- 7.5 - the number of hours I'm tutoring this week. perhaps why I'm feeling so number-y.
- 127 - the number of pages I have to read before book club on thursday... middle of the night pumping sessions = reading
- 2.5 - the number of hours I spend purely pumping per day.
- 4+ - the number of hours I spend doing pump-related things per day - getting set up, finding bottles, handwashing or loading bottles in the dishwasher... this is over 15% of my life right now, about 1/3 of my awake time...
- 10 - the number of days I've been exclusively pumping and recording how much milk I get in an effort to increase my supply
- 24.75 - the minimum amount of oz I've pumped in the last 10 days (on day 2)
- 29 - the max oz (days 5 and 8)
- 50ish - the number of oz I would need to exclusively feed the babies breastmilk. a long way to go...
- 0.425 - the slope of the linear best fit line of my pumping output. wait, what? translation: I'm increasing my pumping output by almost half an ounce per day.
- $99.25 - the amount I spent at the EMOMs consigment sale last Saturday.
- $2 - the amount I almost stole from EMOMs (accidentally - I was caught by the door-checkers and went back and paid - it was for a set of thing-1 thing-2 stuffed dolls to accompany their halloween outfits of dressing as thing one and thing two - thank you evan and alyssa)
- $25 - the most expensive item I bought at the sale - a bumbo seat - ethan enjoys it, but kaylee's not ready for it yet. mimi - if they have them in NZ riley might like it a lot if she's trying to sit up
- $5 - the second most expensive item I bought at the sale - a santa suit for ethan!
- 49 - the number of outfits I bought at the sale - all btwn 25 cents and $2 each. I also got a baby monitor ($3 - we didn't have one yet and for $3 I thought we'd see if we liked having one!), bottle drying rack ($1.50), and 6 more dr browns bottles ($2 or $3 I forget).
- 3 - number of days until the babies get to meet two of their great-grandmas!
- 4 - the number of nights blake is babysitting after work this week (I'm going to tutor, tutor, tutor, book club)
- a zillion - things I should be doing instead of blogging before nana gets here. oh look, nana's here.
- 2 - number of baby shout-outs:
- 1 - number of babies born this week - welcome halcyone marie!
- 1 - number of babies turning 1 today - happy birthday madeleine!

WOW! I noticed you didn't post how many diapers you have gone through since birth. I'm sure that's the scariest number of all :)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing awesome! I can't even imagine the amount of pumping required for two babies... (and I have done a lot of pumping). I'm sure you are getting plenty of help from lactation consultants... but I found fenugreek to be helpful in increasing supply, and amusing- because then I smelled like syrup... my friend called me Mrs. Butterworth...
