Here we go!

I came onto blogger to start a blog to find, I ALREADY HAD ONE.
after reading my first post, from 100 years ago, it was true. I started it and never blogged again.
I want this to be a place for me to rant and share my life so I can look back and remember things about my baby and so I can follow all my crunchy mama, peaceful parenting and breastfeeding advocacy blogs.

NOW....For my first blog real entry I am going to slightly rant.

I am proud that I am exclusively breastfeeding my daughter. That's a HUGE deal to me! She has never even had a bottle. Now, I'm not bashing anyone who does pump and feed their babies out of necessity or even desire to have some time alone. That being said, I am so proud that she has never had a bottle or even a pacifier for that matter. The longest we have been apart is about an hour and a half when I was getting tattooed. It ended up horribly with my husband texting me asking me to hurry up home. ANYWAY, I get so sick of people asking me when I am going to put her on a bottle or looking at me like a crazy person when I tell them I haven't left her with anyone yet. I just don't feel great about it yet. I know she will only bee teeny once and am clinging to these moments where she still actually likes to hang with me. I read something yesterday that said, "One of God's gifts to women is their Motherly Instinct." I cried. (I'm already pretty sappy to begin with) For me reading that kind of cemented all the feelings and beliefs I have about child-rearing.

I'm just following my God-given Momma Instinct and doing the very best I can for this precious little life I've been blessed with.
