Its virtual friday! Woot!

[ianuk]

Well, work has been busy. My cold has settled to not really being a cold just pregnancy snuffles and I've been having a bit of odd with the GI track that isn't my normal but that could just be weird stuff eaten over the last week. We shall see. Its nothing serious just odd.

Got a huge packet of stuff from the human resources folks with 4 books, a baby hat (OMG CUTE! I squeed!), a cooler for bottles and lots of check lists etc. I've also gotten my subsidy for a breast pump. Anybody out there ever use a PJ Comfort from Limerick Corp? (I have visions of leprechauns making breast pumps that make me giggle). I'd like opinions before I get it.

Mel and I talked house stuff and we will be heading to Tuff Shed on Friday to price out the new workshop. Its gonna be nice I think and lots of natural light. The one thing I know that will have to happen shortly is to get the truck up and running and get tires and brakes on it so we can move it around. Does anyone have a yard cleanup crew they like? Weeds need to be take care of. Lots to think about all of us and the baby. Lol. But that is okay its kinda fun.

I'm almost done with the 2nd edelweiss flower and will be working my butt off to finish them all by monday. I have a pretty free weekend minus a few shopping trips (I need maternity t-shirts) and the Unique Boutique Craft Fair at Gridley Middle School on Saturday/Sunday. I'm going Saturday. Its lots of fun and one of my neighbors and one of my old coworkers also has a shop there. Plus I know we have some dverning and weavedancer time scheduled for Sunday. So nice crafty weekend.

Don't know of any weed remover peoples (this is my brain right now), but just wanted to say that we're in the same boat as you for the back yard. In fact, that's what we're doing this weekend. Deweeding and hopefully getting some plants back there for the paaaaaartaaaay!

I don't really know much about the PJ Comfort breast pump. I did look up their website and it looks like you can get the most expensive one from there for a $300 discount right now. The executive PJ comfort with all the accessories and the travel ba for $495. Here is a link in case you have not seen it http://www.limerickinc.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=2 . I used a Medela Pump in style advanced Metro. I really liked it since it worked like a hospital grade pump for half the cost. You can buy the medela's at most hospital's women's centers. I purchased mine for $225 at UMC with all the accessories. It sells for $339.00 at babiesRus. Medela is also nice since you can buy all the additional accessories at stores like target although I generally bought them at the hospitals cause it was cheaper. Usually half the price of what retail stores were selling the items for. I'd be happy to show you mine sometime if you want to check it out before you buy one just let me know.

Actually, since I'm an employee its only $120 for the kit. which is pretty good I'll probably get the travel option to go with it since that might be in the books for next summer.

That is a pretty awesome price. I would probably go with that option had I been given it. At the U we received a $25 coupon toward the purchase or rental price of the breast pump at UMC. So with my discount I think I paid $200. Your deal sounds better than the one I got. I would certainly try to the PJ Comfort for that price. From what I read it sounds like a good pump and it got an iparent award in 2007 which is awesome.

Sweet. Ari thought it looked really good from the stuff I printed out last week. So I'm glad you think it would do us good. I'll probably get it on order here in a few weeks.
