In a week or two I will be saying good bye to a good companion of mine. She's been there with me for over 2 years (plus some) and right by my side through a very special, important, huge, wonderful part of my life. It's going to be hard to say "good bye". It's almost like saying good bye to a very dear friend. But she's had a good run and it's time to put her to rest. I never thought it would be so hard and bring out so many emotions when it was time to throw out my breast pump. I stopped pumping with Jake shortly after he was a year and I will do the same with Scott. When Mommy's not around, he'll get whole milk instead. My pump is on it's last leg and it's time to put the tired pump to rest. In fact, I wasn't sure she was going to make it a month ago. It's definitely been used as much as it can be used. It's done for and soon I'll stop babying it along and put it to rest like it needs to be. She's worn out that's for sure. So I guess I am doing her a favor as she just can't take anymore. But still, I have an emotional attachment to her and it's going to be hard to say "good bye". Maybe instead of throwing her away, I'll put her in my baby keepsake box. haha Just kidding. That would be strange for my boys to be going through their baby things one day and come across mommy's breast pump. :)
Have any other mothers felt this same way???
