i came across this drawer the other day in my kitchen and it took me back to the days in the NICU where for 6 weeks I pumped every three hours religiously. I filled jars and jars of milk. Eventually the NICU asked me to stop bringing it and I began to fill my moms freezer. When we left the NICU last June they had a nurses aid help us carry (on a cart) my two huge boxes of frozen milk into a cooler that filled the entire trunk. I am proud of myself for carrying on as it was not easy in the beginning. I am done now and although I will miss it I am stinking happy we did it!My last nurse with each was special. i told them how lucky i felt to be their mom and as i looked down at them they each looked up at me with a twinkle in their eye and bit me.. ahh it was finished.

lovely Heather, congrats on a well-deserved rest after 11 (wow) months of breastfeeding!
Congrats Heather! That really is fantastic. You have done wonderful things for your boys.
We also have tons of random things left from the NICU that I can't seem to get rid of us.
Congratulations, Heather!!

Way to go Heather! That picture of the drawer with all those empty containers is absolutely amazing! I am glad that you feel so proud of yourself, it seems like a great way to end the breastfeeding.
