Day #3 *my freebie day

I thought of this a few minutes ago while I was pumping. I’m NICE everyday I continue on with the insanity of pumping. Sure part of me feels obligated to pump for the preemie babes that I carried but, it is nice that I keep up with it. It’s been over a month and it’s much harder than I expected. Not that it’s overly hard, because I haven’t had any of the standard sore nipples or painful overly engorged boobies but planning life in 3-4hour increments is difficult. Sleeping in a bra sucks. Finding a place to pump in public sucks. Leaking when I can’t get to pumping on time sucks, and
(the next lines might not be suitable for all readers…discretion advised)
doing “wife-like” duties with my husband is not as pleasurable when your overly sensitive, might leak (eek) and apparently they move a ton more now that they are a cup and a half bigger. Which also brings me to the purchase of new bras (the new size isn't fun!) Not to mention nursing bras make me feel like I have multiple personalities. Normally it looks like I’m in a non-sexy granny bra (to match the granny panties that I’ve been sportin’ to go over the c-section cut) not feeling great about having no sex appeal. But- then the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation happens and tada I’m more “sexy” than I’d care to be. The flaps come down and the gals come out and hello, I’m a daytime hooker! Who would have guessed.

Anyhow, I’m adding this Pumping in as a freebie for myself. I’m NICE daily. For the next month or so at least. I'll ONLY count it for 1 day though, wont cheat too badly.

I’d also like to say YOU RULE!!! To any of the woman out there that either pumped or nursed their children or someone else (as in my situation) for any time over 1 single day. Man, you mamas rule. Good job to all of you! It’s work. Congrats to you!
