bittersweet

today marks the end of nursing my sweet little baby boy...it's been a L O N G 13 months and I can't believe I'm done. even with all of my problems with breast feeding I have to say it was an emotional realization that this chapter for jacob and I has come to an end. I've grown to love that special time...it is an incredible bond that I will always hold dear to my heart.

God sure created the woman's body to do amazing things - giving birth alone is mind blowing. then, producing sustenance for your baby to survive on breast milk alone is fascinating. I know many of times I complain about how women have it tough: menstrual cramps, mood swings, periods, going through labor - but my goodness I wouldn't trade it for the world. how precious we must be in Gods eye for him to choose US to do such things.

so tonight, I will "cheers" with my sweet boy to an incredible 13 months with a tall glass of milk. I love you my jacob matthew...
