Thank you for posting this question, and the wonderful suggestions that everyone has. My twins were 7 weeks early and spent 3 weeks in the NICU, and the first poster who wrote about suggesting hand creme for the chapped hands, really brought me back. They are 6 months old, and I just went back to the hospital for a check up for myself, and I needed to pump before. The pumping rooms are on the NICU floor, and it was weird being back there. For the original poster- I would echo what everyone is saying. A maid service, a pumping bra, gift cards for dinners with her spouse are all wonderful things, but a phone call asking how SHE is doing, and making sure she talks about herself for a few minutes is so important!

I tried that vanilla ice cream recipe and I had a similar result. I did find a "desserts" cookbook ar Crate and Barrel and have had much more luck with those recipes. I would agree with previous poster that you need to freeze it for a bit before it will achieve the correct consistency.
