hey, look at me, i'm online, woo-hoo, etc

my mom is moved in, the computer is set up, the cable is reinstalled - and here i am. except i am so tired-to-the-bone, and sick, and mentally fogged over, that all this access is wasted on me. it's a shame. milo is almost over a mild cold, but i have a raging one, and i've spent the day asking, "are you sure?" to every other health professional to whom i've spoken when they told me i could take sudafed while still acting as milo's feed bag(s). so many people are not paying attention to what they do. it sucks. at any rate, i'm taking straight robitussin, and trying to sleep (impossible), and trying to drink (challenging), and holding my head over milo's froggy vaporizer as long as i can stand it, and i think i'm going to live. tomorrow, or the next day, we're going to a hotel, somewhere, maybe here, but i'm going to get a night on fresh white sheets that someone else besides me has to wash, in a room with none of the clutter of my life, and then monday i go back to work. many mixed feelings there, but not the energy or time to explore them tonight. what i have explored thoroughly is the cuteness of babies everywhere, and due to my exhaustive research i can authoritatively inform you that milo is the best and cutest baby i know. seriously. i am a lucky, lucky duck.

I'll be thinking of you when you go back to work and hoping that the transition is not too heartwrenching for you.

Nooooo, you can't be going back to work already! Time is moving too fast, dammit.

Work seems like a parallel universe to me. The same as before...and then I have to pump. Weird. I'll be interested to hear how you feel about it.

Get over that cold, enjoy the hotel stay and that cute, cute baby. Oh, and post some damn pictures of that kid will you!

I found one dose of Afrin helped me breathe for 12 hours without hurting my milk supply. And it was so nice to breathe!
Good luck with going back to work.
