I have a confession. I don’t like pumping. In fact, I might hate it. I can’t quite decide if it’s the act itself or the reason I have to do it. Probably both. Whatever the reason, I despise it. 6-8 times a day I hook myself up to my good old friend the breast pump…

When It Doesn’t Go As Planned

I had my fourth baby 8 weeks ago. She came into the world pretty easily, which is exactly what my body and soul needed after three difficult births. She was tiny, beautiful, and seemingly perfect in every way. She completes our family in the way that I had hoped. Immediately at her birth we noticed…
