Nora crosses her feet all the time. I mean, seriously, every time she is sitting her legs are crossed. It's hilarious.
Everyone says your mind goes when you deliver a baby and I so totally agree. The other night Kevin finally said, would you please go to bed before anything else happens. I had a string of crazy things happen, I burned my hand while cooking, was bringing cokes in from the car and the box broke so I'm getting sprayed in the eye by a coke can that busted, I was lying on the bed watching tv and dropped the remote right on my cheek bone (yes, bruised), lots of other stuff happened that day that I tried to repress.
Well, working at a junior high (it's actually a 7-12th grade school) you have certain days you can dress up for homecoming. You guys remember, twin day, pajama day, etc. Well, today was pajama day so after work I picked Nora up and headed to the vitamin shop. I continue to go in the store (in my pajamas) and ask the guy if they have a certain herb. I just casually asked for what I needed and said, "it's supposed to stimulate your milk while breastfeeding". Clearly I made the man uncomfortable and he fumbles around then finally shows me on the computer that this herb wasn't what I thought it was. Apparantly it's for heart trouble? So whoever wrote on your website that Fenugreek stimulated milk I'd like to thank you for my wasted trip to the vitamin shop. So I leave (mind you, it's pouring rain so not only am I in my pj's, I am wet) go out to the car and put Nora in her seat. Start to get the keys. Can't find my keys. I know I have my keys because I wouldn't have been able to unlock the door. I turned my car upside down looking for the keys. After about ten minutes looking I finally found them under the seat in the back. Wayyy under the seat. How that happened I have no idea. This also happened the other day when I bought a jogging stroller, I put it in the car and somehow my keys caught on the basket of the stroller. Spent a good 10 minutes loooking for those. Gosh. Come back, brain.

I lose my keys ALL the time. One time, they somehow got caught up in a dress that I had altered and I was in Fort Worth and actually never found them. I had to have some made just to get home and my mom found them a couple of months later. Another time, I found my extra set in the bushes...have NO idea how they got there....another time, we didn't find a set until we moved and they had been stuck in our couch for over 2 years...Oh my gosh! The memories just keep coming about key loss!
I just want you to know that I did NOT laugh about the coke spraying you in the eye. :)
I took fenugreek and some other herb and it seemed to help. Try "Mother's Milk" tea.
Each baby you have seems to make you even more forgetful! We are WOMAN and learn to adapt!
Fenugreek is supposed to help milk supply. It also helps with other stuff. I had the same question. Blessed Thistle is also suppose to help. Whole Foods carries both if you have one. Mother's milk tea gets mixed reviews....some swear by it, others say it doesn't do anything (by "others" I mean the various lactation consultants and child birth instructors I talked to). Hope that helps.
Man, I'm gonna be on the lookout for a key ring beeper or something for you....that stinks!
Can't wait to see you THIS weekend!!
Love you!
Here's another vote for Mother's Milk tea... And my doctor actually prescribed Fenugreek (and she went to Harvard, so it must be true?).
I think the brain begins to repair itself around month 8. So hang in there. Not that I'll stop using childbirth as an excuse for anything at anytime.
It's amazing that you can take care of yourself and a baby or two with so many missing brain cells. Can't help you on the milk thing but I always keep my key ring in my mouth when I'm loading my kids. Seriously.
I love Nora crossing her legs!
Have you been playing your guitar much lately? Maybe that will help with brain stimulation :)!
I usually put my keys in my pocket as I load the kids. I like the mouth trick as well, but the sanitary factor concerns me a bit (I'm surprised it doesn't bother you, Yolanda).
I love that you were asking some poor guy about breast milk stimulation in your pajamas.
Are you kidding? Nasty germy Yolanda doesn't even cover the shopping cart when she shops. She lets her kids touch all over where other kids have touched before and put their hands in their mouth.
Not all of us have shopping cart covers...:)
Angie-
I was just going about my day...had the thought that Jaime was going to be in the big M this weekend adn then thought...How exciting I bet she and angie get together. Just the thought of you two together brought a smile to my face.
I love Nora crossing her legs...what a little lady.
I always put my keys in my back pocket. My brother tells me I look like a janitor. I do sympathize with the forgetful part...the manager of our Superwalmart knows me by name...Why? Becasue I have left my wallet there a total of 5 times since we had kids. He has our home # and Tony's work #. When Tony asks me how this is possible...I keep reminding him how great it is that too date...I have never left one of our boys somewhere...I do have priorities...
Love you-

They say that you lose 25% of your brain cells with each child. That means that all those women with 4 kids are essentially brainless. About the keys. I saw a woman the other day with one of those coily stretchy things with her key attached to it. She had it around her upper arm while she dealt with her kids. I need to get me one of those.
