God's creation of the dairy queen

The past three weeks I have experienced some pretty amazing things that God gave the womans body. The one thing that absolutely blows my mind is breast feeding. Your body goes through nine months of continual change and then out pops a baby and all of a sudden your breast are producing food, pretty amazing.

This past week my precious Londyn has decided that she needs to eat all the time. I am beginning to feel like a diary queen. At times I wish she could wait just five more minutes so I could finish getting ready for the day, scarf down dinner,straighten the house before company comes, etc. But there is no waiting for her:). I have learned to cherish many things while nursing her.
* the little noises that she makes while eating
* the gulps and rolling of the eyes, like she is really enjoying the good stuff
* she likes to hold my finger or shirt (which ever she can find first)
* the one on one time
* knowing that I am doing something good for her
* watching every little facial expression

I am also learning that most of what I like to eat, Londyn's digestion doesn't like.

Breastfeeding might be tiring and demanding at times. However, it is also very rewarding. Londyn has officially eaten, burped, spit up, had her diaper and clothes changed, and now is enjoying a relaxing Nazarene nap in her swing. I am finishing pumping to work up our supply for the sitters in a month. Now it is time to straighten up the house and get a quick snooze in before she is ready to eat.

Being the Diary Queen is one of the greatest creations ever.
