Bessie

Bessie is back!

Yes, Steve's nickname for me when I'm breastfeeding, Bessie (the cow), is back. And really, I don't argue because that is what it feels like... I'm constantly pumping for or feeding Elektra, every 3 hours or less. I've got at least 5 more months of this because the American Pediatric Association (I think that's what it's called) recommends at least 6 months of breastfeeding to provide 90-some percent of the antibiodies and such to the baby. But as time passes, I'll be attached less often to the pump over the course of the day as Elektra's feeding needs change. I look forward to being done this part of my responsibilities as Mommy; I am ready to have my body back entirely!

Moooooo.
