Three years, three months. That’s how long my body supported another life either through pregnancy or breastfeeding (first Megan and then Daniel).
But now it’s over. Daniel hasn’t nursed in several days. I’m sad because breastfeeding can be so sweet.
However, it was NOT an easy thing for me. (Click here to read my first post about [...]

Not Me! Monday
Posted in Not me! Monday, breastfeeding, house, kids, laughs on May 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Join in on the Not Me! Monday fun by MckMama at My Charming Kids where we are brutally honest about our imperfections and live to tell about it. (Or feel free to just laugh and pretend I am the only one who has this ridiculous stuff in my life!)
I did not dip my brussel sprouts in [...]
Back in the saddle
Posted in Daniel, breastfeeding, shadows on April 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I don’t ride horses. (Or anything that requires a saddle.)
The last time I rode a horse was about 2 1/2 years ago. I was 7 months pregnant with Meg. But don’t worry, it was an easy 5-minute ride around the farm yard on my uncle’s old horse … because Kate (18 mos. at the time) [...]
Like flies to honey (or roadkill)

I drove to Lincoln today to take Daniel to the doctor, but that’s a long story for another day.
I attracted cops like some kind of criminal, though. I don’t know what it was. I wasn’t speeding. Or … what else can you get pulled over for, anyway? Oh, I had the proper tags on my [...]
The blahs
Posted in God, breastfeeding, family, shadows on March 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The last couple days here we’ve had:
more clouds and wind
less sunshine
more whining
less fun
more van trouble
less visiting family and friends
more sugary snacks
less vegetables
more breastfeeding trouble
more runny noses
less kleenex
more worry
less joy and peace
And it’s all adding up to a bad case of the blahs.
But two quotes come to mind.
“Some days are like that. Even in Australia.”

I wan’ to ‘nuggle wif you
Posted in breastfeeding, kids on March 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Those are such sweet words. And they melt my heart every time.
So I scoop my sweet girl and snuggle with her!
Usually it’s Meg who’s up at 6 (or earlier) but doesn’t really want to wake up so we just snuggle in bed or on the couch until Kate gets up or the sun comes up.
We [...]
Not Me! Monday
Posted in Not me! Monday, breastfeeding on March 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Not Me! Monday is a fun, relaxing way to laugh at me (or yourself) for the funny imperfections of the last week hosted by MckMama at My Charming Kids.
I did not eat a huge spoonful of peanut butter for lunch one day – just because it was fast and easy – so I could take [...]
A crazy night
Posted in God, breastfeeding, pray, shadows on March 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Good thing not all nights are like this:
8:30 – to bed early
11 – Daniel wakes up and nurses, back to bed by 11:30
12:30 – Meg wakes up crying , back to bed by 1
1:15 – Kate wakes up wet, back to bed by 1:45
3 – Daniel wakes up, back to sleep with the pacifier
4:30 – [...]
My Breastfeeding Saga
Posted in Abbie, baby, breastfeeding, goals, slings on February 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This’ll be a long one.
So here’s the really, really quick version if you are running short on time or don’t want to know all the wonderful details of my breastfeeding adventure:
March 2005 – Kate is born and I breastfeed for two and half weeks before switching to formula. Kate survives, even thrives.
December 2006 – Megan [...]
Four months old!

I can’t believe my sweet boy is four months old today! Already he smiles and coos to get our attention, is working on grabbing toys and rolling over, and is finally almost a breastfeeding champ!
Growing girls!
Our sweet boy!
