XP: working/ oversupply?!

So, last week, 7 weeks pp, I went back to work FT from 8 5 and I pumped 3x per day appx. 9:30, 12:30 3:30. I was originally worried about not making enough but now it seems pumping has caused an oversupply! I pumped about 13 oz. on Monday and by Friday, I pumped 18oz and spent all weekend feeling quite "full" and sometimes even engorged. My LO usually only eats from one breast per feeding occasionally he will do both so I am wondering if I should pump only one side per pump session or cut out a pump session? I don't want my supply to drop I struggled with major supply issues with my first LO but I don't want to struggle with discomfort or be a slave to the pump on the weekends. Any suggestions?!
