1. When given no other coice, it is possible to pump in five minutes. It is also possible to pump with this sort of abbreviated pumping schedule for weeks on end, and keep supply in reasonably good shape.
2. Fenugreek really works to improve supply, and quickly!
3. Alas, a baby who sleeps well for months on end won't sleep well forever...particularly once she discovers it's much nicer to snuggle in mommy's bed than sleep alone in her crib.
4. South of New England, the cockroaches grow to be the size of small dogs.
5. It's fun to be a student again. Usually. Sometimes it also feels like living under a semi-hostile dictatorship. No cups without lids, 10 minute bathroom breaks, no whispering...ugh.
6. If you don't unpack, you don't have to repack two months later when you learn you are getting sent abroad much sooner than you have anticipated.
7. Grandmothers don't like it much when you tell them you are taking their grandchild to a large city in another country, and it doesn't help to remind them that at least it's not [insert country you find frightening here].

I am sorry you are having so much trouble pumping at work. People do not think about. I thought that your employer legally had to let you pump, though.
I am sorry you are being sent abroad so soon. That is stressful! I hope it is all worth it for you!
Wow your adventures! Glad to see you online ... can you move to MY country? Pretty please? Or will you be within visiting distance? Finally?
Oh I can totally relate with grandmothers! They are indeed more protective than the parents. lol!
