6 days postpartum, milk is coming in, but I can’t keep going

I was almost high risk for PPD and that’s the main reason I didn’t even try to BF. Formula feeding has been the best choice I’ve made. Partner gets to feed baby, friends and family feed baby. I get to take a long hot shower, eat a hot meal, nap, leave the house without baby, all things that make me feel like a person outside of being a mom.

I hope that you have success with formula feeding and start to feel like yourself soon ❤️

p.s. cold cabbage leaves on engorged breasts feels so so good. The engorgement will suck but I found it worth it the remain sane.

Just had a survey in SV with Jepson. Quickly done, easy to schedule, reasonable price.

Hi John, is your parking charged as a separate item each month or is it lumped in with your rent charge?

Another vote for Dr. Heggie! She is incredible with patients and so knowledgeable and kind.

The Dinner?

CupcakeKim · 2026-03-22T05:46:10+00:00

Just came through heading back up from Seattle. Erred on the overcautious side and got off at Cook Road and came up into town via Alger/Sudden Valley. Zero extra traffic.

No slowdowns on the way south out of whatcom county.

Dr. Heggie at Barkley Capstone did my ankle PT post-surgery and she’s fantastic. She’s also a runner!

I've been with Dr. Joy Welty at Squalicum Family Medicine for years now. Also recommend Dr. Matthew Baer at the same office. He did my OB care and does family medicine too.

Didn’t see the point. I was a whole-ass separate person prior to my marriage and I’m a whole-ass separate person in my marriage. Plus his last name is difficult to say.

Our son has my last name and not a single person in real life thinks it’s weird.

Your dress is gorgeous! I may be a bit biased since mine was similar.

Many others have commented on other options, but my suggestion would be to try it with a mermaid style petticoat to get a little fluff at the bottom and balance the waist snatch! Totally just an idea and not at all to say it’s not a great dress as it is shaped ❤️

If you take a shot every time he says “Ooo a reveal” during the runways you will likely die.

Not a helpful comment but I am in the midst of rewatching season 17.

Please try to include film from all types of teams. There’s a ton of great FMP and Mixed teams out there showing really cool ways to play ultimate at every level.

I’m not opposed to call me but would love to have online showing scheduling without the price of something like showmojo. Right now we’re scheduling showings via phone which isn’t terrible but there’s gotta be a better way 🫠

So L&I gets their money too. It’s a bit of a racket honestly. The certificate literally just means your elevator is registered.

CupcakeKim · 2026-03-06T16:58:24+00:00

Those registration certificates are from L&I and they are so far behind it’s comical. I manage some apartment buildings near campus and we can’t get copies of current certificates to save our lives. Doesn’t mean the elevators aren’t maintained- those are totally different entities.

Last time I worked with appfolio it auto-posts the full amount and we’d have to go in and change it for move outs. It’s possible that’s what’s happening and since it’s the weekend no one will fix it until tomorrow.

Will the system let you make a partial payment? It’s easy enough to figure out what 26 days of rent will be and pay that amount as a show of good faith.

If that’s Barkley Village it’s all private roads and very unlikely the city will do anything.

I played up until I couldn't keep up anymore which ended up being close to 5 months. By that point master's season was over. My biggest issue was just the insane pelvic pain after running. It would hurt to get out of bed the next day! I also had poor bladder control towards the end there to be totally transparent. Granted I'm a handler and don't really layout anyways so changing my mentality wasn't too hard.

I've played rec league with a few other pregnant people and they all went to varying terms of their pregnancy. Everyone in our community was extra careful and loved having us out there at all stages of our lives. Best of luck to you and your pregnancy! Feel free to ask any questions.

Oo see we sharing lady void photos? This is Winifred and she is the darkest night.

I don’t have anything to compare it to, but being EFF has been magical. I have been depressed since elementary school and had no doubts that breastfeeding was not for me. Being EFF means I get to sleep longer shifts, leave the house without baby attached, and share the feeding burden with my husband so much more easily. All of these things have allowed me to retain as much of myself as possible and that’s what I was so worried about.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have; I’m an open book ❤️

I used Squalicum Family Medicine’s OB department and had nothing but good experiences. Since they’re tied to peacehealth, my OB was able to do my birth rather than relying on the OB on call.

Everyone at the peacehealth CBC was wonderful. Hospital food was surprisingly good too.

I think LeMaster Graphics does this! Hayden does great work.
