I've gotten up-dates from both the women I've donated breastmilk to, and their babies are both growing and thriving. It's so satisfying to me to know that I can help, that the milk I pump every day is doing some good for babies out there who otherwise would've been fed formula.
It looks like I'll be getting a visit from the mother-in-law in about a week... I'm looking forward to it with excitement and trepidation. Excitement because obviously I like getting to know my family members more, and trepidation because I am the type who feels like I MUST hostess, and I can't think of how to keep her entertained while she's here and Chris is at work!
I suppose I'll just have to take it one day at a time. If all else fails, I'll just hand her her grandson.
About Me
- MomE
- A stay-at-home, first-time mom. One of two cloth diapering, babywearing, EC-practicing, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired parents.
I'm a dog enthusiast with four of my own. I'm a strong believer in positive reinforcement training, and have nothing nice to say about training methods that believe a dog is trying to be a "pack leader" and needs to be "put in their place."
I'm a writer with a desire to be an author. I work in the YA horror/thriller genre, and enjoy my make-believe worlds almost more than the real one most days - not because my life is awful, but because the worlds are so much fun to be in.
I'm a pretty solid homemaker-type: I love baking, cooking, and am learning how to knit. Since my husband is the quintessential absent-minded professor, I literally keep track of everything, from reminding him to take his lunch to work with him to checking our finances.
I love my life, and am happy to share it with you.
