Just for the women out there...

...breastfeeding.

I just want to tell you it is one of my favorite things. OF. ALL. TIME.

I have breastfed all of mine. Karis for 3 months, Brayden for 5, and since I am not working full time now, hope to feed Lucy until she is a year old. If you have breastfed yours, you understand the connection you feel between you and your baby and how special it is. As I sat and nursed this morning, it hit me like a ton of bricks how incredible the process is. The Lord knew what he was doing when he designed it and how all of it just "works" when done right. There is nothing sweeter than your baby knowing you and your smell and knowing that only "mom" can give them what they need. Moments that bring me to tears are when Lucy (and my others when they nursed) look up at me and grin so big that they stop eating. Did I mention it is one of my favorite things???

I think the reason I am sentimental about it so much now is knowing this is my last baby. I am cherishing every moment with my angel Lucy and don't want to rush a second of her growing up. And hopefully for the next 10 months, I will continue to cherish the moments...even though sometimes it can be inconvenient. Because, it is one of my favorite things...ever.
