about to start crying at my desk
GAH! I am so tired, I'm tired of being tired. Working FT 40 minutes from home at a new job is kicking.my.butt. I don't know if this is PMS or what, but I am just miserably unhappy! I've even contemplated giving up BFing even though I love BFing, it's the pumping I abhor!
Any virtual hugs out there?

Is there a vanpool near you that you could join? Or someone you can carpool with? I rode a vanpool for about a year and it saved my sanity. Many mornings I would climb into the backseat of the van, stretch out, and sleep the whole way into work. Sometimes I slept the whole way home too. It was awesome. I highly recommend vanpooling or carpooling. It's a great way to get some extra rest during the day & to save $$ on gas.

You're almost at the year mark for BFing! Just a few more months. You can do anything for a few months. Working, commuting and being a Mom is tough, but you're a tough lady! Be kind to yourself. You're doing a great job!

It's definitely tough, but you're doing such a great job - you've almost hit the 1 year mark. That's such a huge accomplishment. Have you thought about trying to nurse only morning / night and then maybe only pumping once in the day? Not sure how this would affect supply, but might be something to think about.
Many many hugs! It is very hard to juggle it all esp that commute.
Vanpooling sounds like a good idea....esp the zzz part
Sending you a hug and I'm sure you can make it to a year!!!!! Just take it one day at a time!

Oh K I'm sorry you're having such a tough time! Ditto PP, you can make it to a year. Its only 3 more months. Remember how tough it was in the beginning, when you had to clench down on a paci to bear the pain? You made it through that, you can make it through anything.
I know how much sleep deprivation affects you, it sucks. Big time. Try to take it as easy as you can, and let us know if we can help!
Sending you lots and lots of hugs!!!!
Sorry you are having a hard time right now. I hope it gets better soon. Pumping does suck!
