Going to the doctor today..

Yes, for myself. Amazing as that may seem. I'm actually going to go get my post-partum checkup. Of course, my motives aren't just to get checked up... I'm having issues. My back is sore and stiff at the epidural sight. At more than a month later, I think this is worth mentioning. Because my son hasn't set himself to a schedule yet, I'm having a very difficult time setting a pumping schedule for myself. To put it bluntly, my milk ducts are getting confused and I have a feeling that in a few more days, they may go on strike in protest. Junior's tummy doesn't like formula very much, so that makes this just that much more important. So, that is worth mentioning, too. I know there are a few medications out there that can help get my supply back on track. Hopefully, Dr. K can help me with that. I've tried everything else, with some improvement. I'm just not satisfied with the improvement I've seen, and I seem to be back-tracking again. It is my hope that Junior may be able to breastfeed after his first surgery. So, I have a month and a half of pumping to go. Either way, he needs the breastmilk. The medical studies support the fact that it is indeed healthier for both mom and baby.

So, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to the doc's I go.
