Benefits to Breast feeding
1. the 1001 good things it gives my daughter
2. I am teaching less because I need time to pump
3. it is a good excuse to refuse giving her to Li's mom
4. I haven't gained any weight
5. it is a constant subject of conversation amongst the woman here
6. JiXiang loves it when I come home
7. already made
8. the peace of mind that there is one thing I am doing right for my child as there are so many ways I will probably screw up in the future
9. I have an excuse to eat chocolate - the books say I can!

Negative aspects of breast feeding
1. cant drink
2. cant go for my afternoon walk in the company park because I need the time to pump
3. my tits are lopsided - one is bigger than the other!!
4. I AM SOOOOOO HUN}GRY!!! I have never been so hungry, even when I was pregnant. I cant stop eating. Thank god for benefit number 4!
5. I can not stop peeing!!! - in order to make the maximum amount of milk I am drinking so many liquids that I feel (I know) like I am peeing at least once an hour. - but a benefit number 10 would be no bladder infections.
6. I spend lots of my free time counting mls trying to make sure I have enough milk in the freezer for her to eat. It can be stressful
7. waking up at 5 in the morning to feed.
8. it is a constant subject of conversation amongst the woman here

I am sure that as time goes on these lists will continue to grow.

Has anyone seen Rosie O'Donnell's blog??? I am going to add a celebrity section on the side of my blog once my computer is working. Rosie will be on there.
