Got Milk?

Breastfeeding was always one of those things I just *knew* I would do.  And it's still a very sensitive subject with me.  Even though I did have three months of breastfeeding "part time" I struggle with the fact that I never could make it work for us after surgery.  I probably could have pushed more, but I felt like I was torturing Kennedy.  And after all she had been through, was it really worth it?  I'm so thankful that I had the huge milk supply that I did and that I was able to pump as much as I did.  I was in a situation where I had to stop pumping a few weeks ago.  It was something I had been thinking about for some time, but always found another reason to keep going.  I have to admit, it is nice having my freedom back.  And considering I have two deep freezers in my garage, full of milk, I'm relieved to know that I have MORE than enough milk to get Kennedy past a year. 

Of course, this poses one challenge.  We're going out of town soon, and we now have to deal with the task of traveling with frozen milk.  Not just a little.  Like 260 ounces of it.  I'm thinking dry ice will be my friend.  But seriously, I don't think it's going to be all that easy to deal with this.  So if you have ever done this and have any suggestions, let me know.  I appreciate any advice. 

In Kennedy news - she's really picking up on the concept of a sippy cup.  She still dribbles with it, so I only put a little water in.  Oh, and she hasn't quite figured out that she has to tip it back to get anything out of it.  I guess we need one with a straw.

I don't get it mom, I can't get any more out?

 Goodnight everyone! xoxo

P.S. Canadian Down syndrome Awareness week has come to an end.  And honestly, I'm tired!  I need a blogging break, so I may be MIA for a few days.  That is, unless something unbelievable happens.  Or I get some adorable pictures of Kennedy, which is likely.
