And now a word from Elsie. . .

This is how I feel every 3-4 hours. Round the clock. Like Elsie the f***ing cow.

I pump because breast milk is better for babies and because the girls are/were preemie's and probably are benefiting more from the breast milk than formula. I also pump because while Hannah and Abbie did seem to take to the breast better than Noah ever did, they were still preemie's and it was taking them longer to get used to latching onto the breast itself. Since I have the patience of a preschooler, it was easier for me to pump and give them them milk. I also pump because I am a WEE BIT competitive, and I pumped for six months with Noah. In all likelihood I won't be able to pump as long with the twins, I still feel compelled to give it the old college try.

Dan thinks I should consider quiting. Feeding twins is stressful as it is, especially when I am alone in the house. Pumping adds another 15-20 minutes to the process. Plus pumping in the middle of the night sucks. But it's also a good time to catch up on my TV shows as I DVR stuff and then watch it while I pump.

I know that I am doing for my kids, but it in no way shape or form changes the fact that I feel like a cow. If you think I am kidding you are more than welcome to come over and watch. I wonder if cows leak, too?
