I just love the Pacific North West! Here are a few shots looking along the Columbia River Gorge - from exactly a year ago! Although it was a little cloudy when we were entering the gorge by the time we got to Hood River it was the sunniest day. I wish I could have gotten more photos down in the gorge, because it was so beautiful.<br />

It is so much older and has so much more history than I can relate to. I love it. How prefect are the details on these old buildings!<br />

When work is busy, baby is hungry, emails are unanswered, to do lists rage on, the house is a mess - well, you get the picture.<br />
My new goal, is trying to fit in some little things each week as a little treat for myself.<br />

This weeks treat - an organic body scrub from <a href="http://www.myscrub.com.au/">My Scrub</a>. </div>

<a href="http://www.myscrub.com.au/">My Scrub</a>,
is a small company that started purely because they tried a coffee
scrub, and liked it, but didn't love it. So they made one themselves,
and focused on a natural product that can be tailored to different skin
types. All natural and vegan ingredients, which I am all about for my
skin. I really get freaked out when you look at body products that have a
gazillion products in them.<br />
<br />
And you know how I am
with companies, I think it is so important to follow and support those
who do good for others. A portion of profits from scrubs sold <a href="http://www.myscrub.com.au/pages/about-us">goes to Beyond Blue</a>,
which is such a worthwhile charity here in Australia. As someone who
has dealt with depression in the past, I think it is rad that My Scrub
is helping out with their cause.</div>

During pregnancy my skin was so
nice, it glowed and needed very little maintenance. Since Soph was born
though, I really feel like the fatigue from being a Mum has taken its
toll on my skin. It is so dry and lifeless. It doesn't really help that
in Winter I am covered up in stockings and cardigans, so my skin hardly
seems like a priority. I don't know if any other Mums got epically dry
skin while breastfeeding, but mine dried up like crazy! <br />
<br />
I was super excited to find these scrubs and see if I could make a difference with my skin. I decided to try the Orange Zing - I was tempted with <a href="http://www.myscrub.com.au/collections/all">ALL the varieties</a>, and was even tempted to make my own. But to be honest, I loved the sound of the peppermint and citrus for refreshing my skin. And I was not disappointed!<br />

<div>
Why do I love it?<br />
First of all. It's kind of a novelty and I was giggling as I did
it. Because well, who stands in the shower rubbing coffee on
themselves?!<br />
Second of all. <b>It. Smells. Amazing.</b> Like. Amazing. Zesty
and refreshing. I could smell the citrus all evening and then on the bus in the morning.<br />
Thirdly, a couple of days after using this, it was quite warm at work, so I peeled off the cardigan. Was suddenly like, ah, I haven't moisturised for ages. Looked down, and boom my skin was all happy looking, and not dry at all. That my friend is a good result. <br />
Finally, there is nothing like a good scrub.
Scrubbing of ze body. It feels amazing. And then using all the stuff in the bottom of the shower to scrub my feet.</div>

You can actually see how good my skin looked afterwards!

I feel so good. And I keep smelling my hands. I can actually just smell
orange around me. It's lovely! My skin feels epically recharged. And for

I don't know why, but for some reason, I never thought I would put Soph in a bear suit. But then Liz and I found one on sale one day. And there was a tail. And well, that was it.<br />
<br />
I give you. My baby in a bear suit. You are welcome.</div>

Here is what I had and actually NEEDED/LOVED for Soph when she was just a wee little poppet.<br />
Read <i>actually needed </i>because I had a room <b>full </b>of stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Bassinet</i> - I almost didn't get my Moses basket. I nearly let a few people talk me out of it. Thank goodness I got it! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. To start off with, its beautiful, and amazingly made (in New Zealand by <a href="http://www.babytrenz.co.nz/">Baby Trenz</a>). Not to mention that it was the handiest thing we had. We had it next to me while I was on the couch (or my human nest) and it got carried back and forward from our room to the lounge each day. Sophie had her day naps in it up until she turned 3 months, and she has just gone into her crib at night time, so well after 4 months. When she wigged out in the evenings, one of the ways we would calm her was by rocking her basket back and forward. The basket now sits in her Nursery with all her soft toys in it, and will be in use if we have another babe, and will be hers for when she has a kid. The New Zealand wool mattress is warm and soft and airs well. I truly love it. <br />

<br />
<br />
<i>Swaddles </i>- well, in truth we never burrito baby swaddled her because a - it was so bloody hot, and b - she got really annoyed being all tight and wrapped. But I did loosely wrap her in it, and the muslin was good with just a nappy when it was really warm. Plus we used them as a blanket in her bassinet. <br />
<br />
<i>Singlets/Tank tops</i> - I had none of these before she was born (bizarre since I had every other piece of clothing). These were great to get a little something on her without over heating her, and I know we know have heaps of them since the weather has cooled turn, so if babe is newborn in Summer or Winter they seem pretty essential.<br />
<br />
<i>Muslin washcloths</i> - they got used for everything from bath time, to cooling her down in the heat.<br />
<br />
<i>Blooming bath </i>- Sophie's first baths were in a plastic tub, and then she moved into a bigger plastic tub. Now she has baths and showers with us. The blooming bath served a couple of uses. Most importantly, it cushions her wee head against the edge of the tubs. The petals can be folded down to create a little seat to adjust the depth of the tub too. Also, well heck, it looks absolutely adorable too. I still use it against the end of the tub when she baths with me and she loves the bright color of the cushy petals. Oh, and importantly, I just drain it in the shower and throw it in the washing machine. Very durable and dries in the sun, or from a spin cycle.<br />

<br />
<i>All in ones </i>- like you know the pj/onesies that just button or zip right up. The easier the better. Cos those brand new little babes don't like having their nappies changed.<br />
<br />
<i>White noise machine </i>- A heartbeat one in her bassinet seemed to help with keeping her naps long.<br />
<br />
<i>Coconut oil</i> - We used this for cradle cap, dry skin, and eczema. But remember, don't oil up babe and carry her around. They are slippery suckers! <br />
<br />
<i>Feeding pillow </i>- My boppy was the BEST. I swear by it. For balancing her while she was feeding, for propping her up, for tummy time. And I still use it - 6 months later, for when she has her bottle, to help her learn to sit, and to prop her up on her belly. Bestest. I think my sister didn't have one for her first born, and then did for her second, and she said it made such a big difference.<br />

Everything was just so beautiful, and it was such a lovely time exploring and ticking off bucket list goals!<br />
<br />
I have wanted to see this waterfall ever since I saw it on the end shots of the Twilight film. Lame spot to first see it, I know.. But how gorgeous is it?! The sweeping falls, the mighty volcanic walls and the beautiful old bridge. Such a perfect combination of nature and structure.<br />

Here is my current mental to do list.<br />
<br />
<br />
Teach Sophie sign language<br />
Go to a Mummy and Me gym class<br />
Upcycle Sophie's old swaddles into cloth wipes<br />
Try making my own laundry detergent<br />
Make one of my old band t shirts into a romper for Sophie<br />
Sew Dom a soft ball with Koalas on it (still haven't got round to that Laurie lol)<br />
Fix the hems on about 5 dresses<br />
Sew buttons on about 9 tops<br />
Make a play date with about 6 different friends' babes<br />
Make and freeze my own baby purees<br />
Make my own soap<br />
Try coconut oil pulling<br />
Send a package to Steph with presents for all the kids<br />
Send Sophie's latest bundles of don't fits to Em<br />
Make my own deodorant<br />
Learn to crochet<br />
Do yoga<br />
Learn to needle felt<br />
Get back into learning French<br />
Sew some curtains<br />
Send 50 different bloody emails<br />
Reply to 17 messages<br />
Get photos printed<br />
Paint my nails<br />
Make some fruit sorbet in that Thermomix<br />
Take 10 minutes to meditate<br />
And the list goes on...<br />
<br />
Does anyone else sit and say, gah, I must remember to do that!<br />
Will I ever get round to any of them..?<br />
Well, I suppose, chances are, if I do, I will blog about it.

This is Sophie at 6 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny. She makes us laugh every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy going. We know if she cries there is something wrong, otherwise she is pretty chill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweet. She still likes to cuddle in to our shoulders and snuggle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loud. She bup-bup-bups and blows rasberries and shrieks and makes all kinds of noise. Its lovely actually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Curious. Has her nose in everything and turns to each new noise. Wants to grab everything, taste everything and know everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playful. Still likes to roll on the mat and play with her IKEA gym, but now she loves her walker play set way more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Willful. She prefers to hold her bottle, rather than us. She doesn't want to eat her purees but she wants to smash the bowl on the high chair tray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Teething. Poor little girl has red cheeks and swollen gums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A pro at skyping. She skypes her Grandparents a few times a week and chats away. It is so lovely that we can see her responding to them and learning their voices.</div>

Do you have clothes in your wardrobe with tags on them still?<br />
Do you have stuff you haven't worn since you got it?<br />
Do you literally not even remember when the last time you wore something was?<br />
<br />
I do.<br />
I do.<br />
I do.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I am trying to wear EVERYTHING on my dress rack, and see how long I can go without a repeat!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made it my first four weeks back at work... and with that I thought I would celebrate and join up with my lovely lady friend Kimba Likes for Wardrobe Wednesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been too long!</div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I did not believe this existed.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I admit it. I was a complete cow to my sister when she said
she had baby brain.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“There is no such thing”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I bet a man came up with that”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Whatever”</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A thousand apologies my beautiful sister.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">IT DOES EXIST.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I am sure it strikes the second your egg is fertilised.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I struggled so much at work during my pregnancy.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then I had Sophie and it went up another level.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now I am trying to adult and simultaneously be a
petrophysicist.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I can’t even keep the days straight haha.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<br>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here is life with me and my baby brain.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I literally never know what day it is. Unless its Monday.
Even I know Mondays. Today I messaged someone and said Happy Wednesday.
Apparently its Thursday.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I repeat the same questions to Rob again and again –</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Do you remember the time we went to the Alamo?”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">10 minutes later</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“hey meow, do you remember when we went to the Alamo?”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5 minutes later</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Do you remember the Alamo?"</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To get into my floor at work you need to swipe a security
badge (it has been that way since before I started which was 2009). Last week I
stood in front of the door waiting for it to open for 5 minutes before I
realised it was waiting on me.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have forgotten to tag off with my bus card several times.
Then panicked. Then tried to run after the bus.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Needed panty liners. Went into Priceline. Spent $94.
Realised later I forgot to get liners. And bought the wrong shade of
foundation.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Realised the foundation was the wrong colour after wearing
it for a few days and wondering why my face looked different.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I literally never manage to shut the fridge door.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">...although in fairness, <a href="http://www.ohthethingsithink.com/2013/10/i-drive-him-crazy.html">that isn't a new thing.</a> </span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lost approximately seven cups of tea. I don’t know where
they went.</span></div>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Started so many trains of thought and conversations and then
completely forgotten what I was…</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wait.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What was I saying?</span><br>
<br>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the coffee store I often stand there waiting for change
when I haven’t paid them. Or when I don’t need change. Or just because I am
unaware of other human beings around me.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And, it appears that in true baby brain nature, I forgot to hit publish on this post. Isn;t that lovely?</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br></span>

<div>
I do!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In April last year we drove to San Antonio for a long weekend. It was so lovely! We absolutely loved being there. It was a really different version of Texas. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We went during Fiesta and had a great time eating and drinking and exploring. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the must do things of course was visit the Alamo. I had no idea how interesting I would find it. What a crazy history. It was definitely worth the crowds. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The old stone walls around the outside are part of the original fortifications. And how amazing are the cactus? </div>
<div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are my tips for flying with a baby.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Give yourself a lot of time.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are chronic “early arrivers” at airports. But even with all the time we gave ourself, we ended up rushing. Things just come up with babies. For us, we were on time until we
hit a big cue at the petrol station on the way to the airport. And, then, as we
were packing our stuff on to a trolley and about to head to the airport bus,
Soph had a poo-splosion (her first ever – right out of her pants, into the baby
carrier and down my front). So we had an emergency nappy, and outfit change in
the car boot in the dark in the carpark.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Double check everything. </span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But not at 3 am. The night before we left I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited to
see my parents. So I decided to check our luggage allowance on the website.
Read it wrong. Got up and repacked the suitcase. Added more things. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then when we checked in the suitcase was 8 kilos over and we
had to be the people that go to the side and repack all their bags. Much to
Robs horror lol.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Checking baby stuff.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As far as I can see, most airlines give you an allowance for
certain baby items. You know, like a portacot, pram/stroller and maybe a car
seat. Check it out first. But yeah, from what I can see most normal (like, non-budget)
airlines give you an allowance to check 3 baby items. Keep in mind though, you
will probably need to lug them down to oversized luggage section. Another
reason you want to give yourself heaps of time.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Carrying.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wear that baby. If you aren’t into wraps, get a more
conventional baby carrier. Either way, it makes it was easier. Gives you your
hands back. And makes each process smoother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also - in the time leading up to your trip, if you or babe aren't so comfortable with the baby carrier, try and use it around the house and get used to it. That way there is one less stress.</span><br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Stuff</i>.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Limit your carry on items and stuff you carry. So, what I
mean is, if you have jackets and aren’t wearing them - have them in a bag, if
you have multiple carry on items, plus a baby, you are bound to get frustrated
and wish you had packed differently. Or, if you have multiple carry on items,
make one a backpack so your arms are free. Have one as a nappy bag with babes
stuff in it. If you have a laptop or ipad and need to take it out as security
you will appreciate having your arms free. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Identification.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Check what babe requires. All babies need passports for all international travel. This much I know. Domestic travel policies vary in each country. For domestic travel within Australia, you need to have
your Medicare card with baby's name on it. I am not sure what you need in the
US, probably your SSC. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Security.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before you turn up, know what you can take through. EBM,
formula, water for making your formula? If you are in the States, wear slip on
shoes so you don’t have to then sit down balancing a kid while sorting your
shoes out.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you go through security, baby HAS to come out of the
carrier. The carrier has to be xrayed and baby needs to be carried through. So if they are due for a nap, TRY to keep them
awake until you get through the security checkpoint. Soph fell asleep just
before we went through and lost her shit when I had to wake her up.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what it looks like when Sophie finally falls asleep, and then gets woken up to go through security. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor thing. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take off and Landing.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Babies have to wear the little seatbelt when taking off or
landing, and this can be when they are in most discomfort because of the
pressure changes. If you can, feed/nurse them now – it serves as a nice
distraction, plus the sucking helps relieve the discomfort. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Meals.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be prepared to take turns eating. It is worth eating a cold
meal (which I am sure you are pretty much used to at this point) to not have babe
flipping out. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Note to breastfeeding Mamas. I normally drink heaps and
heaps of water during the day, however, on flights I hate getting up and
normally don’t drink much at all – this led to a sudden and massive milk supply
drop. It bounced back a few days later, but yeah, it’s not worth it. Keep
drinking water!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seating.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you can it is worth having an extra seat between you for
babe or babes things. I couldn’t book one when I chose our seats ahead of time
but the check in lady helped get us some extra space which was lovely.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Air Hostess Pals.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make friends with your flight staff. They can be a huge help
whether you are flying solo with baby or in a couple/group. They have pillows
which help with nursing or balancing a sleeping babe. They can help juggle babe
if you need to use the toilet. And they can bring you an extra wine if you need
it!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Plan ahead.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How much of parenting is planning ahead? (And then usually changing
things up on the fly :P). How long is your flight? Do you have all the changes
you need? Do you have enough nappies and wipes?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Can you book connecting flights with a generous lay over?
Like, not super long but enough time to account for an hour delay. Is babe teething? Do you need to bring panadol or bonjela with you? Make sure they are small enough to bring in your carry on.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chill Out.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know what? If your baby cries the whole time and you are
worried about pissing people off, don’t worry. They will get over it. There is
always gonna be someone who gets annoyed about nothing. Most people will love
the cute distraction of a baby. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And chances are, this is far more eventful for you than babe. For them, its just another day hanging out with you (except with a lot of randoms around). Soph was a champ. She totally rocked it and enjoyed sleeping and playing. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep calm. </span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Baby reads your feelings (as I am sure you have heard heaps
already). We once saw a family rushing to catch their next plane, they were so
stressed. They were so stressed in fact that the father was rushing to get their
documents to the Customs officer and dropped the passports down the side of a
gap in the desk and they then had to wait for the whole desk to be taken apart
by airport staff. Rushing made them miss their connecting flight all together.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh and lastly, </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don’t bother buying a magazine.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chances are, you won’t get time to read it haha.</span></div>

It is an old rail way line in Chelsea, that has been renovated into a city garden/walkway/greenspace.<br />
<br />
We took a stroll along the Southern end of the walkway, entering by the Chelsea Markets. Well, Rob strolled, I waddled. It was a beautiful day. We had some yummy organic ice blocks and chatted and smiled and just in general, had a lovely afternoon.<br />
<br />
The thing I love about it, is that there is such a strong antithesis between the older industrial buildings, the lush trees, the warehouses, the flowers, railway sleepers, newer chic apartments, and the occasional peep of the Empire State building. There are such strong contrasts, it is fascinating.<br />
<br />
Here are some shots we grabbed on our stroll.<br />

Let's have a look back and figure out some lessons learned Sarah.<br />
<br />
Right.<br />
<br />
I returned to work when Sophie was four and a half months. So she went from one bottle of expressed milk and five or six boob feeds a day to all bottle feeds (unless she woke during the night). I had a pretty dramatic (if I say so myself) loss of two months supply of frozen breast milk the week before I went back to work, so I had lots of pumping to do.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My tips for gettin' it done.</div>
<br />
First of all. Make sure you have pumped before. Don't start your first pump at work. That would be a disaster. Be comfortable with your pump and your ability to do the pumping.<br />
<br />
Dress appropriately - do you want to strip down completely? If not, then you gotta make sure your boobs are accessible.<br />
<br />
Bring some wipes or cloths - you never know when these will come in handy.<br />
<br />
Bring a towel - it is good to have it in your lap. Catches any drips. Saves you from worrying if you smell like milk later.<br />
<br />
Bring a book - or your phone. Its pretty boring.<br />
<br />
Videos - I spent ages watching videos of Sophie on my phone. It makes the time go quicker, helps with milk let down, and makes you smile.<br />
<br />
Figure things out first - Is there a room to use at your work? Do you need to schedule it? Do you need "permission"? We are lucky enough to have a lactation room at work, but I didn't know who to contact about getting a key or about booking it. By the time I got into it, I was about to burst. Also, know your rights. It can be really stressful worrying about the time it takes. This can negatively impact your milk supply. Contact your HR rep and know whats up.<br />
Have you used the storage bags or bottles before? I took my collection bags out the night before I went back to work and there was some plastic connector thing I had to figure out. Glad I did that at home.<br />
<br />
Hands free pumping - Do you have a pump that you can use hands free? Some of them say they are, but actually need a bra or something else to make it hands free. I use a <a href="http://www.pumpease.com.au/">super cute little bandeau thing</a> that the funnels pop into. (And it has polka dots on it, totally important haha).<br />
<br />
EAT EAT EAT - pumping plus full time work is TIRING. Dude. It is so tiring. You gotta keep the calories up. I have some containers with nuts and dried fruit in them for nibbling as I go.<br />
<br />
Drink lots of water - I know they say that everywhere. But it really is true. When we flew to Melbourne I didn't drink a lot on the flight so that I didn't have to get up to pee. But that night - I had NO milk. I mean NO milk. So keep drinking ladies.<br />
<br />
Lactation cookies or balls - my milk supply dropped significantly when I headed back to work. So I ate lots of lactation supplements.<br />
<br />
Plan - I know I am an over-planner. But you returning to work is a big step for you and for babe. I didn't want to make a bunch of changes for Sophie at once. Rob had been bottle feeding her once a day since she was about 8 weeks, so we knew she could take a bottle, which was a good start. The week before I went back to work, we made all of her feeds bottle feeds so she would get a little more used to that being the norm while I was still around.<br />
<br />
<br />
And... for the thing we all love to look at..<br />
Whats in my pumping bag?<br />
