Pumping mothers, it's safe to go to Phoenix again

If you remember a couple months back, I was having nightmares about being kept in the security area by the TSA for traveling with breastmilk. I made it to and back from DC with no problems at all. Well, when I found out my next trip was going to be to the very same airport where this original nightmare occured for one woman, I was a little anxious to say the least.

Well, I'm sitting in the Phoenix airport now, Medela cooler bag in hand, completely unscathed. No emotional rollercoaster, no dirty looks and no drama. As I approached the security area, there was even a line dedicated to travelers with children and/or medical liquids. I did notice the screener glance to see if I had a baby with me, but I think he was just curious more than anything. All in all, an effortless experience.

Now, I'm just counting down the minutes until I get to see my babies! A big thank you to my wonderful mother-in-law for taking time off and coming up to help keep the boys while I was away. It makes traveling away from your babies a bit easier when you know they are being sufficiently spoiled!
