In Memory........

What a bad week last week was. I think Saturday I felt all the grieve I was feeling  but had to keep inside. I tried to channel that grieve into something more productive. I started planning a memorial garden for her. I figure lots of pink and a stone that say Abby. I do not think that helped. The whole day all I wanted to do was cry.

I know what I want to be when I grow up!!!!!!

27 years old and finally have a passion beyond passions. I want to be an LC. I know the path I need to take and I am so excited. Today I am going to my first LLL meeting. To meet people and to eventually maybe have a chapter in my home town. I do not know how to go about this but it is becoming my passion. I think and I know to be true that breastfeeding could save lives. Could save families money on medications. I really think more women would succeed if there was more support. I want to be that support. First I have to become an RN then I have to get my hours helping breastfeeding moms. I talked to wic and I am hoping they call me back to become a peer counselor. I seriously would quit my current job and find a way to do it. I would jump today if I had to. I really want this more than anything. Wish me luck.

It's not ok to take medication while pregnant but I will give my child formula, And other backward choices

Am I judging you? Yes probably so. Why would a person sit and suffer rather than take a medication to stop the heartburn but in the same breath say they are going to bottle feed? You know formula can be recalled. The very milk you are drinking could be contaminated. If we sat around worrying about things getting recalled , we would never get anything else done. To each their own but I don't think that makes sense.

Then you have the moms that are all about attachment parenting and breastfeeding, but in the same breath spank their kids. Once again I think that is crazy. Those two things do not go together!!!

I had to get that off my chest. So aggravating to listen to these people talk.
