So, it’s thursday and the first week back at work has gone okay. I can see how this will work out. I’ve gotten through the slightly less sleep (not too bad) and the handing off of child to her father (harder, but we’re doing it). I’ve managed the gauntlet of pumping and storing milk for the little one three times a day while maintaining my professionalism.<\/p>\n
There is one more hurdle: hitting the road. My job requires that I travel. I have to figure out a way to do this. 9 o’clock and 1 o’clock I have to attach a milking machine to my mammaries and stay that way for at least 10 minutes. THEN I have to unattach and clean up.<\/p>\n
All while maintaining my dignity and professionalism.<\/p>\n
I really don’t want to have to pull over at gas stations and hog their bathrooms for 15 minutes. Not sanitary or comfortable. My thoughts right now are to get a big dark sheet and throw it over myself while I do setup and take down.<\/p>\n
The DURING I have figured out and can maintain modesty if not dignity. But hooking up needs something.<\/p>\n
It reminds me a little of when I went camping with my family, and had to change clothes INSIDE my sleeping bag.<\/p>\n
