Jillian, I will be leaving from 17, back on 31. Well, I did miss the stroller while he fell asleep. But I surely wont miss the stroller when I have to push it around the tiny aisle of mos of the stores I went or time I had to walk a longer distance to get the elevator (hehe sister here still not confidence to take escalator with stroller)..
Linda, I think we share the same sentiment about the fb. It's kinda sense of loss like "if I stop at this age, will he be ok?" and a sense of disappointment with myself for not being able to produce.
I had decided earlier last week that his last bm intake would be on Sat, however, on Fri evening, I was able to yield 1 feed from both breasts. I was so hopeful! Then my breast shield decided to fail me. On Sat, it tore and cracked my nipple. In the end, I also express blood, nd had to throw away all the ebm. I did not have time to express and did not have enough fluid intake, this morning, I latched him and my right nipple is still bleeding, so he took some of my blood along with the bm. (eee-u)
I will try express again to see what I will be getting. If no more bleeding, then like you, I will give K bm till my supply hit zero, else, I will stop so I need not bring the pump with me on the trip.
