Exclusively expressing.....happy experiences?

I have been exclusively expressing now for 3 months. I am happy with my decision to feed this way, made after consultation with a breastfeeding drop in centre etc and so I am not looking for advice on how to feed differently. However pumping every 3/4 hours is draining and I could do with some inspiring examples to keep me going!

I would really like to make it to 6 months if I can - does anyone have any experience of exclusively expressing for that long or longer! And are there any top tips for how to keep supply up? Is it possible to pump less frequently at night when the baby starts to sleep through?

I presumed that you needed to pump in the night because pumps are less efficient than the baby. I know that if I leave it longer then I get more, but not as much as if I'd pumped twice.
