Boob vs Bottle

TEACHBROECK On 8:04 AM















*** In no way am I trying to start a debate, pick a side and certainly NEVER want to offend anyone.


These are just my thoughts.



I did not breast feed K.


I will not breastfeed H.



I feel breast is the BEST!


I also feel:

Formula has come a long way.

K never had one ear infection. (some people say the bottle does that)


Most importantly my boobs...yha their mine and I have been Highly sensitive about them since Jr high when I slapped a boy in dance class for saying they were big.


I would rather have an examination "downtown" than a breast exam.

I freak out when they get touched or brushed up on (by babies or accidents not MEN!)

Jdog knows there is a time and there is NOT a time to be anywhere near them.


I have had many friends they have wanted to breastfeed and have told me about the BLEEDING , crying, frustration..


I TRULY believe that my stress and anxiety would affect H. He will sense it and not feed well. I have heard stories about bonding. I believe it! But I bonded with K over the bottle as well. My friend who just had her baby said she does not feel like she is bonding when she breasts feed but she still does it.


Believe me if I wanted to even a little....for the mere fact of the price of FORMULA!!!


Anyway those are my thoughts...thank god we can all make our own choices and not feel shamed!

Happy Birthday

TEACHBROECK On 10:22 AM

Jdog turned 26 on Saturday.
His gifts were:
-drinking all day
-chewing tobacco the whole day
-dancing like a crazy man
-telling me the bar tender kept getting confused between beer and Captain and Cokes
-talking TOO long to afemale "friend" I have never met in the 5 years we have been together
-changing out of his tux in the ballroom
-returning to dance floor in his fleece pants when it WAS TIME TO GO!
- eating my ENTIRE plate of food as well as your own
-smoking stinky cigars

These were his gifts...because all day I just smiled and went along with it. Okay I did pinch him when the drunk floozy was talking him too long.

It was a quite the wedding ...I was up until 11 Friday with "last minute" things (that could have been done months before". Then got sick and only slept 2:3o am to 5:30am. Had to pick the bride up and all the girls at 6:45 and then "PROBLEM solved" the rest of the day as well. By 11 I was tired, sore and ready for bed.
*only 2 people got arrested not bad for a good ole Wisconsin wedding!
*Why is my HEAD so huge in that picture...have I actually gained weight every place else that my HEAD is not gaining?
* I feel like SHIT today...cramping, nauseous, back pain... BABY YOU BETTER STAY PUT!

Anyway I love you Jdog.....this year will be an exciting one....so glad I am spending it with you.

Withdrawl

TEACHBROECK On 8:31 AM

I AM BACK!!!




I think I missed myself! Our computers at work had a mandatory FILTER put on and I was cockblocked from all bloggging and my facebook....IMAGINE the papers I got corrected! It took 2 emails, 1 phone call and a bribe of cookies to get the TI to help me get back to my addiciton.








Hope all is well I can't wait to spend my lunch catching up on your blogs!

One website I could get to was the library loan page so I have these books on the way!!!
Smangie said this one was great...and I saw it a few times on the GREATREADS site

I LOVED Gods In Alabama

I loved GOOD IN BED!

To Smangie:


Boylen Sister comes out the end of FEB!!! WHOHOOHOO

We had a great weekend...J worked half his day Sunday and had off yesterday it was SOO SOO nice...we watched movies Sunday after we had lunch with his G'ma who will be gone for 2 months in Texas...

Monday we bought a washer/dryer/dish washer....by the time we walked out of Sears I wanted to return the $600 dish washer....I could get the camcorder, rocking chair and bathroom floor for that money!!! And hell I can wash bottles by hand....I was so embarrassed to go back that I hid in the truck and J returned it....after we ate lunch...I love him....

At lunch on Sunday I learned J's G'ma and step gma/gpa were going to start watching B for Free....I had an angry Nelly Olsen heart for awhile because we will be putting out 500 dollars a month! But then on the way home I passed a church sign that said
Life is not always fair but God is always FAITHFUL!
I really took it to heart and felt better by the time I drove home...I don't want to have the g'parents babysit anyway...I want our baby engaged and doing projects and with other kids...It is too much to ask elderly gparents anyway to chase kids around... (ps to those of you that have your parents watch your kids...I AM NOT against that! And it is the GREAT- grandparents who really aren't up to 8 hours a day with a toddler)

MEANWHILE: SAT I was upset about our tax refund....it was 200 something...the tax lady said not claiming K really HURT US...EXCUSE me don't use my kid for a reason not to get money it was her dad's turn this year fair and square....well we came to terms that the refund wasn't much and were THANKFUL we didn't need to pay in WELL when we signed them .....the STATE was only 250 Federal was over 1000!!!!! GOD PROVIDES!!! Now we can pay our heat bill, Menards and have some left over to get the nice stroller/car seat we need!!!

PLUS!! The May rebate we get is the only way J could get off 2 weeks when the baby comes..he has no sick time or holiday and 2 weeks is a huge chunk of our expenses...

I am just so thankful we will be okay....
FAITH is my motto for a little while...I don't need to worry so much God is taking care of it.


So there you are all caught up!!! ANd for your patience with my laziness to post anything ORIGNAL! I have a TUMMY TUESDAY PICTURE!


30 weeks!

NO this is not an eclispe...it is my bird's eye view...the feet ARE GONE!

Seriously they could feed mother earth.

Normally I am not a chocolate fan...I KNOW I KNOW not normal for a woman! But with TOT I seem to eat whatever is around and right now that would be JUNK! Our V-day was uneventful borderline crabby. J had the day off but was too "lazy" to come take me (his pregnant wife of only 1 year) to lunch. I was a little hurt...but this is the guy who pumps my gas, picks me and Kdog up our favorite magazines when he runs to the gas station, does the dishes and mops floors etc…. I guess I would rather have a thoughtful husband MOST the time than 70 dollars of roses sitting on my desk. After school we were all a bit crabby...(why the hell did I tell K she could grow out her bangs? We fight about it every day!) But we came around and went to McDonalds (we ate a fancy dinner last week and agreed not to get gifts to save $) and got movies. I think the pregnancy makes me ...INSECURE...I just kept thinking..we have only been married a YEAR + and although I didn't want to spend $ I wanted to feel romantic...well as romantic as you can with THIS GUY in your WOMB and your husband wtih mucus coming out of every orifice.

OKAY ENOUGH I KNOW!!! 2 of my favorite blogitches don't even have their hubbies home with them right now so I should be thankful....and and and

this baby.

this boy.

He is coming.


I still can't believe it.


And the moment they put him in my aching arms will be worth every petal and stem.

Package from my dad and his wife


A little sompthin sompthin for Nephew


Pot of Fat from Jdog. He also got her a musical card that play WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?!

I almost killed him.



Other trinkets she adored....

From my students



Wish me luck on using the Warming KY Jelly I got J dog tonight...

Happy Freaking Friday...K andI are going to hear TOT's heartbeat and I have the good ole diabetes test.

28 and 1/2 weeks
28 and 1/2 weeks,
originally uploaded by teachbroeck.
Today is actually my 29th week, but I am wearing the same outfit I wore Sat...YES I WASHED IT! I am feeling lots of anxiety. Hope that is normal...bills, Kdog's adjustment, stillbirth, how I will ever wear normal clothes again....I am not saying any of this is justified but my mind whirls with a combination of these things...
I feel lucky that I sleep pretty good yet, walk great...8-10 more weeks.

Oh and we have a name!

I keep this blog pretty Uncontroversial. I love every race, religion and respect those I don't understand. I barely understand politics; in fact they drive me crazy. BUT THIS. THIS I GET.

Boring

TEACHBROECK On 5:51 AM

We have been busy....but not with anything fun to report or blog about.

Work stuff, baby stuff, sibling class, tax appointments, more snow days.

Everyone is feeling much better than last week!

I have a bachlorette party this weekend and I was going to wiggle out of going on "THE BUS" but there are 4 other preggers going so I would look like a schmuck. WHY WHY would they want to ride on a bus and go to bars.....when we could be home in bed eating? *sigh* I guess I am just a party pooper.
