Red that story is great. Since I wasn't your JB for most of the struggle it is nice to be now in the loop, you know help get presective. You are going to be a great MW.
You had a lot stacked against you, including the BR, which I think was the cause of most of your supply problems. You did a great thing by trying as hard as you did!
Your story is awesome, sooo well-written & just filled with so much love, dedication & determination!! As being soo confused when Gabi was born, the lactation consultant at my hospital being a real bitch (pardon my french), in intense pain from my C Section & just overwhelmed with everything..I know I gave up way too soon on trying to breast feed Gabi. Even though she turned out okay on formula ;) Your story really inspired me to give it a shot when I'm pregnant with #2...let nothing stand in my way!! :) You overcame sooo many obstacles & never gave up..I know I gave up wayyy too soon with trying with Gabi..but with your inspiration & everything I know now..I'm going to give it a try if /when I ever have another baby again! =o) So thank you for sharing your story..and thank you for inspiring me & encouraging me the way I need. =o) You are truly an incredible woman..Rob is soo lucky to have you for his wife & Logan is soo lucky to have such a wonderful momma!! You rock chica!! =o)
thanks chicka!! You are too sweet. I'm going to have to re-read that on the days when I'm ready to run away from home! lol
I'll be here for ya when #2 comes for questions, support, advice, whatever you need! BF is so hard without that. I wish our culture was one where support was readily available. it makes me so angry and sad to hear stories like yours when BFing could have succeeded if you'd had the right support system, ya know?

I've been wanting to apply for a long time, but it's bene only recently that I feel more like a "pro"/know what I'm doing, does that any sense?

I am so happy for you, though. You are an incredible woman. =)
