My New Obsession

It is official I am obsessed, my family is a little concerned and I am predicting a small intervention coming soon on my behalf. What is my new obsession you ask?? Expressing milk.... yeah that's right I have no shame in admitting it. I am obsessed in expressing and freezing breast milk. Now I am sure many of you cannot relate and think I am a little crazy but I have no doubt that those of you who have or currently are breast feeding understand me very well. In our house we call this milk liquid gold and it is coveted. I'm sure you're now asking why Sophia, why is this such a big deal. Well, this obsession means many things. It means a nap, it means a solo trip to Target, it means a date night with Brandon, it means a break and did I mention a nap? I have so far expressed and frozen nine 6-ounce bags of milk that is 54oz! I am currently working on my tenth bag. This does not include a full 6oz bottle of milk that Brandon demands replenished and full for his feedings either. I'm pretty amazing I know. The time and dedication breast feeding and pumping requires is unreal. It is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done. I applaud and commend breast-feeding mothers everywhere.

FYI, the shelf above is now also full
