GM's thread about nothing (26 Viewers)

I thought if there was ever a woman who would tell the hippies to screw themselves and put her kid on formula, it'd be the woman who couldn't stop herself from drinking while pregnant.

Also, YSR, here's something none of those doctors tell you: breast feeding makes your boobs look weird and deflated for a few years after. You can also lose a good cup size too - permanently.

So sobriety for over a year and deflated breasts. Think about it.

I'm here for you if you need any more advice.
:mellow:
What? I wasn't lying. Doctors never tell you that about your breasts, but it's totally true. Also, you have to remain sober when breast feeding. Also you can't take any real medicine.

True story that happened to us when Flaming Bird was just 3 months old -- We were living in LA. Mrs. Fly gets bit by a spider. It's a little red mark on her arm, no biggie.

Then it grows 3X the size in one day.

She goes to the doctor. They have no idea what bit her, but are afraid to give her real antibotics because she's nursing. So they give her this low grade stuff that won't hurt the baby.

The poison gets worse. The wound grows to the size of a baseball. No exaggeration (I have pics somewhere). She had to be admitted to ER where they lanced the wound because so much icky stuff was in there and if she let it go any longer she could lose her arm.

They kept her for three days, the whole time leaving my dumb ### alone in a small LA apartment with a three month old boy who never drank formula in his life. The stubborn little ******* wouldn't eat for almost 24 hours. I was so freaked out I called our doctor at home at 11:30pm. He was not thrilled. "Mr. Fly, the child will eat sooner or later. He is not going to starve. It's human nature to live." CLICK.

Yea. So that's what breast feeding will get you.
Wierd but breast feeding is about the best thing you can do even though it ruins the boobs.
Yea, I know. The milk is genetically crafted for your baby. Still. I was fed on formula and I turned out....well, ok let's not talk about me. There's millions of normal people out there who sucked the bottle instead of the teat.

Plus YSR's proclivity for drinking is the real issue anyway.
A lot of it depends on what the mother eats. Cos and YSR might be the only people interested in reading this.

edit: I didn't realize things were getting a little serious business, I just found it interesting a couple weeks ago.

This motherhood thing is kind of awesome, but mostly because we have a very easy baby so far. Sleeps a ton and only fusses when she's hungry. She's also super cute, IMO, and is already showing lots of personality, so I just kind of stare at her all the time.
:thumbup:

 
Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Sara's intracranial pressure was a little high, but still in the normal range, so that is not causing them, but they're going to run some labs on the spinal fluid.

Of course, a side effect of lumbar puncture? A "spinal headache".
Tough stuff. Hope it gets better. I used to work for a doctor that manipulated hormone levels. I got fired because he came to realIze I though he was full of shot. But a lot of patients swore by his treatment for pain relief. Have you guys looked in to any hormone allergy stuff?
They definitely get worst near "that time" and she is taking some hormone stuff. She has also looked into some hormone therapy stuff but some of it seemed like quack science.
Shuke, has she tried hypnosis or acupuncture? I guess it might be worth a try.
Hypnosis no, accupuncture yes.

Not sure what your angle is here. YSR insinuated that she got a pump so she can drink and then "pump and dump".

 
Had dinner last night with a friend from (old) work and his wife. We were sitting outside, and by about 9:30 I could feel I was getting eaten up by mosquitos, but the conversation was good and I didn't want to be the one who said we should go, so I just rolled with the discomfort. Woke up this morning to find I have 39 mosquito bites...on my right foot alone.

Nice knowing you guys. :cry:
JFC, were you using On?

That SLB post needs a little more love. Someone like me who s really slow today, didn't get that until just now.

:bag:

 
I don't understand the new "YSR drinks too much" shtick.
:shrug:

I've always felt it was a harmless running joke for a while now, and of course I was playing into it earlier with my post about the breast pump and the wine industry.

The funny thing is, flysack probably knows me the least on this board and about a year and a half ago, he PMed me asking me to put him on ignore rather than "act like a cheerleader" every time someone made a crack at his expense. So I have. I have all of his aliai on ignore and it works for the most part, but when fires of 5 posts in a row from time to time, he is bound to get quoted.

So, flysack, please do me the honor of putting ME on ignore so that you're not tempted to creepily weigh in on my breasts or the decisions I'm making on behalf of my child. TIA.

(sorry, krista, I know you're a flysack fan )
:rolleyes:

No problem. Never used the ignore function before. I'll figure it out. Or find someone who had LHUCKS issues to teach me.
I'm assuming you were going for the goodposting icon and misclicked on the roll eyes. Only explanation that doesn't make you look like a total dickmitten.

Yea, sorry pal, I wasn't being creepy at all. I was just suggesting stuff from what I heard from my wife and her friends (a bunch of whom got pregnant around the same time). I don't even know what YSR looks like.

Try commenting on stuff you know about, like picking up girls ten years younger than you, crappy bands no one cares about, and trendy d-bag fashion.

 
Shuke - was going to suggest the acupuncture thing as well. We haven't personally done it, but have heard that it works for various thing
It does work for some people, but it's all placebo effect. No scientific evidence.
I thought acupuncture was the only one of the pseudo sciences (chiropractic, energy, etc) that actually showed some evidence of working.
I thought MT posted a pretty damning study a while back. I'll have to look for it.

 
Shuke, just wanted to add my 2 cents on your wife's recovery. I suffered from some serious stress-related migraines back when I was The Next William Faulkner in grad school. There were many a night spent in the bathtub in complete darkness, trying to keep the noise & light out of my head. It was hellish. I can't imagine suffering that without knowing the cause.

I'm no expert and have done zero research.

I've had a deep tissue massage combined with structural integration (which is movement, stretching, and pressure points) and that had my legs and shoulders refreshed like never before.

 
Also, at the wedding reception last night, the doctor (who also missed the memo on the whole luau thing) asked me if I was still will working. WTF is that supposed to mean? I'm seriously shuked by this or if he thinks K4 finally took up my offer to adopt me.

Also banked $220 at the boat despite my efforts to give it all back and then some.

A simple "sorry, I was overstepping my bounds" would suffice guy.

Are you wearing your newsboy hat inside that glass house? And speaking of d-bag, please go take another picture where you pretend to not know where the camera is.

 
My wife breastfeeds. She drinks. She pumps and dumps (not to be confused from gripped and ripped).

Millions of people formula feed and their children turn out fine. It's not a bad thing. But breastfeeding is ####### great (especially since daddy gets to sleep during nighttime feedings)

Breastfeeding is probably the best thing you can do for your kid. Breastfeeding saves you about $2500 in one year. A baby's immune system will not fully mature over the course of a few years. With breastfeeding it will develop more quickly and the kid is more protected by the antibodies from the breastmilk.

Studies have shown that breast milk can help prevent SIDS, ear infections, respiratory infections, allergies, colds, viruses, staff, strep, e coli, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, pneumonia, UTIs, salmonella, chrohns, colitis, some lymphoma and breast/ovarian cancer. And thats just what I remember from the talks we had

Charles has had a cold in 10 months. :knockonwood:

:fistbump: for Eeesr

Congrats on your wife's ability to store enough milk to keep junior fed while dumping all the milk that could be contaminated by alcohol.

:shrug:

Our doctor said it was stupid (his word) to bother. My wife didn't drink. None of her friends did either. Did you see the part where they wouldn't even give her antibiotics?

Everyone knows breast feeding is the best thing for an infant, even without reading a Wikipedia entry.

Again. :shrug:

 
Sorry I've been away all weekend so I'm way late to the discussion :shrug:

I hope Drinky McDrinkerson can hold back on the wine for a few days before lil Romo can build up a tolerance.

 
Can't believe I wasted 15 hours of my life watching Mad Men when I could have watched 30 episodes of It's Always Sunny instead.
