Fun times: We recently returned from an awesome vacation to Wyoming! We spent 8 days in Jackson, Grand Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
Vacations like this remind me of why I work. This particular trip was actually a business trip -- we flew out about a week before my business meeting started in order to enjoy the local sights. So that saved us some money! Also, seeing the look of wonder on Littles' face as she saw a buffalo for the first time or witnessed the power of a waterfall reminded me of a quote: "Life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away." I know I'm not there for every breath Littles takes, but I'm there for the moments that take her breath away, and that's what really counts.
Not so fun times: I forgot my pump! Not such a big deal, except that I had to stay for two days longer than Hubby and Littles in order to attend my meeting! Oops. I ended up missing four nursing sessions total, and I hand-expressed milk to keep my supply up and avoid engorgement. I'm not going to explain exactly what hand-expressing entails; look it up if you're interested :). Anyway, it worked out fine, but I was really glad to get home.
