Dropping my MOTN pump!

Ladies, comfort me please. Since DD2 was 6 weeks, she has slept 11-12 hrs a night (until 4 weeks ago when I went back to work when she was 6 months!!! Now we are up ALL night long, lol!).  So early in the game, I thought such a long stretch without emptying would be harmful to my supply (I wasn't concerned about her ability as she had plenty of wet diapers and went from the 20% to 75%), so I pumped somewhere betwee 3-5 a.m. Well, now that LO is 7 months, I've been slowly dropping this pump, but I just can't seem to pull the plug on it (pun intended). (Pumping before my bedtime isn't an option right now). I am more comfortable dropping it now as LO is waking a lot lately, but I am hoping/crossing fingers/wishing/praying/begging that she begins to sleep through again soon.  (I'm guessing it is sleep regression??, which I can handle, but ugh, I am AVERAGING 2.5 hours of sleep a night for the past 3 weeks now!).

So, after all that, my question - I know our bodies adjust and we need to trust the process, but has anyone had any negative experience when they started going 12 hours between emptying?
