Whew! I am exhausted....all the time. I love little Tyler and I wouldn't change a thing, but I have forgotten just how much work a newborn is. Even though I have successfully breastfed both Luke & Ashlynn for 1 whole year, I still think breastfeeding is such a feat! It is definitely another labor of love. I have to set day to day goals for doing it rather than setting the 1 year goal. Otherwise it just seems too daunting. I have read many books and literature about breastfeeding and hired many lactation specialists in the past...it is still a difficult task no matter what! I have jokingly commented that I want to list it on my resume some day. What employer wouldn't hire me if he/she really knew just how much blood, sweat, tears, pain, countless HOURS (& years!) I have worked to accomplish such a task? Although it sounds like I am complaining...I still think the benefits outweigh the difficulties. I just have to remember that things will get better soon:)
Note to self:....YOU...CAN...DO...THIS!
