Exclusively Pumping

I'm trying to get in the swing of things with "blogging". I enjoy writing journal style entries but don't seem to have the time to get them done right now. I'm really struggling with caring for a 3 year old, an infant, and pumping.

I hate pumping. Hate, hate, hate it. It takes so much time between set-up, pumping, and clean-up. I really want to make it to Andrew's 6 month birthday. By then I should have around 3 months of freezer supply for him to make it to 9 months. I would really love to quit but I know it is so important for him. He needs to stay healthy and I know this liquid gold will help him out. Eric was breastfed for 6 months and has only been sick 1 or 2 times in his 3 years and only for a day at a time. He has had no ear infections and is the perfect size for his age. Andrew NEEDS to follow this same path. His little heart DESERVES that.

I am so thankful for my supportive husband. Without him I would not have been able to make it this far. I'm hoping I can hold out!
