Because I have to pack up my pump parts. I love the weekend of just feeding Ian whenever he's hungry, with no stress about if I'm pumping enough and at the right time.
I didn't have to pump that much for Wm, since he was seven months when I went back to work. I did pump a lot for Patch, but since it provided a nice structured break during my visa interviews, I welcomed it -- even though my "lactation room" was the visa filing cabinet and I balanced my trusty pump amongst boxes of the old DS-156 forms.
I do love having an actual lactation room here. Briefly chatting (commiserating?) with the other pumping moms (currently five of us) boosts my spirits and keeps me going. All the same, though, getting together the gear on Sunday night is a sad reminder of what is to come on Monday. If only my office were at Seafront and I could just take the breaks during the day to nurse instead of pump. Now that would be awesome.
Right now neither Ian nor I are in enough of a "schedule" to try and have him make the trip up Roxas to the Chancery for his meal. Maybe once he's six months or so and has started solids...
