Good Morning Starshine
Mar. 31st, 2012 07:20 amI'll be getting up at 5:00 to prep for work, and I want to try and ease into things. Mina was up to eat and finished and was back to sleep right before 5:00 this morning, so I hopped in the shower, pumped and now am back in my PJs and on the first floor with time to myself (Brian and Mina are still sleeping but I'd guess she'll be up soon again.
Amazing! I got dishes, trash, pets fed, bunny cage cleaned and now have some quiet time. I think this is how I will end up doing it. I'm definitely more of a morning person anyway.
She slept for a 6 hour window last night! She was exhausted from the last couple of days so I'm too smart to know she'll maintain it, but whatever.
Pumping is taking me about (on average) a half hour to empty out. I bought a Medela Pump in Style, but someone suggested renting a Symphony instead for higher efficiency. The internet seems to think that it is more efficient, or it isn't (depends who comments). I get better as I get more experienced, but I'm waiting for some advice from some lactation consultants. It would be expensive to rent one after buying one, but if I could leave the rental at work (and get a faster speed) and my own one at home it would sure make things easier on me. There is no way I can afford the time for three 30 minute pumps at work. I have to use my lunch hour for this anyway and it is going to be tough with meetings all over the place to have a set time to do it. I'll figure it out.
