    @jhd: you are doing it, Mama!! I bet it was so amazing to.see DH with T Side note: I love the Lansinoh Therapearls-def worth it! I actually need another set, one for the freezer for sore nipples afyer feeding, and another to put in the microwave before I pump. Hope you find them!

    Just wanted to stop by and give some words of encouragement. It is so hard those first few days. Pumping and not being able to hold your little one. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.

    Just keep it up! I always "stole" a blanket from my little one when I'd leave for the night so I could smell her when I was pumping. It helped to do that and look at a picture of her.

    What ever you do, it is wonderful for your little one. You go, Mama!!!

    Good luck!

    @T.H.O.U.: @ALittleP: thanks, ladies!

    I am exhausted, but I spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday and today. Milk came in yesterday and I'm getting the hang of pumping. We had our first skin to skin today. We both cried when it was over! He should lose yet another tube tomorrow so that's good news for cuddles!
