chatty
i believe the viral infection is from contact. one night i took a quick nap and hubby was supposed to wake me up. he fell asleep too and the next day my eyes started becoming red.
i bought it at a shop at Tamp Mall, think the shop name is cute tink. the shop has lots of bag designs, but this is the only design that has the bottom compartment and top compartment. there are 4 diff colors, brown, red, pink, and purple. if you want me to help you buy it, lmk. my parents live across the street from tamp mall and we go there twice weekly for dinner and after dinner hubby and i will go over to the mall to walk off the dinner.
i use normal batteries and it'll last a couple of pumps, dep on how long i pump per session. i know with the swing, i could go 6 sessions before changing the batteries. i have rechargeable but haven't got down to charging them.
hubby is interview with a pharm company. he is more interested in teaching but so far nothing has come out of his application with poly and schools.
i'll have to give the drop-ins a try in the warmer.
if you rent the lactina for longer term (>90 days), it's $4 a day. i first rented it for a week to try and it was very exp, $9 a day. the second time i rented it was when my fren was returning the unit she rented (she rented it for 3 months) and she extended one week for me at her rental rate. i get about the same amt using both the swing and ameda but my main complaint with the swing is that it takes a long time and that's not the fault of the swing except it's not a dual pump.
i saw the ameda backpack at the centerpoint robinsons.
if you're using it in the office with power plug, i would get the mini fridge. then you'll just need something for the traveling in between, which the pigeon fridge to go will be sufficient. or sell your pigeon one and buy the mini fridge to go.

i just saw the playtex fridge to go last night for the first time when i was surfing the playtex store.
