I'm sure you'll shed those last 4 pounds before you know it.<br /><br />Also, good luck with the formula. I know it's such a difficult choice to make, and I hope you're able to find something that works well for Ruby sooner than later =)Sarah @ BecomingSarah.comhttp://www.becomingsarah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-67713498897190347072009-06-11T10:51:51.986-07:002009-06-11T10:51:51.986-07:00Congrats on the weight loss!

For some reason the body holds on to a little extra while producing milk. I dunno, but I HOPE this is true. I've had fantasies about weaning for that very reason. <br /><br />Oh, and I totally feel you on the weaning. BFing is a pretty big pain (but beautiful etc). I'm not sure how long I'll be able to handle pumping after I go back to work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851060397493041024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-57877271648140350422009-06-11T08:18:21.296-07:002009-06-11T08:18:21.296-07:00Congratulations on the weight, it's such an ac...Congratulations on the weight, it's such an accomplishment!!!<br /><br />I'm also glad you made a decision.

Queen away!<br /><br />I am so happy for you, having come to a decision and being satisfied with it. I know it was a tough choice for you, and I hope the next few weeks pay out and shrug off any little bits of concern left. And yeah, formula is expensive. I'd wait until it went on sale at Target and then bought a months worth at a time. <br /><br />As for the weight loss... you go girl!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891751683807514855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-57613587137952245472009-06-10T19:05:27.635-07:002009-06-10T19:05:27.635-07:00Oh and if you sign up on the formula website, you ...Oh and if you sign up on the formula website, you get coupons in the mail.Mommy Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625055463883932900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-27763433062012024832009-06-10T19:04:35.292-07:002009-06-10T19:04:35.292-07:00I am about ready to start the bitch of the month c...I am about ready to start the bitch of the month club around these parts. Seriously cranky mommy here. <br /><br />As far as formula, fwiw, based on the research I have done the enfamil brands have the closest to breastmilk ratio of whey to casein. And Similac brands are the only ones that don't have the recommended levels of DHA. But most important is what she will tolerate. <br /><br />ANd awesome weight loss- I am jealous!Mommy Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625055463883932900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-75107895357305735312009-06-10T15:46:15.839-07:002009-06-10T15:46:15.839-07:00Definitely NO judgment here.

When it's your child, everything is a big deal, I know. :-)<br /><br />I think the formula is a great decision for you and Ruby and I applaud you for going for it at this juncture. You did great with the BF - for 6 whole months. You go girl!!<br /><br />And, way to go on the weight loss. THat is a major big deal!!

The weight is fab and everyone I know wasn't able to really shake their weight until they stopped breastfeeding so maybe it will get easier.<br /><br />And I agree with Jen - I'm not sure I would have kept up the pumping so long! Good for you for making the best choice for you and your family! xoxoThe_EmilyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518701459742284875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-16293569291736638972009-06-10T13:40:20.986-07:002009-06-10T13:40:20.986-07:00Such a positive post!
Congrats on the weight loss...Such a positive post!<br /><br />Congrats on the weight loss... that's fantastic! You've worked hard at it. You have always been very focused when you have a goal to work for.<br /><br />As for the formula, good for you. You have made the choice that works for you and your family, and have so many positive outlooks about it. You did well with the pumping, not sure if I would have lasted so long. It's more work than just whipping the titty out for sure. The cost of formula - yes, I too have peeked at the mindblowing prices, and like anything else you'll adjust. (Well worth the price when you look at the freedom you will have.) Think how much you saved in 6 months! I have noticed our grocery bill go up just from recently starting solids. They sure hose you on baby products.<br /><br />Oh, and I have a friend that told me that once she stopped breastfeeding she had so much energy.
