PWD!


Yes..PWD...Pumping while driving of course! Although I do not recommend it....I have to admit I have done it on several occassions....and the opportunity arose for the first time in my bf adventures with Fish #2. Well...thank goodness the majority of my one on one time with my Medela PISA in the car has come in the back seat or in the passenger seat. Official PWD requires being in the driver seat. With Fish #1, I had a 45 minute commute each way to work...and would spend many miles of these trips pumping away. Multi-tasking in its truest essence....Especially for a high strung type A personality with a never ending list of to do's. This time...I am doing a lot less pumping and almost all of the pumping takes place in the comfort of my own home. This latest episode brought back the not so far forgotten memories of PWD. Steps include pulling off the road, putting on the pumping bra and the hooter hider cover, plugging the pump into the car lighter, getting the pump parts out of the pump cooler, hooking up the bottles and "engaging" the horns. Ready, Set, Pump and Drive! Once your pumping session is complete, you must pull over to safely de-engage and unplug! Atleast I have never gotten pulled over...that would be some interesting explaining. I am trying not to make it a habit of it this time! Anyone else ever tried PWD??? or am I the only crazy one atleast to admit it? My latest adventure occurred on my 3 hour drive to SH this weekend. Both kids were sleeping...making it an easy decision. I was about to wake a sleeping baby and a sleeping toddler when I had at least 90 minutes left in the car! I am happy to report we made it to our destination safely with 5 additional ounces of mommy milk!
