New Tracker

I just wanted to make sure that when you saw the new tracker for breastfeeding that you didn't think that I am a total weirdo. I am just quite proud of myself for lasting this long. Those of you who have nursed know that it's not always easy and it is an accomplishment to make it past like a month. I was not a fan of breastfeeding before Tatton came along but I knew I wanted to do it because of the benefits for him... and it's cheap! The first few days being home from the hospital I wanted to quit since it was so painful and stressful and just plain hard. But like everyone said it gets better and I love it now. There really isn't a way to describe the connection I have with Tatton because of that time together. There have been a few times where I've hit bottom again and wanted to quit, and sometimes it's awkward and uncomfortable, but looking at Tatton and thinking of him just getting a cold bottle always helps me to keep on going. Now that he has two teeth I am fearing that we might not make it to one year and surprisingly it makes me a little sad. I started my little tracker more for me to see how long I can make it. Yay me...
