$250 breast pump?

So I’m a working mom, for shame.  I work in the office three days a week while my mom takes care of Layli.  And then the other two days I pretend to work from home.  I’ve pretty much wanted to be a mom forever, so it surprises me that I actually enjoy the three days of “freedom” at work.  I had convinced myself that I didn’t need the expensive $250 breast pump, and that the frustrating $50 hand pump did the job just fine.  After four months of nursing drama, I finally broke down and bought the expensive electric pump and I WISH I would have just got it from the beginning.  I had no idea how much nursing completely changes your life (more-so than the child herself, it seems sometimes).  The electric breast pump just brings a little relief to such a time consuming-but wonderful, of course, responsibility.
