The irony of yesterdays post....

Today I got my own special package in the mail...
The booklet has eight pages about the wonders of breastfeeding, and 24 pages about how to use formula to make your life easier if you breastfeed. Plus two free cans of formula! 
Isn't that special?
I think it's freakin creepy...how did these people KNOW I was pregnant? I haven't seen a local OB, midwife or pediatrician during this pregnancy. I haven't signed up for any clubs. And suddenly, a month before I'm due, a bunch of papers about how to get my free formula and diaper bag from the hospital (we're having a homebirth) and where to get good bottles, and freebies/coupons.

I have Similac & Enfamil sending me formula and coupons in the mail, for my impending arrival. They must know something I don't, cause last time I checked, I wasn't expecting!!! I sure was hoping they were right though!!!

I received a double-pack of Enfamil back in September, and I'm not even pregnant! My youngest turned 8 last week.

My guess is that somewhere online, I looked at a site that said 'pregnant' and my info was sold to the folks at Enfamil.

When I got to the post office last month to see what the package was (they sent me a 'final notice' and I thought it was a holiday package) I refused delivery after finding out what it was.
