500th Post!

I must talk way too much! I so wish I could make my blog into a book. Does anyone know how to do that?

Yesterday was a HUGE day for us. I took the hospital grade breast pump back. How surreal! I didn't use it at all while on vacation. Well, I didn't even take it with us as I feared it would get stolen by the hotel staff coming into our room..and I didn't use it when we got back since I was trying to get her on the boob as much as possible to build the supply back up. It was time to go back..she is going to be 10 months old next week, and we have come so far. I washed all of my pump parts that I was given, then wiped up the pump and took it back. When I signed the paperwork saying I returned it, I noticed I had checked it out on 11/18/2008. What a long time!

Since we have been home, I have been able to bring the supply back up a little, but it isn't anything outstanding. That is okay. It is better than nothing, and that is all that matters. She isn't needing me for her sole nutrition anymore, and she is just using it for comfort and night-night. At the beginning of this journey I wanted to just get through 3 months as that would have been way longer than I bfed Matt. Here we are two months away from her turning one now, and I am pretty dang proud of myself. I wanted to really do this for her, and for me since I know she is our last baby, and I can so happily look back now and say, I worked dang hard for her to have that. What a big accomplishment for us! Now what happens if she goes past a year? LOL! I haven't really thought that far ahead..I guess if she is still bfeeding, we will come to that road when we get to it..

Today we are going to Sadie's house. She is holding a surprise party for her hubby for his birthday, it should be a ton of fun! Can't wait to see his face. She is so nervous as she said he doesn't do well with crowds, but she wants to have everyone to be able to see their new house, so she is doing a house-warming party as well. Definitely bringing the camera for this one!
