I am a little sad. My milk is gone. No more nursing for my Michael. Truthfully, I am surprised that it lasted for eight months. And he wasn't nursing very frequently anyway, because there wasn't much there. But, that still doesn't keep me from wishing things had worked out differently and I never had to use formula. I hope that what little breast milk he did have helped him somewhat.
It is really warm here in Tucson, I think it is 80 degrees today. So, the boys spend a lot of time outside. They have been digging daily in our sandbox that we call a backyard and come in covered in a layer of dirt. It is a so cute until I see the dirt footprints on my pillow or their filthy shoes. :)
We went to the park yesterday and they spent two hours making a lake and river in the sand with a couple of other kids. They just kept filling buckets with water and carrying them over to the sand. It was fun to watch them all play so well together and create something. Yea for buckets and shovels. I am hoping that it will be warm enough in San Diego to get some beach time.
I am doing the program for our Relief Society birthday party tonight and I will be talking about the strength of women past and present and my experience playing a pioneer and ...... singing a song. I am singing a song all by myself. AHHHHH! I will let you know how it goes, hopefully not a repeat of Bob's Farewell! :) I don't think my self esteem could handle it.

You should be proud of yourself for even nursing at all! Guaranteed most women in that situation would not have nursed! Yay for Cindy! I am so jealous of your weather! It has been a little nicer here though, but of course it is supposed to snow this weekend! Good luck tonight with the program, I am sure you will do great! Love ya!
I am SOOOOOOOO sorry you were scarred by that experience since it was all my fault!I'm sure you did wonderfully! I'm just jealous you got to nurse, next time I'm determined to try longer. Since we both miss it, but a month with only 1.5 ounces after 30 minutes of pumping is just not enough to fill a little belly. So bravo, you did good!
Cyn, you will do great tonight - I have full faith in you and your abilities. I have been meaning to ask how the planning was going - I am sure that it will be wonderful. Sorry about the nursing - I agree with the others I think you get points for trying so hard.
I am sure the program will be wonderful! When you put forth your best efforts, the Lord always magnifies us - it's gonna be great!!!!! I just know it!
I'm with you about the nursing. I miss it badly. I hold my sweet baby and cuddle her into my chest. Oh well. :) I'm so glad we have healthy babies!
Love ya!
