Today I had to pump because tomorrow I am going to the OB and Dad is watching Eisley while I'm gone. That means he needs to have something to feed her should she get hungry. Unfortunately, I can only pump after Eisley has nursed because if I pump at other times, she could want to eat, then be unhappy because I'm empty.
We started this morning at 0900 or so. She ate, then I put her in the swing so I could try to pump. I got a quarter of an ounce... if even that! Disappointing. The next time she ate, I didn't have time to pump because I needed to go to the store and didn't want to waste time where she doesn't need to eat or be changed.
I convinced my dad to go, too. We went to the post office to mail Ty's box and something for my dad. Then we stopped by the mall and I exchanged a top at Motherhood Maternity. Next, my dad decided he wanted to stop by Starbucks to get my mom a new cup, since she accidentally broke hers. He was nice enough to get me a frapp while we were there! After that, we headed home. Errands are always quicker with my dad than with my mom -- he's not much for shopping.
Once home, I fed Eisley again, then pumped once more. This time I got about an ounce -- not too shabby. However, the third time I pumped (a few hours later), I only got a few drops. Therefore, I need to pump again, especially since Eisley is sleeping. Too bad I need to sleep too... I guess it'll have to wait til I finish pumping.
I got to chat with Ty twice today. Only for a short bit, since I was running errands earlier and he was getting ready for mission a bit ago, but it was better than not getting to talk at all.
I can't wait til he's back. I've been working on the baby book and I am excited to show him.
