-I spent approximately 90% of my waking time at Arisia pumping milk or tending pumping and feeding equipment.
+I had some most excellent adventures nonetheless.

I think in retrospect I should have ignored the five part of the 5-2-1 rule. I only allowed myself to become moderately sleep deprived, and it would have been better if I had tried to manage on just a couple of hours of sleep and used Monday (which Chip has off from work) as a sleeping day. Hopefully by next year Benjamin's digestion will have improved to the point where I can get down to just pumping milk two or three times a day, but, if not, I think this is what I shall attempt next time.

I'm still up for visits if you are... e-mail me?

Wishing you a night of deep deep sleep.

Maybe the 5-2-1 rule shouldn't apply to parents of infants/toddlers. ;-)

I'm glad you had fun anyway. It was nice to see so much of Chip and Benjamin, but it would have been nice to see you, too! Did Chip deliver the challah?

What's the 5-2-1 rule?

[coraline]

5 hours of sleep, 2 real meals and 1 shower per 24 hour period.

The challah was yummy. Thank you! :-)

It would have been nice to see you too. (And I have some more baby clothes for Joshua. I also have a whole bunch of jars of baby food I can give you. I have a lot of sweet potato and even more banana. Benjamin is pretty much only eating those in table food form now, so I want to pass the unused jars on.)

And baby toys that Benjamin has outgrown too, although I will want all those back when/if I start my home childcare.

I think another problem was that I pretty much ignored the 2 part of this as well. That is not a good idea for anyone, and a particularly bad idea for someone trying to produce insane amounts of milk.

And I am still sad I didn't manage to make it to dinner. I would really love to have dinner with you some other time.

Very cool. I'll be in Worcester tomorrow night, but hopefully I'll be at OPN next week.

yeah, that definitely sounds like a Bad Plan :}

and yes, dinner! we live so close there's really no excuse not to...
