Who pumped 3 oz this morning in one sitting, AFTER nursing my baby boy?! This girl did! 
I'm so excited my supply is going up! The most I ever did with my first DS was 6 oz in ONE DAY! The milk is flowing!

Woo-hoo!
This is going to sound insane, but I've been using a double electric pump and getting about 2oz per breast each pumping session (every 2.5 hours). I went to the LC yesterday and she gave me a Medela hand pump, just in case, because there were some storms predicted to come, and I pumped myself once with that and got 8 oz all together!!! I'm producing a lot though, probably overproducing really - we always have four bottles full at 2.5oz waiting for LO. Anyways, the hand pump gets a lot more out...and although it's more work, whatever works! Try it!
SCANDAL!

I think 2 oz per breast is about where I'm at. But LO had just nursed one. But 8 ozs?! Dang! You go girl with your super milk producing boobs, lol!

AWESOME!!!
my dh always laughed/scoffed at the phrase "liquid gold" but it really, truly is and every ounce is an accomplishment and something to be proud of!! Good job mama!!
Way to go! I'm a little jealous. I can't seem to keep up my supply for DD's needs. I'm exclusively pumping and only getting about 2 oz from both breasts every 3hrs. I wish I could produce more! I've been trying different ways to produce more like a little beer and eating oatmeal:)
DH spilled half of a bottle last night and I cried. It takes me so long to make so little!
I've been nursing more than pumping. I know that babies effectively pull more milk than a pump does. So I'm trying to build up my supply that way for a few weeks and then I'll start pumping a few weeks before going back to work to build my stash. When I feel engorged or Dh wants to feed LO I pump.
Also some advice to build your supply, after nursing pump for another 10-15 minutes. Supply and demand! You demand, they'll supply, lol..
