Today I am mourning the loss of liquid gold. Let me explain.
There's this doctor. He's trying to figure out why my one eyelid looks like this:
To do that, the doctor ordered a CT Scan. I had that scan this morning. What he failed to tell me was that I couldn't breastfeed for 48 hours after the scan.
Fine, right? Maybe he didn't know I was breastfeeding, right? Except that while I was sitting in the chair right in front of him, having my eyes checked etc....I WAS BREASTFEEDING OWEN!
Still shouldn't be THAT big of a deal you say? Owen has only ever CHOKED back on two ounce bottle and now he was going to have to go to straight bottles.
Luckily enough I had a minimal freezer stash of pumped breast milk I could give him. We are QUICKLY running through that.
Here comes the "Liquid Gold". While Owen is being given bottles I need to keep pumping in order to keep my supply up. I then have to pour this super valuable (aka Liquid Gold) down the drain.
But, I decided to make lemonade out of this lemon and partake of a few missed beverages! :)
Did you already have the scan? If not, why are you pumping and dumping already? Hope everything turns out ok for you!
ReplyDeleteErika, I had the scan this morning. Thanks!
