I agree about the pumping - I hated pumping when I had to do it with DS...we had such latch problems. Luckily I'm home for maternity leave for the year, and now I'm back at work...but I work at home, so either my mom or DH brings DD to me when she's ready to nurse. I'm really lucky.
kifli - No problem!
Hope you had a fun trip!
kirsteng - I'm pretty sure BF has helped me...but I've also really stuck at the 1500 calories, I almost never go over. Anyways good luck!
Ahzuri - You can do it! Once your body get used to the new calorie level, it'll be easy breezy.
