Well, for my one (or two) loyal readers, I have some news...blogspot does not allow, or as they put it, does not have the function for blog deletion. The alternative is to go through every blog and delete it individually and then delete my personal information. I have no time to write a blog, let alone delete each one, one at a time! So, I'll just try to write during my spare time and see where it takes me. I hate to have things floating around in Internet land, but so be it!
Speaking of spare time, I am still pumping at work! I have made it five months now (Dylan is a bit over 8 months) and let me tell you, it is not the pinacle of motherhood. I HATE pumping at work. I have to walk across campus to the lactation room (I do have my own office, but I am paranoid of someone peaking in) three times a day. I have to attach myself to a machine and try to relax when all I can think about it the press release I have to write, the marketing proposal I have to finish, the ad deadline that is a day away, the virtual tour that's never going to get done...etc., etc. Over the past couple of months, I've pumped less and less and so Dylan has to get a bottle of formula once a day. It was that or be a slave to my pump at home as well. I decided my freedom from those sucking horns was more important than Dylan getting three full bottles of breast milk each day.
I have tried to not give myself a hard time about the formula bit, but it's difficult not to have "formula guilt." I'm already working away from home, meaning Dylan is left with a care provider. Then, on top of it, my body has failed to produce what he needs, which makes me feel even more like a terrible mother. Now, I find out today that there's some terrible chemical that's used to strip paint off cars and manufacture metal that's been found in a sample of U.S. formula. Great.
Send me to bad mom jail.
Can't anyone make clean baby products anymore? We have toys painted with lead, bottles made with toxic chemicals, cribs that collapse, blankets that suffocate, and now baby formula tainted with other bad stuff.
It's a full time job keeping up with all these recalls! What's next? I shuddder to think of what else I now have to worry about.
