Should be interesting

I know I am a PW, but I am attached to the pump all.the.time and I get bored lol.

DH and I are going to a football game today.  Tailgating and game so we will be gone at least 10-12 hours.  My mom is watching DD until my sister gets off work then my sister is taking her to her house.  I offered to bring sposies, but they both said to bring the cloth.

Awesome re: CDs.  My family all know how to use our CDs and wetbags.  They think LO's CDs are so cute and fashionable.  LOL

You will be out for at least 10-12 hours?  How will you pump?  You will explode!

I know. I am not looking forward to it.   I am taking my pump, but I doubt I will be able to use it.

Maybe you can bring a hooter hider or a very large, loose shirt to wear over your regular clothes and pump in the car?  If I am "full" and can't pump or nurse, I become a B-I-T-C-H.

That's awesome that they are trying it!

And are you EPing for your preemie?  Major props!  I did for 3.5 months (until he finally decided to nurse) and it was a ton of work but so worth it.  I pumped & dumped in the bathroom at a football game (with a manual pump) just to relieve the pressure.  10-12 hours is a long time!

Yeah I am still mainly EPing. She will nurse sometimes, but she has to be in the mood (i.e. half asleep).  I have dropped down to 3 pumps a day since I have like 2000 ozs in the freezer to use up. But its still going to suck. I will tbe a b!tich anyway because I do not want to go, but DH is making me since some friends are in town who I haven't seen since before the babies were born.  I don't want to leave DD for that long

I hear you there, I was a nervous wreck at the game we went to because it was the first time we left DS anywhere too.  But I hope you do have some fun, it's good to get out every now and then.

That's good that she'll do both.  Once my guy stopped refusing to nurse, now he only nurses and won't take the bottle anymore.  I have an entire chest freezer full of 5 oz milk bags (who knows how many) that I have no idea how we'll use now.  Some of them are going to "expire" soon and I can't bear to throw them out.  I need to find someone to donate them to.

Yay about the cloth! But boooo game! I'd be less than amused.

BTW, I'm so jealous of you guys and your freezer stashes. After fighting for 2 months, I lost a tough battle to low supply. I had one measly 2 oz container of frozen BM that I was holding onto. I gave it to DD yesterday because it was going to expire soon. I wanted to cry.
