Here I sit, pumping away. I'm feeling really lonely right now, though I told myself not to. Sean went out with his long time friend Cat to see one of their favorite bands, The Damned. I can't get excited to see them, because honestly, I don't know who they are. The opportunity to get tickets came around a few months ago, and he jumped at it. I was hesitant of going myself knowing I would have a two month old. Good thing I didn't want to go too bad, because, well, there's no sitter! I think that is why I am sad. I am not looking to go out raging every night, probably not even once a month. I guess knowing how much life has changed, and there is not one single prospect of a sitter in our horizon, will I ever have a night out again? I guess I look around and see life moving around me and sometimes just hate watching and feeling like things are passing by. And then the guilt! Why the guilt? Because I honestly enjoy every single minute with the 'Lil D. If I had the chance to actually go out, at this point, I'm not sure I would. But for me, it's about options, and I hate having none.
I just put 'Lil D down to bed about 30 minutes ago, he was exhausted. I know I should be going to bed as well, but once again, I'm so tired, but just need time to sit and relax and catch up, y'know do things like this. I actually felt like I was putting him to sleep too soon!
So I mentioned I am pumping. I am getting a bit nervous because the past few sessions I have produced about 2 oz. less than I have been. I was a consistent 7 oz. pumper for when I would give a bottle or miss a nursing session, now I'm a looming 5 oz. Will I continue to decrease, or will this be enough? Is the hands-free bra affecting my output because I am doing other things and not concentrating on the act, I wonder.
Okay, session has ended. Time to go catch up on my Tivo...
Call me anytime. Seriously. And once I can lift things, I'll be more than happy to watch Devlin anytime you want. Really.
ReplyDeleteI went to Target today without ya and spent way too much money. I'm helping the economy. ;)
I find that I actually have to focus on pumping clear my mind and it will flow I only pump a couple of times a day and usually I can pump 10-12ozs and drink water lots of it drink it till you feel you could never drink it again everyday.
