crying over spilt milk... Got Milk?

OK so I continue ranting from my last post... The breast feeding has become a lot easier... I would like to shout out to everyone who sent words of encouragement through this time...

Bebe A has lost a bit too much weight -the nurse and pediatrician are concerned and hence the start to fatten Bebe A for Christmas.
Yes I know that babies can lose up to 10% of their body weight but Bebe A has lost 15% of next to no weight... (as serious as this is I cant help wonder why its so hard for me - my apologies for making it about me)

I was then advised that buying an express machine was the way to go, so I reached out to family and friends for their advice - Thank you all.

We (my baby daddy and I) went to buy a machine for our breastfeeding ways. My Husband is very funny when his brother phones him and asks what he is doing his standard response is "We are breastfeeding" - this is way funnier than me writing this I promise.

Well back to the Expressing Express Machine I got a Medula mini electric swing - I looked at it for 2 days, took another day to clean it and on the 4th day I made my attempt at being a cow, I took the plunge and expressed oh my joy when I got 5ml of milk... insert happy milking dance... things got better and then worse and then better... To get a little bit of milk from your boobies takes some time. So when my jar of 7ml of hard pumping milk fell over... damn right I was crying over spilt milk.
