I know...if only my kids didn't eat it all on their own!

I pumped daily, too. And it only took me between 15-30 minutes to get all that with a 2-boobed pump. I have friends who need *hours* to pump just 4 oz., even with a good breast pump. Not me!

Seriously! I could have had a fabulous career as a wet-nurse, doncha' think? I was apparently born to the wrong century! LOL! grin

LOL! So true! I was used to DS7's Spockian approach to life, so this didn't even surprise me. It was pretty funny though, and it sure makes a good story now.

I just wonder what made him decide he was done, you know? No idea what was going on in that head of his...

I have great admiration for people who BF for 2+ years though. By 12 months, I was sooooo tired of the doubled up breast pads, waking up covered in milk in the middle of the night, leaking if my son cried or I even thought about him too hard...

Really, 3.5 years is AWESOME!!!
