I have been putting away outgrown clothes for awhile now but we have been putting away a lot more than that recently ... until Baby # 2! We said goodbye to the breastpump, bottles, and the boppy. Sigh! I cannot believe that Emma and I made it past one year of nursing. I am so glad that I was able to share this INCREDIBLE bond with my daughter. Not everyone is able to nurse but I am one of the luck ones and I plan/hope to do it again.
With Emma's first year already gone by, I've been able to look back and think how special this year was for me. I was fortunate to stay at home with Emma and am blessed to be able to do it again during her second year. A big thank you goes out to Greg for supporting us! Do to my being able to stay at home and nurse, Emma has survived the first year with 2 minor colds. That being said, when Emma goes to school, I have a feeling that she will get sick A LOT. It was a very important decision that Greg and I made about me staying at home and Emma being nursed. This has saved us a lot of money and allowed Emma to have one on one attention. We were also fortunate enough to make friends with another SAHM and daughter in our neighborhood and now Emma will learn the important task of playing nicely. (Emma likes to pull hair!)
These items that I have put away makes me sad and reminds me how quickly this first year went; however, they will come out soon enough with Emma's younger sibling. I look forward to what the next year brings with Emma and the wonderful memories that Greg, Emma and I will make as a family!
