1 Busy Busy Week
So Mummy was due to spend a week in Shanghai on a business trip - my first time away from her since she was born.
I was kinda half looking forward to it, half worried about it until the very day before.
I packed my freezer bag, my trusty double pump, milk bags and sterilizing stuff into my check in luggage, whist my single eletric with its batteries went into my carry on bag pack.
We had breakfast together before Stevlynn was whisked off to the doctor's by SS and i headed off to my plane.
Yes she was sick when i left, fever, cough & flu - what BAD timing.
So shanghai was all city like and everything but what amazed me the most was the night lights and building lights. Plus tons and tons of sky high buildings - freaked me out half the time. What i didnt know what was it was the start to a CRAZY and sleep deprived week with tons of work and high pressure TATs.
What amazed me was that i could still keep up with my pumping schedule and managed to get the hotel to freeze my milk for me. did it so often and at such a fixed routine that the room service knew exactly what i wanted when i called each time haha. on the day before i had to wreck my heads on how to bring my milk bag. with my trusty freezer, my milk wun be able to survive the 6 hour flight with the travelling time so i went to Haagan Daaz and begged for them to sell me dry ice - and u know what, it worked. my frozen milk survived the trip :) :) ;) but i had to throw away about 11 packs of EBM, no space and i didnt want to risk the rest of the milk melting.
So after a week, i'm back - but with a bad flu and cough :(
