Congratulations! I thought you weren't due till the beginning of July :).
I'm so glad she is healthy and well. I know the nursing is hard. It doesn't
make you "less than" if you end up having to pump. I pumped exclusively for
22 weeks, and would have done it longer if my milk hadn't decided to
disappear. I know it's a lot of work, but the breastmilk is so benificial in
whatever quantity you can manage.
