Andy turned nine months on July st. His stats are: weight-28 lbs height- 29.5 inches. Yes, he's off of the charts. He's gigantic. He wears 24 months and 2T clothes. Soon, when I find some time, I'll post a pic of the giant baby human.
This past weekend I stopped breast pumping. Finally. I had been waiting for this moment for nine months. I never expected to be sad. Breast pumping has been such a hassle. In the beginning, I had to pump every two hours to bring in my supply, then every three hours... I had to lug around the bulky pump to work and all of the little attachments. I should say though that that pump got me out of a lot of boring meetings, so it wasn't all bad. But it is nice to be able to have freedom. To not be tethered to that pump. To be able to stay away from home as long as I want. I don't have to worry about wearing breast pads and leaking on shirts. But it is a little sad. While I hated pumping, I loved making milk for Andy. He's nine months old and has NEVER been sick. We had to take him to the after hours clinic once for gas, but that's it. To be fair though, that is probably caused more by the fact that he does not go to daycare. But it is still a source of pride. I feel proud of myself. Sure, I could still be pumping or breastfeeding... but nine months is a great start. Will it make the difference between Harvard and state school? Probably not. But I'm proud of myself nonetheless.

You should be proud of yourself. I'm proud of ya for sticking with it as long as you did! That's 9 months he benefited from.
I've been waiting for Andy's stats. At least he weighs less than you originally thought. He's just a big 'o' chunk of cuteness.

That is truly awesome because pumping is definitely hard, hard work!

Good for you for sticking with it!
Check with Coach Mack - maybe Andy could walk on. or give him 17 years.

Kristi- Walk on? LMAO!!! We will wait for the full ride scholarship in 17 years. Did I tell you that we got Andy a season ticket to UT games with us? Well I got it. It was one of TWO charges on my, "secret card". I charged a crown (for a tooth, not a tiara.. I paid cash for the tiara LOL!!) and the other charge was the season ticket for Andy to sit with us. And I got soooo much grief from Matthew. Two flippin charges. UGHH! You realize of course that Andy and Ethan may be lining up against each other.. right? HEHEHE

I was curious what you charged, but wasn't going to ask. I think dental health is important & would charge a crown, probably would charge a tiara too!
DH is so eager to take Ethan to a college football game. Ethan's dr. appt is Thursday, I'll keep you & the football dept posted. : )

I'm proud of you, too. That is hard, hard work, but it obviously paid off. My, what a big, healthy boy you've made. And super cute, too. You can totally blackmail Andy with those bathtub pics when he gets his first girlfriend.

Pumping for nine months...I'm impressed. (and also a big jealous, my milk was GONE just before three months..)
My Little Mister is 20.5 pounds, 29.5 inches at thirteen months..he's little.

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?

Do you desire a house but you lack enough cash to acquire it?

Hy Hope u fine ..
Here i wanna share my experience about Tubal Reversal..
For many women who do not want further children, tubal ligation is the preferred procedure. Thankfully with tubal reversal, the women can now counter the process and still have children again.

You are able to develop a well-toned body quite easily through exercise. Your arms and legs tend to be shapelier than other body shapes and your backs are usually.

Pumping for 9months is really admirable i salute you by doing that monica. You are definitely a good image of modern mother.
