I had my appt today, it went well. We were unable to hear the heartbeat with the doppler but that's okay, I have an ultrasound on Thrusday to fully nail down the dates. I'm pretty positive of my LMP but whatever floats her boat I suppose. I'll get to SEE the little bean and I'll get to hear the heartbeat, it's all good with me.
Is it so weird that I'm so looking forward to breastfeeding again? It's so awesome, nursing a newborn and having them just fall into that beautiful milk coma with a little milk dribbling out of the corner of their mouth. Knowing that I hold the keys to their comfort, safety, and FOOD. It's quite a heady feeling...makes one feel very important to be the only one able to satisfy their childs needs. With bottles anyone, a stranger on the street could make my baby as content and 'full' as me...but with breastfeeding? It's all me, baby. It's all about the Mama. Kinda selfish perhaps, but it's just a small personal gain on all I'm sacrificing for my child. And I'm allowed to be a wee bit selfish in this because LOOK at what they're gaining? Health...lifetime health. 8 IQ points. Lowered risk of diabetes, cancer, obesity, respitory issues, stomach problems...I'm allowed to feel smug about being the keeper of the boobs when I'm giving all THAT to my baby. LOL
