I am brilliant
Be prepared to be astounded by the level of intellectual supremacy you are about to encounter.....
I just went to pump for the first time today. First pump of the day means the boobs are still fairly full and therefore shoot milk very quickly. I get everything hooked up, turn the pump on, and settle in with my book. It takes a second for the milk to let down, so I am sitting there...
La La La...This is nice...la la la...OMG WHY ARE MY PANTS GETTING WET? ::looks down:: Oh good gravy, I forgot to attach the bottles to the pumps.
Then, while frantically trying to turn the pump off, I broke the seal around my boobs which dribbled the pooled milk into my bra. So now, I have a damp bra and two large wet spots on my pant legs.
To top it all off, I was so frazzled that I forgot to pull my cami back up and almost walked out of the room with it around my waist and my black bra hanging out the front of my sweater for the world to see. Thankfully, I noticed that before I got the door fully open.
So yeah, how is your morning going?
Re: I am brilliant
Adventures in pumping, yay! I spilled 3 oz of milk yesterday in the pump room at work. I usually have a surplus, so no big thing, but BM is a PITA to clean up. Lucky I didn't get any on myself since this was midday.
I have too much to wrap up in my old job before I start my new job. I actually have no idea how I'm going to get it all done and it's making my head hurt.
You know what's also fun? When you work for a financial services company and the credit card readers in the cafeteria stop working. Considering most folks here are all cards all the time, all hell breaks loose.

I hope you remembered to attach the bottles.
you'd better believe I looked down after reading.
This is why I keep a supply of paper towel in my pump bag.
:::takes notes::: "attach ALL parts to Breastpump Machine before pumping . . . "
my morning is moving sloooow. I go to the OB at noon and I'm meeting a doc I haven't seen before. Mine is KU also (due 2 days after) so I'm meeting all the women in the practice so I am not dealing with an unfamiliar face during delivery.
Oh god, I'm cringing. Concentrate on the fact that you didn't flash everyone?

Well, that was an excellent post to start just before my lunch break, Cali.

Motherhood is glamourous.
Andy is at home with Lila today and asked me what i wanted him to make for dinner. On the one hand, that's nice. On the other i'm a control freak when it comes to food. Just clean the house and leave the eats to me, there, Charmaster Burnsalot.
It was clearly labeled! You have only yourself to blame.

awwww. poor mashed.
I just had a dull, constant nausea during the first tri. I'd trade a couple of full on 1st tri puking sessions for the sniss/liss problem I'll have for the rest of my life
I've never done the forget the bottles part... but have definitely done the thing where you lean to grab something and break the boob seal, and dribble that milk all over your bra. So fun.
I had m/s up until 19 weeks. I would puke pretty much every morning, but most of the time it faded as the morning wore on so that the rest of the day was just low-level nausea. But the morning sucked big time. I had a store of plastic bags in the bathroom so that I could puke into one as I peed, because I would puke so violently that if I tried to do that first I would end up peeing myself.
That worst however was the one time I was peeing, puking into my plastic bag, and the dog came up and puked onto the floor in between my feet. That morning I was tempted to just crawl back into bed.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

Cali, I just read this. Yes, it's gross, but very funny. I lol'd at the 'puke poncho'.
