On Tuesday I was bleaching their toys in the sink and I threw my pump pieces in there too. I stupidly took everything apart - even the little plug that goes in the tubing which I KNOW fits down the drain. So, once I emptied everything out of the sink I realized both little plugs went down. There was no way I could pump and you can't just go to the store for those parts, so I was in a tough spot.
So I undid the elbow joint in the plumbing under the sink (Jason was in Iowa for work for 3 days) and I found one of the plugs, but the other must've keep going down. I was so happy to at least have one plug. Then I tried putting the sink plumbing back together and it wasnt lining up right, so the sink leaks now. Ugh! So I ordered replacement tubing with the plugs in it right away.
So I have been pumping for 30-40 min 6x a day since Tuesday (normally I pump 15-20 min 6x a day). I only had one plug so I had to pump one side at a time instead of both at the same time. It has been so time consuming. Today I was so happy to see the replacement tubing I ordered came! It seemed like a breeze to pump both sides at the same time and be done in 15 minutes! Now pumping seems easy. lol
Can I make it 3 more months????? 12 months was my original goal! So far we have been able to get by without formula.
We grow so fast. . .

I think you can make it 3 more months! You are almost there, you can practically see the finish line. Good job on making it this far!
ReplyDeleteYou can make it, Jill! I have such admiration for you to make it this long so far. I lasted only 6 weeks and it was tough. Funny thing is that I had the same problem for the 1st 2 weeks... my pump was missing a piece so I had to do one side at a time and it took FOREVER, not to mention such little suction. How frustrating!
