5 Reasons Why I Love Breast Feeding

1) It's intoxicating: the bond breast feeding creates between my daughter and I is euphoric. I feel happy, relaxed and healthy. 

2) I love that I can nourish my daughter from my body. It feels like my soul is giving my child strength.

3) My daughter's milky smile lets me know that she is satisfied and loves her mommy's milk. 

4) It makes feeding simple. No need to warm a bottle or clean anything up. 

5) I get quiet one on one time with my daughter. Time where I can sing to her, talk to her and smother her with hugs and kisses. 

Our first anniversary

Tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary!

Two months after Rick and I got married I got pregnant with "Sweets." Our tiny girl was born a month early on September 15. I watch her sleep as I write this and feel so complete. Rick and I each have a son and now we have our daughter.

"Sweets" was born with complications, it was tough but she got through it ... and so did we. It was a tough experience that strengthened our marriage.

My husband is my best friend. He has held me up when I thought I couldn't stand. I love him for that. He is my best friend. My sunshine.
