Retirement of Moo-Moo-Cow
So after dragging for a week or 2, i've decided to go 'hardcore' and stop pumping totally.
In any case, I wasn't getting much from my once a day pump now, it's been declining daily from 280ML to today's 140ML.
So today's the last time i'm using my pumps, washing and sterilizing it before they are packed into the cupboard for good.
So i've breastfed Stevlynn for 13 months & 5 days, with 69litres of frozen breast milk to last her for the next few months *i'm hoping*
To me personally; this is an achievement.
I never thought i could have lasted this long *pats myself on the back*
So BF-ing mummies, if a person like me can do it, so can anyone of you out there.
It's a matter of persistence and a matter of choice.
Trust me when i say it's a feeling and satisfaction you can never get elsewhere, even from work.
Whilst i'm happy that i've done it for so long, i cannot help but think what if i had allowed my supply to naturally tell me when to stop, when will the end date be for us?
So Christmas usually is a period of the year i look forward to, with wonderful lightings and gatherings and friends & family.
Not to mention I can shop guilt free; all in the name of Christmas.
This year's a little different, with Stevlynn in tow & the ramped up volume of work, I can barely find the time to go out of the house, not to mention shopping.
And this year, with Stevlynn as a walking toddler, shopping has been challenging.
Last year this time, she was just barely a month old and slept in her stroller most whilst we shop.
None the less, we managed to get MOST of the gifts.
I say MOST because the day after i shopped, i woke up to only remember, i had presents for everybody other than Stevlynn.
My poor lil princess - mummy forgot about you.
Time to see if i can squeeze in some last minute shopping for her; or worse case, bad mummy has to make up for it LATE
I've also finally found the time to upload her pictures from Aug onwards - including her birthdays.
How fun to look back and memories and see how fast she grows.
GrandParents YEN bought Stevlynn a car for Christmas.
Uncle YEN whines whilst they are attempting to sell the BMW away, they bought Stevlynn a car.
Cant wait to see it, i bet and KNOW she will LOVE it - she basically loves everything that moves now
