Hey, with me, there is nothing to leak so I can pump lying down. I've been on the road for the past two days and I can tell you quite honestly that finding places to pump is a challenge. I had no time to pump today after leaving the hotel this morning. I gave a presentation, raced to the airport, flew to Charlotte, ran 3 terminals over to barely make my next plane, flew home, then got in my car to drive home in traffic and pick up pizza for dinner. No time at all to pump until I got home. I've been trying to do some longer pumping sessions and repeating every hour or two to make up.

The good news is that I saw my first drop of breastmilk yesterday at the hotel. Hopefully if I keep at it, it will pick up in amount.

The pump I'm using is the best they make, the hospital grade Symphony. The Pump in Style has the same technology as the Symphony but it isn't hospital grade. My lactation counselor thinks that the Symphony is as good as pumps get.

I know that I shouldn't be calling myself defective, but I get so tired of my body not working as I hoped it would. But despite my negativity, I persevere and hope.

Tomorrow I'm off to San Diego. How does one pump on a 5 hour flight?
