I can totally relate. I have a challenging 5.5 yo DD and an 8 mo baby boy. The image of the three of you naked, crying on the bathroom floor had me close to tears myself. That could be me. Our YMCA saves me. I don't know if that's an...

It has been easier for us, this second time. I struggled to keep enough milk in the freezer for my daughter, but a combination of experience, more committed daily pumping, and (I think) just a better supply, we've been much better off...
