Warning: preemie mentioned
DS is 11 months. My goal was 1 year (which is 4/17, so 26 days away). As of yesterday, I thought I would be done today because SIL had a micro-preemie and is being discharged today. I got the bag ready, cleaned and sanitized the bottles, bought new horns, and was, in general, elated yesterday at the thought of being done (I've been exclusively pumping this whole time b/c DS never latched), even if it meant going cold turkey (I can go 12 hours before feeling engorged, so I figured I'd just need to do some i1ce packs, some hand expression for relief, and probably leak like hell tonight since I last pumped this morning).
Now SIL is getting rental covered by insurance, and so won't need my pump for a while longer, which is great, but now I'm stuck between really, really, wanting to be done, especially when I was so excited at the thought, and feeling like I should just stick it out since it's only 26 more days. I have about 6 days worth frozen and about 1.5 days worth in the fridge.
Thoughts?
Also, thoughts on going cold turkey? I only pump 3x a day right now, and last week had a day where I only pumped twice because I forgot the membranes and couldn't pump at work.

ETA: Should I maybe continue for now and wait until the wkd to stop so I don't have to deal with leakage at work?
