A weekend all to myself!

I had my first two nights away from Maggie.  Did I miss her....absolutely!  Did I cry or freak out....absolutely not!  I went to a girlfriend's wedding and I had about 40 hours all to myself!  I took full advantage and got a nice hotel room, took a bath, ordered champagne and even had my hair and makeup done!  It was full on pampering.  I was slightly worried that Kaleb would be stressed out back home, but after it was all said and done he did just fine (let's just say that he had lots of help from his mom).  I came back fairly refreshed and so excited to see my little girl.  The hardest part about travelling like that was the fact that I am still nursing.  I had to pump throughout the whole trip and even at the airport.  In fact, when I landed in Minneapolis I had a friend picking me up.  We were going out to dinner and then out to meet more friends.  I wasn't going to be able to pump in private and I definitely wasn't going to do it at the bar.  So, as soon as I landed I found one of the family bathrooms at the airport and got all my pumping equipment unloaded and everything out (literally) and ready to pump.  I turn the power on and the stupid outlet didn't work.  I put everything away and went on a search for another bathroom.  Pretty annoying, but that's how it goes.  I guess my next question is...when do I get to do it again??  Maybe with Kaleb this time...maybe.

  1. I imagine that the alcohol in your bloodstream is filtered out along the way, for Mother's milk is NA yes? And I've come away from this article craving Egg Nog, and I understand the disturbance one might find in that, but I love Egg Nog no matter what triggers the desire. Congrats on yer 40 hours o' freedom!
