This is getting old.

Nikki

I've been pumping for about 4 weeks now. I'm over it. I pump every 3 hours give or take. I'm only producing approx half of what she's eating.

I feel like I can't go anywhere or do anything because I have to sit plugged into a damn machine constantly.

My husband just got a hot tub set up in the backyard and wanted me to join him, but I had to pump for 20 minutes first, then it was right on time for baby to want to be fed, then changed then wash bottles, which he helped but once we were done with that are either of us in a hot tub kind of mood anymore? Nope

I felt good enough to return to work today, brought my machine with me only to find there are no electrical outlets in any of the bathrooms. I know I can demand a proper room to pump in that isn't a bathroom, but I'm not that kind of person and my work place is a hundred year old house that's been modified. There just isn't a "proper place" and I live 45 minutes away, commuting back home to do isn't an option either.

I originally said I'd do it for a year, then 6 months, then 3 months, now I'm struggling to get myself to do it at all anymore.
