Hello! We're Carrie (28), Katie (7), Rose (5) and Gaelin (2).
I spent seven years as an at-home mommy to my children despite financial
sacrifice and struggling to make it doing odd jobs from home. It was
worth it!
Once Gaelin's last surgery
was taken care of and he was no longer afraid of being without me, I
took the initiative to secure an outside-of-the-home job, and am
presently working as Parish Secretary for my church. I love it!
I nursed all three of my children - collectively surviving allergies
(all three of my kids reacted to certain foods in my diet), extreme
colic, surgeries, craniofacial birth defects, nursing strikes, and more.
I feel like I've been through a war in a way... one that I've definitely
WON!
I'm so glad I chose to breastfeed!!!
Parent-l has been a lifeline for me. How wonderful that I found the
list, and how super to have made such terrific friends! Thanks, all, for
being there! (Even though I need a 12-step program to break the parent-l
habit! LOL!)
Please visit my site listed below for photos, breastfeeding resources, information about cleft
deformities, childhood surgery, homeschooling, mothering with depression
and more!!! And while you're there, *DO* sign our guest book!!!
God Bless!
Carrie
