And so it ends...

You may notice that I have posted much of my breastfeeding journey away from the main blog.  This was intentional.  This was if you were looking for it.  This was if you were actually interested.  I was recently given the opportunity to think about my journey for Breastfeeding awareness month and I took a long hard look at the whole thing.  Thursday August 16, 2018 marked the first day of my 19th year teaching and the first day of NOT breastfeeding my twinnies.  The first day that I would not wake them up or see their happy faces in the morning.  The first day in a line of long days that I may not see them until later, or not even see them at all that day.  It took a long time to make this happen.  A long time to make it comfortable and a long time to accept that this had to happen.  I have spent much time in therapy working through my emotions about starting and stopping breastfeeding.  So after almost 20 months we are finished with this chapter.  We move on to new routine and a new school year.  Here is my article and some great photos taken by Becci Heathcoat Photography to caption my life for the past 19 1/2 months.

Breastfeeding expert...no

i am most definitely not an expert, nor do I care to be a martyr or expert. But I have experience. I have successful experience that people want and want to know more about. I breastfed/breastfeed Twins. And not just that but I took my NICU preemies and transitioned from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding with pumping to keep up and maintain supply. I woke up for 370 nights and strapped a pump on while my babies blissfully slept (at least for about 7 Months). Why did I do this to myself? Control. Cheap. And I could.
I had it in my mind that there was no way I could keep up with the needs of twins and we would be done at 6 months of that. I said I would NOT be pumping at work which I am totally doing as I write this! I bought the formula maker, stock piled formula, and then went on to actually feed my babies now 13 Months Strong.
