I made it

1 year and two weeks

I primarily nursed the first three months and then switched to exclusively pumping when I went back to work.

1,275 pumps

9,178 ounces (71.7 gallons)

647 hours

I pumped in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping. I pumped in the car. I pumped at work. I pumped in elevators, grocery stores, birthday parties. I pumped on boats, at the beach. I pumped when I didn’t want to. I pumped when it was hard. And I made it. Retired milk maker. Bittersweet. ❤️

I’m not sure why I’m positing this. I guess this feels like closure. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
