so what are you thinking right now?

DH's Skype interview was cancelled today and they made him an offer. It is $5k less than we really want, but a substantial increase over what he makes now. He is now talking with another company that he interviewed with to see if they will make him an offer. So excited, but still nervous at the same time.

:huggy: What kind of insurance only covers up to $5000? You sure it's not that it doesn't kick in until she hits $5000?

Yes, and bras. DS got in the car after school and said "Hey you're wearing jeans! I haven't seen you wear jeans in years." :redface:

Stopped breast feeding yesterday so I need some extra compression and support. The girls are killing me.

Ouch. Was the boob feeding not going well or you just wanted to be done with it? (just curious)

Did you quit cold turkey by choice? I didn't have any problems with Lex, but I slowly dropped feedings/pumping and it was a piece of cake.

Been dealing with cracking issues on/off for about the past 6 weeks. Tried a million things, they'd heal for two days and then crack again. Because of these issues, I'd weaned down to just pumping twice a day for the past few weeks. Got a big crack on Sunday that turned into an oozing sore so I decided yesterday that I'd had enough. I usually only last about four months and figured I went 5 1/2 months this time and I honestly couldn't take the excruciating pain anymore.

Sorry if that falls into TMI.

ETA: I've weaned with all 6 and always have this pain, soreness, fullness, feels like boulders for about 4 days.

I don't think this board ever has a TMI.

I bet the timing is the difference. I wanted to make it a year, but around 10 months I wasn't producing enough and had to start supplementing with formula. I get the pain - I fell asleep when Lex was latched on (he was maybe 3 days old) and he used me as a soother for a couple of hours. Holy crap that hurt.

These look like what the nurses gave me to fix me up and they worked wonders.

Never had a problem again (as long as I remembered to use them) and I was super careful about positioning.

Even though you've already quit, why don't you see if you can't get some to help you heal.
 
Yikes Valerie I remember that pain (the cracking)................it's like nothing else. :huggy:
 
My sister works for Medela so she has stocked me up on Pruelan, Hydrogel pads and Breastshells. They all work great to heal but then when I would go back to pumping 4-5 times a day, they'd crack worse than the time before. So I'm throwing in the twel and yes, I feel a little bit guilty about it.
