Getting the Breast of Me

Since I've returned to work, I'm pumping three times a day in an empty suite. I know no one will walk in on me, but I can't help but be a little nervous that potential new tenants will come in and see me strapped to the breastpump. In my frenzied attempt to hurry up the process, a few mishaps and some overrall funnies have occurred:

1. Today I spilled about two ounces of breastmilk all over my jeans.
2. My friend Paula saw my new "bag" and said she had one just like it. Really?!
3. I wasn't really thinking when I got ready for work one morning and chose a dress. I had to hike it up to my shoulders to pump and was basically sitting there in my underwear.
4. A coworker asked me if I had any sort of measuring cup since she knew I was pumping. She needed to add some water to her microwavable meal. So, I handed her a 6-ounce storage bag.

We'll see how it goes! I really want to keep breastfeeding at least 6 months.
