week 15 (macgyver pumping) 99-105 days

latest act of forgetfulness: i forgot to bring milk storage bottles to work. as i sat in my office trying to visualize which of my office supplies would be best at collecting milk (paper clip holder? ha!) i almost gave up and sheepishly drove home. not wanting to explain to my employer that i had to leave early, i decided to jump online and ask the babygaga.com breastfeeding mamas for advice. thanks to some very resourceful (and super speedy!) mamas, less than a minute later i was pumping into two lansinoh storage bags which i had tucked away in my pump tote. for some reason i had thought the suction would be affected, and was relieved to be proved wrong. i simply held the bags around the flanges and pumped. my only moment of panic occurred when i realized that it was time to turn off the pump and yet my hands were literally full. luckily, lansinoh bags are self standing with a flat bottom surface and after a quick balancing act, i managed to turn the pump off without spilling milk all over myself. since my cooler bag was at home with the forgotten storage bottles, i put the storage bags in a large catalog size company envelope with my name on it and threw it in the fridge. incredibly proud of myself i immediately held the envelope out to boo's daddy as soon as i got home with a big "look what i can do!" smile.
