So long pump

I have dragged this pump to and from work every day since January 3^rd. I packed it up, pumped two times a day in a clutter storage room, and cleaned the parts every night.  I never anticipated pumping until Emmy was a year and never thought I’d be able to swing it again since I now work in an office 5 days a week.  Well I did it.  I made it until Ryan was a year (well almost) and I am actually stopping because he doesn’t want bottles anymore!  Not taking my pump to work is very bitter sweet for me.  Most people wonder why I am not jumping for joy (pumping really sucks) but for me it is a monumental moment.  My little buddy is growing up.  Too fast.  I am not sure what our future has in store and this may or may not be the last time I nurse a child.  So I am cherishing every moment I can and enjoying every snuggle he is willing to give.  And I know we have so many fun memories to come as he grows up but I ain’t going to lie, I am going to miss having a baby around.

Speaking of growing up, the little guy took 2 steps today on two different occasions!  Still trying to get it on video :)
