When I first found out I was pregnant I had big plans to do everything very naturally.  I've held on to some of these idealistic dreams of what parenting would be like,  while others went right out the window.  But one thing that I've really stuck to is breastfeeding, and I'm so glad I have.
I think that breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful things that a mother can do for her child.  It amazes me that every day for the past year of my life, for almost every meal, I have provided nourishment for my son using my own body.  It's amazing what us women are capable of!
