Today I’m going to try power pumping: https://web.archive.org/web/20090427220918/http://www.mobimotherhood.org/MM/article-lms.aspx#pumping 10 minutes pumping, 10 minutes off, repeat.
[Things I would tell myself if I could go back in time: the negative mental health aspects of this definitely outweigh any potential positives from increased milk production.]

(This was something our lactation consultant recommended and it seems to make sense.)

I’m done with power pumping for the day. After 10 min on 10 min off for 8 hrs I’m relieved to be back to only 1 pumping every 2 hrs.

Calvin started waking up around 5 today and insisted it was time to get up at 6. @calvinsdad got up and has now gone back to bed.

We had 2 woodpeckers (?) assaulting the side of our house.

I could use my new kitchen computer now.

Just got from the grocery store and did a whirlwind of feeding Calvin and putting him to sleep.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2010 12:13 PM
Now going to try to go thrift store shopping while Calvin is napping and @calvinsdad is watching him.

Just came back from getting ice cream and going to a new park.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2010 5:18 PM
This park was more of a “big kids” park and had many more exciting slides and higher swings than ours.

From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting this morning and gluing yarn on paper.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2011 6:51 PM
@calvinsdad in casual conversation, “I want to have my cake and eat it too.” Calvin, “CAKE! CAKE!”

For supper we had: baked potato, soy chicken nuggets, and broccoli smothered in cheese sauce. Not the most nutritional meal ever.

5 is acting even odder than usual.

My hunt for Easter Eggs was not terribly successful. Apparently I shouldn’t have waited till Friday to buy lg plastic eggs.

Julian’s first word appears to be “hi”.

The problem with non-candy Easter egg fillers is I don’t want random small things scattered across the house.

I have many, many persimmons in our freezer. It just occurred to me that I might be able to use King Arthur Flour’s Banana-Oat Pancakes and substitute persimmon pulp for the bananas.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2020 8:45 AM
This could be particularly fortuitous as the recipe only uses oat flour. I have pretty much _every_ flour left except for all-purpose.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2020 8:49 AM
(I expect to be able to get all-purpose flour tomorrow during my weekly grocery shopping. At least, last week they had it in stock. I just didn’t want to make a special trip for it.)

I’m getting better at face masks but there’s still room for improvement.

Well, now that I have most of the books packed, I have to figure out where to store them. This is my current solution for some of them. These are good solid bookcases so hopefully they can take the weight . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Apr 18, 2021 1:15 PM
I will not try this on my $30, 10+ year-old, bookcases.
