I know that it has been awhile since I last blogged. Life has been quite interesting to say the least. Anyhow, I have been thinking alot lately. I know this is a bit off topic but since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month I thought that I should share this link.

There is no way in this world that I am going to take these kinds of risks with myself or my children. If I get breast cancer it's not going to be because I didn't breastfeed my babies. I didn't get to breastfeed my oldest as long as I would have liked to. I had a lot of pressure from work and family to give it up. I did. I regret every single minute of it. So far with DD2 we will have been breastfeeding for 12 months on Thursday! A fate I call remarkable!! We didn't make it that far with DD1! Trust me there where many times I felt and still do feel like giving up. However, the importance of breastfeeding for myself and my children continues to win out! I can't help but continue on in my motherly duty to breastfeed my children! I have always liked the quote...."Brestfeeding isn't for every parent but it is for every baby."
Whether or not breastfeeding is for you, I challenge you to seek out the information and facts on breastfeeding. There are benefits for more than just babies....moms are benefited so much too! Please, do your research before you decide to bottle feed your baby!!
