One of the most awkward things ever, both to do and in conversation. One of the worst parts is finding a place to pump. Especially at work. Where you don't have an office. And have to publicly ask others (granted, offices of other moms that have done what you are doing) to use their office and could they please take a coffee break you'll even pay for it just lock the door on your way out K thanks.
Most awkward place? Bosses office. Weirdest? Waste management plant. Not the grossest, though. I found out my sister in law pumped in a bar room bathroom once during my bachelorette party.
She must REALLY like me.
And I just had to chat with a coworker and friend about it. One of the moms in her preschool class really wants to meet me (I did her a teeny favor once). Like really wants to meet me. And asks each class to meet me. The coworker has politely declined, bunlet it slip once that I can't meet during that time because I'm pumping. How do I know? Said mom called me to register her son and again expressed the desire to meet me...but mentioned she knew I was pumping during the class and thus unavailable.
Talk about freaking awkward.
Ugh. Now when I do meet her she'll just be looking at my boobs. Great.
I suppose it could have been worse. Could've been a dad. Yikes.
