Ive seen on A LOT of blogs this week posting about nursing…
and celebrating the WORLD WIDE breastfeeding week…
I mean I myself put a post up for UDDER COVERS on SIMPLE today…
Its so strange though… that there is a part of me that still is saddened when I look at Owen and cant nurse him…

I feel almost as if I have failed or am left out?

Like im not good enough to be part of that whole campaign and “nursing moms” group…
That I am the “bottle feeding” mother… and didnt try enough.

BUT the more I look at Owen… and the more I see him thriving… the more I realize thats what really matters… is that we love our babies… we nurture our babies…. may that be through a breast or bottle… it does not make me LESS. It does not make my baby any less healthy… or incapable of anything. I have seen my other two boys grow up and thrive on formula… after weeks of failed nursing… and my children have been beyond healthy and so so strong.

This isnt a post to bash nursing. I absolutely think it is an incredible time in a womans life… and that the bond is incredible between mom and baby through nursing… but I also believe that my bond with Owen is no less… and I dont ever want anyone who reads my blog to think the thoughts I have thought when I question my choice to stop nursing.

I get to enjoy the same looks from Owen as I feed him….
I get to hold his sweet little hands…
I get to smell his hair and kiss his forehead….
I even get to share the joy by allowing my children to feed Owen… and I tell you, that right there has been SO sweet.

So to all the moms who arent able to nurse….
You are not alone this week :)
Enjoy your babies!!
Cherish those feedings…
And soak up every single minute!

It wont be long and Owen will want to feed himself… and I will no longer be able to cradle him for 20 minutes as he drinks a bottle.
Those times are precious.

I must say… I am still loving my DROID cell phone.

Its more than a phone :)

I was browsing “the market” on it last night for some new APS and came across one called “FXCamera”

LOVE IT! Its so fun to play with.

It turns your normal Droid Camera into a lil mini photo shop camera… you can do fun effects like polaroids, fish eye & Andy Warhol Portraits.

I snapped this one today after supper. Caleb asked to feed Owen :-) was so cute.

What are some of your favorite droid aps?
