It’s the end of an era ❤️ Today I officially said goodbye to the pump, something that’s been such a huge part of my life for the past 6 years. I nursed the boys, but still pumped for nightly bottles & trips. But when I had Nora everything changed. Severe preeclampsia, hospital complications & a postpartum season I never saw coming… & somehow, in the middle of all that, I became an exclusive pumper. I’ve logged over 250 hours (more than 15,000 minutes 😱) hooked up to that pump, doing everything I could to give my babies what they needed. It wasn’t glamorous. It was tiring, emotional & honestly one of the hardest things I’ve done. But it was also incredibly meaningful. This chapter holds so many late nights, early mornings, tears, little victories & so much love. We’re not planning on having more kids, so this truly is the end of a whole era for me. It’s bittersweet… closing a door on a season that stretched me, challenged me & made me proud of what my body & heart were capable of. I still have frozen milk to carry us to her first birthday (with some formula too) & I feel grateful knowing I can close this chapter with no regrets. Just pride, gratitude & so much love for the 3 little people I did all of this for 💙💙🩷 . . . . . exclusivepumping pumpingmom pumpingjourney pumpingmama epbaby milkmaker breastfeedingmom breastmilkfeeding postpartumbody momsofinstagram LTKmomlife LTKKids LTKHoliday
