6 Months

This is back when Edwin turned 6 months, my good camera was still broken so I got this phone shot.

6 months was a big deal  because he was half a year old. Also, I almost made it to 6 months pumping and feeding him breast milk. My freezer stash was all used up and shortly thereafter i had no more milk to give my baby.  It was bitter sweet but mostly sweet. It was hard to be so attached to the pump, especially in summer time and my big boys want to live outside (I would always make them come in when I needed to pump) I know I didn't have to pump, but for my baby, I felt like it was the right thing to do, in fact, many times the Holy Spirit reminded my mind that "this is doing more good than you know" I constantly felt like there was no way I could comprehend the benefits that my family was receiving from that choice. But sometimes I like to speculate... maybe it was to help balance my hormones, maybe to protect my baby from a threatening disease sometime in his life, maybe to help with my time management, maybe to make my big boys more independent...I don't really know. But I'm glad I was able to do it but I'm also glad it is done and Edwin is still healthy and happy! So happy 6 months to Edwin...3 months ago. Back before he was crawling...sigh!

The last of the freezer stash...
