NoJoMo Day 22

Thought I posted yesterday…did I not? 

Would you believe I was given another pump today?  It’s a Medela.  I took it because my parts are Medela and I like them better than the Ameda parts.  HOWEVER, the Medela pump doesn’t seem to work as well for me as the Ameda… so I’m going to give away the Medela.  I did get some more breastmilk storage bags out of the deal though .  I’ve been wanting to get a freezer stash going, so this might be what I need.  Actually, I HAVE storage bags already.  But until the last few days, when I figured out that the baby is probably getting enough milk from me… I wasn’t using them.  Now the question becomes, SHOULD I use them, or not?  Dare I?  If nothing else, this might be what I need to up my milk supply.  If I do some more pumping, it will signal my body to make more milk.  This might be a process I won’t have to fight so hard for.  I am very proud of myself for sticking with it.  I am proud of myself for learning everything I did.  I am proud of myself for getting the Universe to give me a pump so I could make this work.  I could not have made it work without the pump, I do not believe.  Hm… Alex is awake, I do believe.  Shoot… I am on empty probably.  Well, we’ll see what she can get out of me.  I may not be completely empty, however, I did just spend the last hour pumping every ten minutes, and the 10 minutes I would not pump, I would use the heating pad.  But the pump is not as good at getting out the milk. 

Gotta go feed little Seymour (think Little Shop of Horrors and you’ll get the reference)
