Seamstress for Hire

The pump I'm using is a hospital grade one and it comes in this humongous hard gray case. I am currently lugging it into the office on a daily basis until I can come up with another storage solution. One woman commented that at first glance she thought it was a booster seat. Okay, sure I can almost see that. A gentleman asked me if it was a bomb - in jest of course. I replied, "No, not a bomb." But the best was the other morning:

Man: Is that a sewing machine?
Me: No, it's a breast pump.
Man (with look of almost horror): Oh.
Long pause....
Man: 'Cause I need some sewing done.

Could you just leave it there? Or are you still pumping in the evenings? My old co-worker in NYC just had it in a bag that she kept in her bottom desk drawer, and that's how she would get it to the bathroom to pump.

Funny story, though!

BTW, I meant to comment before that I STILL use the Lansinoh breast pads, and they ROCK. I only have to use them in the morning because I'm so full that once he starts nursing and my milk lets down, it leaks out of the boob he's not on! I don't have to wear them at night any more, and it's nice to not sleep in a bra any more!

OMG...you don't know how much I needed that laugh. Now...there's a story to tell my granddaughter!!!

I have to admit...that was a good save from that 'man'. If you want to call it a save.

Too funny.
