You haven’t lived until you’ve pumped your breastmilk into a coffee cup.
I had to laugh at myself as I awkwardly hovered over the two coffee cups on my desk midway through my workday last Monday.
(They were clean, don’t you worry.)
Why, you ask?
I’d forgotten a crucial piece of my pumping equipment yet again – this time, the bottles.
With about 13 different parts and pieces that complete the apparatus, I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t happened more often.
While the containers may have been slightly unconventional, it got the job done and my kid didn’t miss a meal.
Bonus – the ladies in the office and I got a good laugh out of it.
It seems as if this whole “mom gig” is one continuous lesson in adaptability; however, I’m discovering all sorts of new talents!
While this was a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, it underscores the importance of being flexible and rolling with whatever life throws at you.

As for my pumping escapades, I’d venture to say that they are tame in comparison to stories of some of the other mamas out there. [Let us hear those stories please!]
As an added courtesy, I warned all of my co-workers that my now-filled coffee mugs were not a new flavor of coffee creamer in the fridge!
