Our water heater went out last night. It's tonight. I'm dirty. I would really like to take a shower. Do any other women out there who have breastfed feel like they smell like rotten milk ALL OF THE TIME, or am I just dirty? Please, come boil water for me so I can bathe like a pioneer.

Just make sure to change those breast pads, those are what make you smell like the "mysterious, sour, raunchy smell in your car, which you come to find out is a leaky, rotten milk sippie cup that rolled under the car seat and was finally found two weeks later. Can't wait for you to experience that one. And is it ever hard to remove that odor!!!
Ask Paige about stinky cars. Her old Acura reeked despite detailing a number of times.
Long live the stink. You're a new mom, showers are over rated. Anything that will keep the husband away is a good thing. Try wearing a garlic necklace to neutralize your scent.
Awwww, your comment was so sweet! The moms that I have worked for sometimes had that.... fragrance.... to them too. It's not that noticeable to people more than 5 feet away, it really isn't. But they all always complained about themselves stinking up the place! It's really not bad. Don't you have a sister there? You should go hijack her shower... I would. It's always fun to use someone else's shampoo, but maybe that's just me.
Oh yeah, and about things left in the car... never ever leave anything tomato in the car. We had a tupperware with cut tomatoes... and it rolled under the seat. It got bumped 2 hours into a long drive and opened a few MONTHS later. It was the most disgusting, vile, putrid smell you can possibly imagine. It was horrible. Ugh.... That and day-old peed in diapers. I don't like the diaper genies for that reason. People think you can just leave them in there forever, but nope! Get a small plastic trash can, and take it out when it's full. Then it will never get that old diaper-pee smell. That's second worst.
Have a good one!
Oh, sorry. That phase of parenthood is so messy, drippy, sweaty and stressful. You really need a shower. Can you sneak into the maternity area of the hospital and shower. With my 3rd, I had a Polynesian roommate whose Polynesian husband (read HUGE) used our shower and bathroom on a regular basis. Needless to say, I was out of the hospital rather quickly with that baby.
Smelly boobs, late nights, and no running water. You're starting to talk me out of this whole parenting thing...
How lazy are you? Get in the car and come shower. We have 3. You can use the sugar scrub in mine, or the fish shower head in the kids bathrooom, or relax in the basement with super pressure. Or you can use the one in the trailer. That would be funny. So that's 4 showers at your fingertips.
Ugh...just you mentioning it makes me remember my short experience with pumping. I absolutely hated it & would want to barf at how bad it smelled. I have to say I am not jealous of your stinky boobs, but I am jealous of your liitle boy! What an angel. I can't wait for more pictures. :)
Try deodorant. Also, how about your sheets? Are they soaking wet and stinky too. Yummy mummy.
Have you ever thought about walking upstairs. I had a wonderful warm bubble bath. I thought the smell from downstairs was the garbage under the sink. Jason only took out one can this week.
Does that mean that the homes you are storing your milk in will also smell ?
Just pretend that you are visiting a tropical island paradise . . . a.k.a. the Dominican Republic. Funny because Cristian still takes COLD showers every morning to wake himself up. And I mean that water is switched all the way to the cold, cold, cold side . . . So you can just pretend you are in the D.R. . . . except you are in Utah. With air conditioning, electricity, and running water. You don't even have to bring the garden hose inside to get your running water. Now that's luxury. Who needs hot water anyway?
