..entertaining LO while I pump!
She did not want to sit in her playpen this morning while I pumped, so we watched the Barney theme song 10+ times until I gave up.. 
This used to be so much easier when she was a younger!
What's the most difficult thing about pumping for you?

Oh no! NOT BARNEY!!!!!
The most difficult thing for me is timing. I've got it down up as few steps as possible but it's still such an involved process. I try to do it when she's sleeping.

@katsupgirl: urgh, I know.. And she ONLY likes the stupid theme song.. She cracks up whenever it comes on.. It was the only thing that would work this morning. Boo!
I bring her into bed with me in the morning, so she wakes up whenever I do. Luckily, mornings are the only time I have her by myself when I need to pump. My inability to entertain her while pumping is the primary reason why I cut out my afternoon pump..

Apparently today the hardest thing is remembering to pump. I saw this post and realized I was 30 minutes late!

@knittylady: @Espion: for me it got easier to time when LO started sleeping 6-8 hour stretches.
@blackbird: yeah.. I wish my LO would nap without me lying next to her..

@LaineysMom: I've got my LO hooked on My Little Pony. My mom is trying to start her on Barney but I won't have it. Tsk Tsk!!

That's the one! What to do with her while pumping... such a nightmare. I *just* dried up (like, Friday), so I don't have to do it anymore. I might have done an actual happy dance

I remember those days. LO would crawl up to me and start playing with my pump. Timing was difficult, and I eventually figured out how to time it right after he went down for a nap. Of course that didn't always work out. Leaving the house was nearly impossible because I had to leave right after I pumped and come back in time to pump again or else I would have to lug it all with me and somehow pump with baby in car.

Finding the time to wash the parts, and finding time to sleep! LO eats all the time, so I feel like I spend every minute nursing and pumping
