In the pump room at the NICU this one cheeky little breast pump has the audacity to suggest that unless you are operating at maximum intensity you are not, in fact, "normal". I would find this distressing (what's an over-achiever left to do when the best you can accomplish is merely normal?) if it were not for this sticker:
which makes me smile every time I sit down. I imagine there has been many a NICU mom who looks at this and thinks "Oh, if you only knew the troubles I have..." This sticker makes me fondly think of our dear friend, Laura. As most who know her would agree, Laura is one nurse who may actually be able to assist with your "troubles".

That's too funny! When one has experienced a 'one speed machine', (most likely maximum) whose performance was comparable to an industrial vacuum cleaner, a 'two speed machine' is definitely an upgrade. Ahhh, the advances in technology! Jo/Bob
Forgot to add: So, for all the overachievers, be careful what you ask for (maximum button)! to that post. Jo/Bob
now you made me have tear stained cheeks.
The wittiness of each post increases! K & D you are doing a great job in keeping us all update and smiling. Thankyou!! Suzannah

there's a whole pump room? are there ever a bunch of mom's pumping at once? it sounds so industrial.
i hope that the tube change went nice and smoothly.
