The first time I was amazed by my child

I'll never forget the moment I held my son for the first time. I was exhausted and terrified and overwhelmed and so very much in love. A part of me couldn't believe he was actually in my arms, while the other part of me felt like I had known him my entire life. I'll never forget the moment I watched my husband hold his son for the first time, either, and can only imagine what that felt like for him. I was in labor for over 8 hours, pushing for over 3 hours and then the doctor had finally decided to give me an emergency CS. Ending a long and grueling pregnancy is the most dramatic, most physically demanding way I could have possibly imagined. However, after holding my son and looking at his eyes, I felt that a magic was happening. I knew what I felt and I told myself to give only the best for my child, which is breastmilk. With the support of my husband and lactation consultant, we overcame many early challenges and other than a few bumps (and more than a few teeth), most of the first year went smoothly. After we hit one year of breastfeeding, I was debating which best formula milk to give him. By the time Justin was 14 months old, I had decreased my pumping sessions as he was fully on solid foods, and fully transitioned to NanKid in a sippy cup. It was such a breeze because he instantly liked the milk and I knew I was still giving him the best nutrition for this growing body.
