It's ok to not be THAT mom

I would like to tell you why I was not able to breast feed, and why I will have to have a c-section if I decide to have more kids. We live in a society where people feel trampled and looked down upon for having a c-section and not breast feeding. And heaven forbid you don't use cloth diapers to diaper your child. I am sick of people feeling bad for getting an epidural, needing a c-section, or not being able to breast feed because of circumstances out of their control. People need to learn why some people aren't able to do these things before making people feel bad, bad about the situation and bad about themselves.

I know there are people out there who may be lazy and not want to breast feed or do natural childbirth or whatever, but you should always find out someone's reason before assuming the worst. And even if they decided not to do these things for no good reason, who cares? Is it your business to know and make them feel bad? Let them live their life and you live yours. You cannot Change everyone. Why should I have to feel bad when I know I have good reasons for what I did. Or that I know I made the best decision for my situation or for my family. Y

What we need to do, is accept that even with all the chaos and heartache, our children won't remember their mother's ability to look fabulous all the time, or keep the house spotless. They will only recall the love and time lavished on them. Not quantity, but quality.

Un-Breastfeeding

After a harrowing and near death-related pregnancy (just go with it), who knew breastfeeding would be the real dilemma. It took me about six and a half months (when I began showing) to admit that I was pregnant, and then it was "Of course I'm going to breastfeed."
But as it happened, Isaac proved impossible to breastfeed.
