6 months. ❤️ Our dear little girl is half a year old! You used to be a needy crying ‘potato’ but by the third month the fog lifted and you started smiling back and now you can do so many things all at once, you cheeky monkey! This also marks our 6th month nursing. The idea is still too big for me to comprehend — this human grew inside my body and my body alone continues to nourish her despite all the trash I have been consuming (outrageous amounts of milk tea and coffee and Ruffles and Chickenjoy and mushroom chicharon). Breastfeeding has been the hardest thing in this journey so far. I thought I would not last a week, but we kept at it even if the pain was too hard to bear. (Lactation Doctor: nothing you can do but ride it out hanggang kalyuhin ka. 😅) A lot of the credit goes to my wonderful support system too. 8 weeks later it got much easier, but I still doubt my supply from time to time, even if she has more than doubled her weight by now.
I will keep reminding myself to enjoy this beautiful season of life despite the challenges with my ‘new identity,’ my diminutive earning capacity, the postpartum pudge and then some. We will never get this precious wondrous time of our lives back. What a gift!!!
To all the new moms who are here (SO.MANY.2019.BABIES!!!), keep going. You are doing a great job!!🏅 “...There really are places in the heart you don’t even know exist until you love a child.” ~Anne Lamott

"There were times when, exhausted, I held you, in the dark, to my breast, and your tiny hands clutched at the air, and nobody in the world might have been awake but us. And then the small rosebud mouth, so needy, would find its object, and every mistake and blemish in my life was absolved: there was only giving, there was only the rhythm of life restored: the small pull against my breast, regular and ingrained, like a second heartbeat." ~Lauren Oliver
