I just looked back through my posts to see how long I had been pumping. It has been about 16 months. I also pumped for a little over the first month. It has been so long that I didn't realize that I only went around 2 months without pumping. It just amazes me that I have gone this long! It is so hard too. I am just so happy that I have been able to provide my son with breast milk for most of his life. It makes me feel like I have accomplished something when I still feel that I failed at breastfeeding.
It has made me so much stronger though in terms of any future children. I have learned so much. I get excited at the thought of being able to give my next child the best possible start. I look forward to only being a slave to my pump at work. I look forward to maybe being able to bring my next child with me until they are crawling.
We are thinking about trying for the next one in early 2010. That really still depends on Kenneth. So we will see where he is at. I really hope that he wants a little brother or sister by then ;)
