No, you cannot take my coat!

I am currently sitting at my desk, in my 70+ degree office, with my heavy wool coat on. Why? Well in hopes that nobody will notice that I have square boobs today, that's why.

Allow me to elaborate:

Last night was AMAZING in the sleep department! Abigail went to bed without a fuss, slept for over 4 hours, woke up to eat, went right back to sleep & didn't wake up again until 5:40 am (another 5.5 hours). I am SO happy! I don't know if it was a fluke, but it was amazing & I feel like a million bucks today!

So maybe I was a little distracted in my rested, jovial state. Too distracted to remember to put my nursing pads in my bra this morning...

Then, I'm sitting at my desk typing away when I feel it...the tingle that means my body thinks Abigail should be eating right now. In fact, she probably is having a bottle at daycare this very moment. However, as I type, I start to feel a little cold...then I realize OOPS! My milk is letting down & I have nothing to catch it! I'm at work with no boob pads, and I'm in the midst of springing a leak!
So quickly I applied pressure - it's like any emergency situation. If someone is gushing blood, apply pressure - same applies if you are gushing milk. I guess I'm lucky nobody walked into the office to see me grabbing my boobs, that would have been awkward.

Anyway, I knew I needed something to get me through the day, or I would have to wear my heavy wool coat all day long in my 70 degree office. And probably, by the end of the day the milk would have soaked my shirt to the point where I would reek of dairy!
So, I did my best McGyver. Check it out!

That is a bathroom paper towel folded up & packing tape on one side. I could probably make a fortune selling these on Etsy.com!

Only problem is, I now have lumpy square boobs.

 So maybe I will be wearing my coat afterall. I'm still proud of my first "milk" aid.

Hope this gave someone a morning laugh. I certainly feel like a mess of a mom today, and can't help but laugh it off.
