  He’s the only one around who uses laser, which heals better and doesn’t require sedation. The dentist emailed with me a little and I feel comfortable with the situation.  If we get there and he decides it’s not necessary, he won’t do it.

No nursing pad mishaps at volleyball this week, but I wasn’t hitting well.  Maybe it would help if I got back to the gym.  I lost the weight, but I am weak for sure.  I haven’t even been napping on my lunch instead of working out.  It’s just that pumping takes so long at work that I’ve just been working through my lunch, or doing personal things I need/want to get done on the computer instead.

I need to figure out an outfit/outfits for Jenson’s 6 month pics!  We are going to be in a couple, so I need to think about that too.  I have NO style.

He can sit pretty well on his own now!  But his sleeping through the night strike is still in full effect.

Lastly, several people in my life have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.  It’s crazy and it sucks. All have good prognosis, but still have hard battles to fight.  They are too young.  Send positive thoughts for these people and for a cure for breast cancer!
