Reasons Why...

Reasons why you don't want to have your kid on a feeding tube:

1. Saturday night she might pull the whole thing apart and end up positioning the pumping tube at the edge of the crib. This means you wake up to a starving kid and a soaked crib, mattress and carpet. Also the room reeks of soy formula.
2. The pump might break the following night (Sunday night). Now the pump will not break Sunday afternoon say around 2pm. No my friends that shows convenience. No your pump very well will break around 11:30 pm. This is the point where you and your husband begin messing with it until 12:30am. Then you call the after-hours pump people. You could possibly be on hold for 45 minutes at a time just to be told that Julio has been notified, but you better call your local office. So you do. Another long hold. The guy, not Julio, Tyrone, who you finally get a hold of informs you that he lives in League City and do we really need it? Yes, yes we do. So finally around 3:45am the door bell rings and it scares the living snot out of you. You get the new pump--it works. Your kid gets her food around 4am. You have to speed up the food rate and hope that works. You crash into bed. 6:30am alarms start going off. You check on the kid around 7am. She wakes up and proceeds to throw up three times and is miserable because you decided to make the milk go faster. What a waste. Welcome to our world of exhaustion.
