I always have a hard time relaxing and taking the time to just "be." I never thought breastfeeding or pumping would provide that opportunity/lesson. It's certainly possible to do other things while I'm feeding you...and I do. But, I've started taking the opportunity when I pump at work to just sit quietly for the 10 minutes that it takes. Sometimes, I think about you; sometimes, I thing about other things. But mostly, I just close my eyes and try to quiet my mind. I'm choosing to see this time as a gift. Most of the time at work, if I take a break, I just surf the net. Taking time to close my eyes and quiet my mind is much better. Thank you for showing me that!
And, I would never trade the quiet morning feedings with you snuggled up close to me for anything in the world.
