Can't Quit



I don't know if people know this, but I breastfeed my little one. I have been thinking of quitting because we've hit a really hard place in the road. I need to do what is best for me and my baby. I couldn't decide what is best because I think either way (breastfeeding or bottle feeding) is good. I just didn't think I could make it one more day. Today has been really good, and now I think I can make it another day or even a week. Isn't it strange how you can change your mind so quickly?

I read this blog, and this is why I can't quit, I just couldn't put my feelings into words. I have this one thing with my baby that no one else shares with her. She smiles at everyone. She coos for them, too. But nursing her is my thing. And even though it's incredibly hard, I can't imagine giving it up...yet. I know that our last day will come...maybe sooner than later, but I will be ready for that day when it's time. It's not time yet.

So, here's the blog that puts these hard places into perspective...and it's why I can't quit. All Gone

Can't Fix It

I'm slowly learning patience. And I can't always fix my baby. She's not going to die because she cries for 30 seconds even though it feels like 3 hours.

This last week has only been 7 days but it feels like 7 years.

OOOh...she's so cute though.
