become friends with your pump

As I sit here pumping for the first time today as my hubby feeds our one month old, I realize I am friending my pump.  See it daily now- it was not the nicest to me at first, I told myself I'd see it daily in the beginning but was too tired to do so. Kinda like the gym after the new year.  Then after some time, I finally got in a routine.  My milk making machines seem to be adjusting to the idea of a mechanism expressing said liquid gold and it doesn't hurt as bad now.  For anyone who is on the struggle bus with your pump, knowing it's use is for the ultimate replacement of me when I go back to work in too few of weeks, it does get easier.  Hang in there- you got this! I have had to tell myself the same thing!
