Breastfeeding: Reaching the 6 Month Mark!
In my head I always knew that my main goal for breastfeeding was to make it to 6 months. I had smaller goals along the way, but I always viewed 6 months as the finish line. When I first started it seemed so far away. The task was very daunting, and sometimes I wasn’t sure…

The Infant Seat vs. The Car Seat
When I first went shopping to pick out our infant car seat the one thing I knew above all else was that I needed the lightest one possible (I ended up with the Graco Snugride Lotus). I was/am a huge wuss, and had no idea how I would carry both a child as well as…
