I felt/feel ...I think you nailed it with the guilt. I felt/feel guilty about so many things, especially about not bf-ing; I beat myself up about it all the time and even though we are past the bottle stage I still look at Siiri and wish I hadn't had a reduction and that I cheated her. I think we are pressured from so many sides that no matter what we do when it comes to our kids we second guess it. When I feel like I'm doing a good job, I might read/hear something that makes me feel like the worse mother ever yk? <br />I think a lot of parenting is just stepping up and being present. I totally am with you on the lazy thing, there are days when I just should snap out of it bc I know can be doing better for all of us.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507699752932259682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20694468819743681.post-82218076162876687502010-01-13T03:30:49.733-08:002010-01-13T03:30:49.733-08:00Re: your thoughts on breastfeeding - I couldn'...Re: your thoughts on breastfeeding - I couldn't have said it better myself. I struggle with what to say to people all the time because I feel so strongly about it. I don't want to say I understand and it's ok. I want to say you need to try harder, things will get better, but they will get worse before they do. And it's WORTH it.<br /><br />Maybe someday..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830724840871023402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20694468819743681.post-33371708892034179842010-01-13T03:26:49.927-08:002010-01-13T03:26:49.927-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830724840871023402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20694468819743681.post-74394228316229690552010-01-12T07:18:44.240-08:002010-01-12T07:18:44.240-08:00Beautiful post and so true.

When we are stretched beyond our perceived capacity, we can truly grow stronger. Its like how God leads us through trials to make us stronger. While breastfeeding for me was not a horrible struggle, I have other things in my life that are. Excellent thoughts, Kelly!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757769321436298177noreply@blogger.com
