Back to Work

On Monday I went back to work. I love my job, and I feel like I enjoy Cana even more at night now. She adjusted very well and all four days she was more than entertained by our friends who watched her.

I am still breastfeeding, which means that I have to pump at work. Not a problem in a 20,000 square foot building. There are plenty of rooms to use privately. And, in my space there is a fridge that is rarely used. In fact, I am not sure how many people know it exists. So, on Monday I go pump and then put this storage bag of breast milk in said unused fridge. The bag has the date, fluid ounces, and Cana's name on it. It also says in very large letters "My Mommy's Milk" (pre-printed on the bag). My plan is to take the pumped milk home every few days.

Tuesday, I pump again, and go back to put that bag in the fridge. Low and behold: the fridge is empty. No breast milk.

Disturbing. Totally disturbing.

Huh? Who would want to take breastmilk? (especially at Crossroads)
Actually kinda funny! I'm guessing the person didn't know what it was. Hope they didn't put it in their cereal. Ha ha!

I agree - very disturbing. We're glad you're back!

They definitely knew what it was since the bag was printed on and even had Cana's name on it. That is completely creepy. Who steals milk from a baby? K8 F

Yes, I agree with Kate. Someone is messing with you. No one could accidentally take that. Unless it was another mom who is pumping at the 'roads and didn't look at the name...

Great to see you back in Kids Club - Lina is very happy and she asked me today when she would be old enough to babysit Cana! That is really strange about the breastmilk - I hope you solve the mystery!

It must have been the lack of a red sticker. It doesn't matter what is in the fridge if there's no red sticker. That's my theory!

Sorry. It's better than 2% in my coffee.

Any resolution on this?? I still think this is nutty.
