Milk banks don't exist in my state. Stupid, I know. We have a chest freezer that we're filling up though, to help when I go back to work. When my milk first came in (day 3) they were gigantic and painfully engorged- I went up to a G cup that day. Now they're settled though, and only hurt when I wake up in the morning and haven't pumped yet. I'm glad I have until October before I'm back at work though, just so I can slowly reduce my number of pumps so I don't ache/leak in class.

(you need an account to see links), I'm glad that she got the initial troubles sorted at least. Eevee has a high palate and possible posterior tongue tie, translating to an inability to latch effectively. I've had to pump for her as a result. It's funny how something that is supposed to come so naturally poses difficulties in all sorts of ways for different people. I've had a lot of judgement and naysayers about my decision to exclusively express for her, but it's better than formula and far better than putting her to breast and having her not get enough down.
We did 7.5km (4.5 mile) today with Pokemon Go; it was by far the most I've done physically since giving birth. I already hurt, so tomorrow my body will no doubt express its displeasure with me. Exercise tends to fuck with supply too, so I'm just going to need to find a routine that keeps me active without sacrificing supply.
