So I've cut way back on EP since I've started work. Before I returned, I was pumping every three hours. Now, I am pumping every five hours during the day and nine hours overnight. That's a total of 4 pumps a day. The thing is...I really really want to quit. I just can't bring myself to do it completely.
I really look forward to not gettting up at the crack of dawn to pump. It makes me happy to know I won't have to drag my pump with me everywhere I go. But everytime I need to drop a pump...it's so hard to bring myself to actually do it. I'm not depressed..I guess I'm not really anything. I really can't explain the feeling I have about it. I'm just hoping someone out there feels somewhat the same way and can sympathize so I don't feel crazy....

Props to the EPers!!
I am so weird.
I do the exact same thing and it really has kept me going. I have every pump, every time, and every ounce calculated from day 1. It's crazy, but it keeps me motivated!
I also keep track of how much I make every day. I have a phone log kept since LO was about 3 wks old! I shouldn't since it stresses me out if I start to drop even a few oz. EP is such a mind fluck!
