Oh those eyes! Everyday I get to spend a couple of hours of my day staring down at those big brown eyes while I nurse. I've been going back and forth with myself about when to stop. This little piglet eats way more than his Mommy can make in one feeding so he drinks two to three formula bottles a day. When I had to start supplementing I was devastated and felt like a failure, but with the support of AJ and my family I realized that giving him some breast milk is better than none at all so I kept at it.
I'm still working three days a week so while at work I'm pumping at least twice. By Friday I'm over the pumping and ready to throw in the towel, but then come Saturday I'm back to nursing and staring down at this face. When I see these big, beautiful eyes staring back at me I'm reminded of why I keep going - for him! This bond is so special to me and I know it won't last forever so when I've reached my limit I'll remember these pictures and pump it up!
