To pump or not to pump

I've been a very bad blogger. I've been a very hard worker and a pretty good mother while being a bad blogger, though, so I'm not feeling too bad about it. We've enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Chicago, we've survived some turmoil at work and I'm doing my best to squeeze every last drop of fun out of the summer.

But there's just this one thing on my mind today: I think I'm ready to stop pumping. OK, I better be ready to stop pumping, because I've been reducing my milk supply drastically (and enjoying the engorged, porn-star-esque boobs that go with that) and am hoping to be done by the weekend. I didn't last exactly a year (50 weeks, dammit), and I'm having some sort of guilt about that even though I know it is totally irrational. I mean, I pumped for almost a year, but I had nightmares all night about being on a crashing plane that suddenly righted itself when I got my daughter to latch on. Think I'm a little neurotic?

That's what's brewing over here, but I am still manic and trying to escape my desk, so that's all I have time to write.

Guilt is a useless emotion!

I am a bad blogger as well. And it has nothing to do with porn boobs - GOD I WISH IT DID, but whatever. :-)

You have lasted 50 weeks thats longer than I did! I could not take it anymore with a double pump and feeling like I was a cow being milked.. 8 years ago and I still remember my husbands face when he saw me with double pumps on my porn boobs. Wow, you are entitled. Don't stress out about it.

Sounds like you have your priorities straight, something I have a hard time doing.
