Nate’s first day of daycare was today. He was asleep when I went to pick him up. The teacher said he’d cried most of the day. *insert quivering bottom lip here* The guilt is just overwhelming for me. *serious frowny face goes here* He cried the entire ride home. *add an inadequate parent smiley character here* To make up for it I let him nap in my lap when we got home. (can we say pushover???) He’s just so little!!! On a good note: he got entirely breastmilk today! I pumped enough for him to actually have one extra bag left over! Neat!
So It was my 1st day back to school today. Lecture is mega boring!!!! but you guessed that. I got set up to pump on my breaks from class. I’m pumping in a small closet, lined with filing cabinets, in the back of the nursing office. It’s near the copy room, so every time I hear the Xerox machine, I cringe that someone is going to bust through the door and see me crouched in a rolling chair with a machine attached to my boob while reading Cook’s Illustrated. How embarrassing!!!! (for both parties!)
And just cuz I like a good blog post to contain pictures, here’s the pump I’ve been using
It’s the Medela Swing Single Electric Pump. I give it 5/5 stars!
