- What if something happens to Carter?
- What if something happens to Thomas?
- What if something happens to my frozen stockpile of breastmilk?
Sadly, we're about to discover the answer to #3.
I woke this morning to discover that the freezer door had been left open all night, likely spoiling all my milk. Unless you've toted a breast pump back and forth to work (and across the country on business trips) and hooked yourself up to it every 2-3 hours so that your baby will have his mama's milk when you are separated, you can't fully appreciate how distressing it is to have all that milk (and all your hard work) go to waste.
I don't have time to write any more about this. I've got three business trips planned for November - I have to get pumping.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Elizabeth! That's horrible! What rotten luck.
Oh no!!! Bad freezer door. Bad! I'm so sorry to hear that. Does your work at least provide a nice spot for you to pump?
There's no sink, but there is a mini-fridge and a nice faux leather sofa - and plenty of magazines.
did you ever think you'd be writing about this kind of stuff when we were all lying on the sandy beaches of gulf shores, alabama... eating peanut butter sandwiches and forming a picture-perfect benetton ad, oh so many years ago?
