Never Will I Ever

Here it is! All the things I said I would never do....and then I had a baby....

 Never Will I Ever Breastfeed. I don't know why I said this. I think I was playing devil's advocate one day and said it just to start a debate...cuz I do that....anyway....I am a pro star at it and can now do it while walking around, eating without getting crumbs on Will, and late night jaunts to pee. Yep. That's right. Documented on the web...poor Will.

 Never Will I Ever Bed Share....We do it...and we love it. And as soon as I found as much supporting research for it as there was against it....I did it more. I never would have survived without it. And Will is perfectly capable of sleeping without me and anywhere. Honestly, it is more for me now as it is for him. I am weaning myself off of it.

 Never Will I Ever Cosleep....Of course we cosleep...how else am I supposed to wean myself? Never Will I Ever use cloth diapers....It took me months of research but I finally found some that I love. Über Cute! B And we use disposable on outings. Let's be reasonable!

 Never Will I Ever use a Sling...I tried....No matter what I did he hated it. Another thing that I should have researched more but there is a lot of trial and error too. Will is very observant and loves to see! So the sling was a no go. But the Beco? Loves it! And I use it ALL the time.  Gets to face mom, see and sleep:) I don't really know what kind of mom I expected myself to be. I have definitely surprised myself in some ways...but I'm loving it! And learning things about myself :)

That's what it is...one great big learning experience and learning what will work for me and Will.
