Getting Infertiles Drunk One State at a Time!

What do you think the caloric needs are for a newly pregnant, still nursing mama are?  Because I am fucking STARVING all the time.  And not just, "hmm, I could use a bite."  It's more like, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT GIVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT BEFORE I PASS OUT AND/OR STOMP ON YOUR STUPID FACE!"  NOM NOM NOM!!!

This doesn't quite tie in with my lazy mom mode because I pretty much haven't been to the store in 2 weeks so all we have to eat is cheese and cheerios.  We are down to the last half gallon of milk too so someone is going to have to take one for the team and hit the store.  (1,2,3 not it!)

But really, I'm not it.  I'm leaving tonight for New York!!  I am so freaking excited I pee a little every time I think of it.  I've never been to NY so I am a little nervous about getting around and have looked up about a gazillion travel sites to figure out transportation.  After all of this research, however, I have decided to wing it.  I get in at the ass crack of dawn and nobody else gets in for about 4 hours after me so I figure I have time to make something work.  Apparently there are shuttles, cabs and buses galore so I am feeling like I will work it out.  As long as I'm not hungry.

I will miss my kiddos like crazy, but MY GOD I am excited to be free for a whole weekend!!  I am, of course, going to have to pump while I'm there, so The Infertility Brigade (a nickname I have given our group) is going to attempt to have at least one person pumping at every famous landmark.  I think it's an important quest. 

Thought Vomit Thursday

Can you believe it's TVT again?  It seems that every other post I write is a TVT, so either I need to post more, or just get used to thought vomit as the format for all of my posts.  Oh wait, it already is.  So here goes.

- I am not so good at the Photoshop.  I've tried to figure it out but mostly I just screw up the pictures and then close them without saving the ridiculous changes.  Right now I am attempting to make a scrapbook of L's first year of life but I don't really know where to get that sucker printed so I am resorting to the online one you can select in Photoshop.  That is, I'm waiting for my 80 iPhone photos to upload into that program right now.  Perhaps I need a new computer as well.

-  L woke up at 7:30 this morning, which I realize is not that early but I was fucking tired and tried to get the Hubs to get up with him and let me sleep for just 30 more minutes.  He wouldn't do it and I turned into a holy terror on his ass.  Okay, I was being slightly unreasonable, and I probably should have kissed him goodbye when he left for work.  I'm a Scorpio.  It's a curse and a blessing.

-  I'm not sure what is going on with my jugs, but they seem to be trying to wean L on their own.  He seems to be constantly hungry and when I try to pump, I am getting hardly anything.  This normally wouldn't be a problem, but this mama is going to NYC in a couple weeks and leaving the baby at home!  So he needs some milky.  I have a few bags in the freezer and am trying to make myself pump a few times a day to increase my supply, but I am already having self dialogue to reassure my brain that he will be 10 months by that time and I am feeling okay about formula for the weekend if needs be.

-  So YEAH... I'm going to NYC bitches!!!  Woot woot!!  I am on the western half of the United States so New York is not just a place I can go to regularly.  I've never been.  And I'm SO excited!!!  Every time I see it on a show I get all giddy!  I watched "Friends With Benefits" the other day (fucking hilarious!) and there's a whole section of the show where she is showing him around New York.  It made me happy in my pants.  P.S. Eastern half of the US... I have been to Las Vegas a lot though.  You should go there.  I'll meet you.

-  Back to the weight loss sitch.  It's not going very well.
