Breastfeeding is an awesome experience. Pumping? Not so much. In fact, it sucks. Being hooked up to a machine that pumps milk out of your boobs seriously can make any woman feel like a cow. Not only this, but watching and knowing how much milk is coming out is not exactly stress friendly. However, pumping is good for one thing; free time to catch up on the news, blogs, message boards, or any book that I'm trying to read. That is, if I'm actually working in an office setting or at home. Pumping while driving is doable, but not exactly comfortable. And having to pump in your car wherever is, well, interesting. My job travels so each day I could be pumping somewhere different. At least I know Baby D is getting some of the good stuff while I'm away. I do believe a fellow pumper was leaving the nurses' office as I was coming in. I just have to say, rock on fellow pumper. Rock on. With how many times I've been down there pumping, I don't think I've ever been there at the same time as another pumper.
This morning, before I went to pump, I went and used the restroom. Why am I telling you this? Because as I came out of the stall and looked in the mirror while washing my hands, I realize that right under my boob on my nice place shirt, there is a nice thick line of spit up. How it ended up there I have no idea. That's twice in the last week I've worn spit up to work. I wonder how many people saw me walking around with that on though.
I was joking with the husband the other day that we must have started something. Some if those close to us are now pregnant! By the end of the year our little baby circle will be growing! I am so excited. Babies are so much fun and it will be nice to have other young mommies around.
On a last note, every office should have free caffeine for parents. Not just coffee, as I'm not a coffee drinker, but some sodas too. I am beyond tired today, the office is extremely quiet, and it's dark. I have no windows anywhere around my desk. Talk about forcing my self to stay awake an productive. On a happy note, at least it's Friday!
