Just My Tots

Arrghhh…another day more and I have to be back to work. So sien la…wish i can go on maternity leave longer.

I took 3 months off when I had Bryan. Bryan was born in November, and I had saved all my leave and took them all at the end of the year. Afterall, they would be forfeited I do not take them. So I had an extra month to enjoy my newborn Bryan then.

But with Dylan, it is now only Apr. It is too early to start clearing leave. Besides I need to keep them for the “emergency” leave. So boo-hoo…i have to go back to work once maternity leave ends.

One thing I hate about going back to work is the pumping requirement, and I worry about not being able to pump enough milk for Dylan.

I have been storing EBM for the last few weeks as back up in case my pumped milk is not sufficient. My storage is probably enough to last a few days of feeding for Dylan, and yet I am still worried. I hope I do not need to rely on my stored frozen EBM to feed Dylan.

So when I took Dylan for his 2nd month checkup/ vaccination, I was soooo tempted to ask the PD for a can of formula milk, just in case. But i diden…. Just have to make sure that I pump pump pump…

Luckily durian season is starting… Durian worked wonders for me when it comes to milk supply last time…and sashimi too…. Oh how i miss sashimi..
