How Embarrasing!

So yesterday I was work subbing and I had my first experience pumping. It didn’t go so well. I pumped at recess which was at 10:40 am. The last time I had fed him was at 6:40, four hours earlier. Recess is 23 minutes from start to finish. After I got the kids out, I made sure the shades were drawn and the door was locked. I got hooked up and I turn around and see 3 kids looking through the shades. They couldn’t see me, but they kept looking. I pretended I didn’t see them and continued pumping. Well, they started knocking on the door. After about 3 minutes of this, I realized that they weren’t going to go away and I turned the machine off and fixed myself. They wanted to use the phone! Sheesh, all that hassle and that’s what they wanted. Needless to say, I couldn’t concentrate on pumping after that. A total of 10 minutes I pumped and got a whopping 1 1/2 ounces.

Fast forward to lunch time. Door was locked and shades were drawn. I’m having an easier time relaxing now and pumping is going easier. All of a sudden, I hear someone unlocking the door! The janitor had come to let some kid in who had forgotten his lunch. I turned around real fast, put my shirt down and pretended I hadn’t heard them come in. I waited for them to leave, but pumping didn’t work as well after they left because I was paranoid that the janitor had left the door unlocked and another person might come in at any time. After a total of 15 minutes, I got 6 ounces this time for a grand total of 7.5 ounces. Just about what he had eaten during day care that day. Adventures in pumping, I think I’ll call this new chapter in my life.
