Pumping is the New Friday Night

For the first time in as long as I can remember I left the house on a FRIDAY night for approximately 5 1/2 hours without Zooey. I spent the evening at Chesterfield Mall scrapbooking with my cousin (who also has a 2 month old baby). It was very exciting and fun - I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic. I started Zooey's scrapbook and accomplished quite a bit. About half way through the evening I felt a tingle and knew that duty was calling. Funny, my cousin felt that same tingle. So, together we left the scrapbooking store with our stylish pump concealing bags in tow (see former post)in search of the family lounge, passing the party crowd at Houlihan's on our way. When we made it to the lounge and got situated we were quite the sight, though luckily no one was there to see us :) Two new mommies pumping together. I think it's safe to say that my cousin and I have reached a new level of intimacy and it seems as though I have definitely embraced my new role in life :)
