Pumping Update

After my little freak-out the other day, I started taking steps to try to be sure my supply doesn't diminish too much and am happy to report that it seems to be working (for today, at least).  I've been making sure to pump every night before bed, drinking at least 3 mugs of Mother's Milk tea each day, and drinking at least 64 oz of water a day (usually much more). 

Back when I was losing weight, it wasn't abnormal for me to drink 100 oz of water. Now, though, I have to make a conscious effort to get in the 64 oz.  But I'm doing it and today I was back up to pumping almost 12 ounces.  Who knows if this will be an every day occurrence, but at least I got that for one more day.  We're still hanging in there!

Good for you!!! 64 ounces of water sounded like a lot at first, but then I looked at my massive Riverside Hospital cup and noticed that it holds 28 oz, and I know I fill it up at least two times a day. That could be why I'm always running to the bathroom...
