I am thankful for being able to nurse both my kids! Tommi for 17 months and Miley for 9 months and counting. It has not been an easy thing but it has been SO worth it! I feel blessed to have this bond with my girls, give them a great start at life, and what a financial break!!
I prayed while pregnant with both of them for the Lord to give me this opportunity and have prayed all the way through b/c it has been a battle the whole way both times.
Love this! I'm praying so much that I'll have the positive experience I did with Teddy. We only had a few rough spots and it was such a blessing financially and I loved all the time with him. There were some downsides of course, when it came down to it he was much more mommy dependent because I could nurse him/comfort him with it. He self weaned a few months ago and I thought that I'd really want some time before getting pregnant and doing it all again but I've really missed it and can't wait to have that experience again. It is nice though that I'm not needed the second he wakes up (he dropped that session last) but at the same time, now it seems like he never needs me and it's so bittersweet!
