My daughter turned 2 on Feb 21 and she is still a milk monster! I can not believe we made it two whole years. Two years of latching, accidentally squirting milk in the face, giggles, little arguments, cuddles, bites 
, kisses, and snuggles! My little girl is so big now, but every night when she goes to nurse, all I see is that tiny newborn looking at me with such trust. We have battled poor latch, lip tie, mastitis, clogged ducts (OW), and even some awkward nursing in public instances! LO is old enough now to even say "Mama, are we gonna nurse or are we gonna nurse?" which is my favorite little phrase she says. 
We nursed through post partum depression, the loss of my mother, OH and I breaking up, single motherhood, and now here we are! OH and I are back together and getting married in August, I am in school full time (second semester, all A's!) and work part time (coming up on my year anniversary and ready to put in a two weeks notice lol), and we even got our own little townhouse where just LO and I have lived for the past year. Soon her daddy will be with us and we will finally be together under one roof. Everything is falling together. Even when everything was a mess and I was unemployed, grieving the loss of my mom and OH leaving, living in my grandma's spare room, and feeling like my life was in complete shambles- all I ever needed to boost my confidence was for her to fall asleep nursing, fully content, and I would realize I am doing my best. I really have done my best and I am very proud.
To all new mommas who are getting in the swing of things, battling your own issues, and wondering if you can make it- just trust your sweet little baby. They will let you know you are doing a beautiful, selfless, and wonderful thing every time they fall asleep in your arms. You can do it! The time flies so fast, and whatever choices you make- be proud of them.
