I hope you can manage not going back to work - Definately keeping my

fingers crossed for you. I really only have 3 work days left unless

My little girl comes first because there is no school Monday and

tuesday I tok off to get the fetal stress test - fluid check

ultrasound and physical examination. Unfortunately(or fortunately

which ever way you look at it) since these tests were not previously

planned they are all at different times during the day and I took the

whole day off. That leaves Wednesday Thursday and Friday which will

be my last day (I am due next tuesday the 14th. and just didn't want

to work till the last min) I will return to work Nov. 10th. At that

point I will be trying to pump until at least Christmas break. I do

not get a break until 12:30 either and hope it will work out. I will

try to pump extra befor I go back and freeze it and maybe do a

combination of formula and breast milk if I have to. We will see how

my body takes to this. This is my first baby after 18 years of

marriage and several years of fertility before WLS. I am 37 and

feeling about 57 these days so I hope I will hold up Good Luck to

you - your time will be here before you know it - get your rest and

do what you have to do for you and the baby. - Diane
