YES! Kicking the breastpump to the curb...

MissLMS · April 2010

I feel like my Medela PIS pump has been a ball and chain to me ever since I went back to work. I stopped pumping earlier this week and yesterday I wiped it all down, packed it up with all of the attachments plus the small Medela bottles, nipples, and all the old pacifiers that K never really took to, and I put it away in the attic.

I felt like dancing afterward. In the hall. By myself.

Either that, or taking the pump out to a field and kicking the cr*p out of it. If any of you have ever seen the movie Office Space, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I feel liberated!

LOL, at Office Space!! That's great that you kicked the pump to the curb.

You're too funny! I'm glad it was such a liberating experience for you!

Hooray! I'm super impressed Lydia - kudos to you & Miss K. Hope that weaning is going (or has gone) smoothly!

Wahoo! I'm seriously counting down the days until I can have that moment!

I am getting close! I am so happy for you!

I have seriously considered burning my nursing bra

Lol. I would burn my nursing bra if any of my pre-baby bras fit. But, they don't! I really need to go out and get sized again, and invest in some good, regular bras.

I loved that moment! It was such a huge accomplishment for me to EBF for one full year.

I was a little sad at the prospect of fully weaning - but really when it happened, I wasn't sad at all...NO TEARS. It was awesome.

I need to do this also, I have 2 Victoria's Secret gift cards that I got at my lingerie shower 2 years ago! I think it's time to put them to use.

Yay! I hate pumping, too!

I just want to say that I think it's awesome that you ladies breastfed for a full year. That's definitely something to be proud of. It's one thing to "try" it for a year, but actually succeed in doing it is truly an accomplishment.

Wait a few weeks when you're completely done from nursing all together... My bbs went from a D pre-pg to a C post nursing
