It's been a bit...

I am still here and still doing my thing with the boobs and the milk.  I seem to have dropped off a bit though, with the quantity.  For the last six weeks or so, I haven't been able to do what I needed to do, when I needed to do it.  So - I am now working to get back to a nice level.  I am still spraying milk and my husband is still into it - it's just a lot less often. Still once a day, most days.  But I will handle most of it on my own during the day when the kid is in school and the husband is in work.  I pumped twice today - until nothing else came out.  That's what you want - to be empty, so your body will make more.  The more often you are empty, the more milk you will make.

I used my Spectra pump, but it seems to have stopped working when I went to use it again today. Weird.  It worked fine the first time today. So I pulled out the Ameda.  I like the Ameda more anyway.  Maybe I'll get rid of the Spectra.  It's bulky and loud and well, now doesn't always work. For me, the Ameda has better suction.  I won't do anything with it yet though.

I started back with the brewers yeast again today.  I am not sure if it will make a difference, but I am willing to find out.  I put it in my coffee - can barely taste it with all the creamer I use.  I have a little coffee with my creamer.  I'd rather do this than drink a beer.  Beer has a much more offensive taste than the brewers yeast in the coffee.

I may have gotten almost an ounce - total - today.  Of course, some of that was expressed in the shower, but it may have been an ounce total.  I would love to have more.  I do love seeing it dribble into the collection bottles though.

I'll be better at documenting my progress. It's been over a year since I decided I wanted to do this. Hard to believe!!  I am so glad I did though.
