Fat? Homely? Poor? Oh My!

Posted by: lifelemons on: September 10, 2008

Last Thursday as I wrapped up my shopping trip in Walmart accompanied by Hannie and my one of my BF’s. I am getting rung up by the cashier and as she swipes my formula can she says:
Cashier: Do you have your WIC card?
Me: What?
C: If you have your WIC card you can get your formula [...]

Nursing No More…

Posted by: lifelemons on: July 15, 2008

Last week I stopped pumping and nursing altogether. The baby was not wanting to nurse good ever since I went back to work, she seemed to become lazy and only wanted the bottle. Then when I pumped I got the most minuscule amount of milk, I used to get an ounce per boob then it got less [...]

Birth Control.

Posted by: lifelemons on: March 31, 2008

It really doesn’t even belong in my vocabulary.
I decided long ago that birth control was the devil and screwed my body up. No doctor has ever given me reason to think this but I do. I haven’t been on birth control now for five years. (Wow as a side note, I never stopped to realize [...]

Must Not Fall Asleep

Posted by: lifelemons on: March 20, 2008

The baby has no clue what night and day is, for the most part she sleeps all the time. However, since Tom has returned to work on Monday she likes to stay awake, all night. Now anyone that knows me knows that Heather with no sleep is not a good combination.
 She literally did not sleep [...]

The Beginning of the Next Three Months

Posted by: lifelemons on: February 27, 2008

Today was my official last day at work! Wa-hoo!
I took four vacation days prior to the induction because I wanted to. I don’t really have anything to do that I can think of. I might just straighten the house up a bit, hang out at the mall and finish up doctor’s appointments. Good times! Once [...]

Really? Nothing?

Posted by: lifelemons on: February 12, 2008

Went to the OB today…nothing going on there. I am neither effaced nor am I dilated. Really it kind of bummed me out. I had contractions for a good amount of time on Friday night and then again Monday night. I thought for sure that would start this ball rolling but, nothing.
I do have that Group [...]

Childbirth Class (Day 4)

Posted by: lifelemons on: February 4, 2008

Almost forgot about this day…
Last Tuesday we had our fourth class. It consisted of a tour of Labor and Delivery as well as the area you go after you have the baby. It was nice to be able to see everything and I was surprised to not hear any screaming or anything. I guess I just have [...]

Me? Procrastinate?

Posted by: lifelemons on: February 2, 2008

I’ve never been a procrastinator but somehow I seem to be procrastinating! Even more shocking to me is that is just hit me that I am procrastinating.
Monday the nurse at the OB asked if I had my bag packed for the hospital…um no. She informed my I needed to do that. Then she asked if [...]

Ultrasound Day

Posted by: lifelemons on: January 31, 2008

What a fucking morning this has been.
It is my first day back after being out sick from work the past two days. Well as you all know Thursday is my weekly ultrasound. So I plan to go to the ultrasound,  have a look at the baby and then head back to work.
We start our appointment [...]
