Birth of a Blog!

My husband and I have three precious babies (I know we all say that, huh?). Garrett is 8, Emma Kate is 3, and our newest addition is Anna Grace, 5 months. Anna Grace is the the first one of my children that I have breastfed (why she is the first, I don't know). This journey has been interesting to say the least.
My daughter fed from my breast for the first three months. Along the way we'd battled a high palette, poor latch, and reflux on top of many other risk factors against Breastfeeding. From the beginning, I have had to pump to keep my milk supply up.
I returned to work when she was 3 months old and on my second day of working, she refused the breast. This led to a 28 day nursing strike. During this time, I pumped exclusively and put my milk in a bottle, since I had to do this while being away for work anyway. Pumping is just like breathing to me. It is necessary. Everything revolves around it. My husband and I joke that I didn't just have a baby, I had a breast pump. It goes everywhere I go. (Now my daughter did eventually breastfeed again but only at night). It is important to me that regardless of how she gets it, my daughter gets MY breast milk. Breast feeding has such an emotional and psychological hold on you, once you get in to it. Something I was not prepared for!
So back to pumping (always pumping). Pumping is just a way of life for me. In the beginning, I pumped with a Medela Pump in Style (great pump) but it took me about 45 minutes to pump. I would check out my Facebook and such while pumping. Pumping took so much of my time that, eventually, I ran out of interesting things to talk about on Facebook, other than pumping. So I began to post the same post everyday: "Ponderings while Pumping" and talk about whatever was on my mind at that moment. Ponderings while Pumping has kept me sane during maddening hours of pumping at all times of the day and night. And it wasn't long before I got a few followers who really wanted me to start a blog. So here I am, blogging... While pumping.
