lady pumps-alot and the nourishing talk

I have been a pumping fiend. I don't love it, but I do like the healing break it has given my body. And, after 2 days of 'is that all?' when finishing, my milk supply has risen to the occasion. The only drawback: I wake every 2.5-3 hours with leaking breas.ts, and have to pump. Ah well.
Baby Acorn is growing, so that is good.
We had the most lovely time at a good friend's household on Saturday! The party was at a very child-friendly 2pm, and they gave me leave to use the nursery for pumping. I hijacked an out-of-town friend for some newborn kvetching. It was nice to catch up with so many of my old friends.
After the party Mr. S was like "you need more girl time" he said I came down from the pump/chat session looking relaxed and rejuvenated.
The only problem: I am usually worn out by 7pm, and everyone works. The weekends fill quickly.
Our little Acorn is starting to make faces, and hints of smiles. It is exciting!
