OK...We were talking about this in chat and I didnt see anyone post about it..hehe. Anyway, the lactation consultant from the hospital just called me about breastfeeding. I tried to breastfeed Vincent, and he couldn't latch on. The nurse told me he is "tongue tied", which means his tongue is attached too much underneath. The dr. said it usualy stretches, they don't like ot snip it anymore due to complications. I tried to nurse him several times, and it just didn't work and the lactation consultant said he won't be able to nurse because he can't stick his tongue out. Tehn the lactation consultant kept coming in my room in the hospital and was telling me how expensive formula is and breastmilk is the best and I need to give him breastmilk. I just did what I felt right, and gave Vincent formula and hes very content and happy with it.
I was FINE with this, even though I felt some guilt not being able to give my baby breastmilk, he did wonderful on formula and tolerates it soo well. I had a hard time nursing Dom due to his size and it turned out to be a disaster, both for Dom and I. ANYWAY, the lactation consultant just calls me and asks if im breastfeeding! IM like what the heck?? I wasn't even thinking about it and she calls and asks if I'm pumping, etc..and if he has gotten any breastmilk, and I said no. Ok, I just wanted to tell her to BITE ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE! ;-)

To the nurse at the clinic, who doesn't think I need a flu shot (I've had surgery 2x, but I am not on any medications - this makes me 100% healthy?) BITE ME!!
To the clowns at U.S. Cellular, who somehow got our address from our old house (from 2 yrs. ago), even tho all of our paperwork shows our current address. They made us pay right away, over the phone, because our bill was 8 days past due! DUH! We never got a bill - they wouldn't send us a new one, just pay over the phone. I don't WANT to pay over the phone, BITE ME!!
