So today was a first....today Seth got his first bottle. As a mother I have mixed feelings about this day. On one side I am always thankful when my child is able to take a bottle. Because I work a couple of days a week, I need my babies to be able to switch back and forth from nursing to a bottle depending on the day. Thankfully both Lyza and Seth have been able to do this with no problem. On the other side...I feel a bit of sadness when they do take a bottle. Up until this point in their short life...I have provided literally everything for them. This included being the one to feed them. Up until now feeding them was something only I could do. I love that feeling of being needed from my child. And for some reason when they take a bottle it feels like their first step toward not needing me as much. I know that for 75% of the time I am still the one feeding them, but for some reason their first bottle always makes me a bit sad. I guess I just want my babies to stay "needing" me for as long as possible.

I sooo remember that bittersweet feeling of their first bottle. You're doing an awesome job. Your kiddies sure are lucky to have you as their mother. What an amazing woman you are. I aspire to be the kind of mother you are. Keep it up!
