The Hypocritical Momma Gnome

Everyone loves BOOBS, breastfeeding... not so much.
My boobs are no longer my own, and I'm okay with that. One day they will be mine again, but by then then will be all saggy and icky. By the time Beeb is done with them, Lovey will want his wife's boobs all to himself....Damnit.
I am so happy that we have made it as long as we have. (Nine months!!) When asked if I was going to breastfeed, my answer was always "yeah, if I can." Most replies I got to that answer was "I tried too, it's okay if you can't", but I would not think it was okay.
I have some amazing support, and I'm not talking about a bra.
First and foremost, my husband.He was so supportive, he went to a breastfeeding class with me. I remember at one point, back when we were ignorant and he said he'd get up with the baby, he said he was just gonna put her on the boob and we would all sleep fine at night. Yeahhh. ,
My mother-in-law, my parents, best friend, my sister(s), just about everyone. Now that I think about it, nobody has told me to try to bottle feed her...
Wait, the doctors did, at the hospital! They said she was losing too much weight, and told me to feed her formula. Well after a ton of anger and such from both Lovey and I, we supplemented for two months. Then, I dropped that shit, and went straight boob.
I'm proud of where we are now, but sometimes I want my damn boobs back!

Who is MommaGnome?
Well I think we can start off by answering the question, who am I? People closest to me know me as Gnomie. I am 23 and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After being in love with him for at least 4 years, I became a wife to the love of my life, my best friend, T, on June 18, 2011. I am lucky to have a husband who is willing to work his butt off to support his family while I spend all day with K. As crazy as he drives me, he's also an amazing man.
I became a mother to K Baby, on November 7, 2011. K Baby is amazing beyond words. I always thought I would never have children. For some reason, out of my sisters and I, I thought I "deserved" one more than they did, thus I'd never be blessed with one.
I am not very religious. I believe many bits of many religions. Part of me thinks I want to actually look towards becoming more spiritual.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do "with my life". By that I mean career. I've been to two different schools, Mortuary school and community college. Today I think I want to go to culinary school, with business classes, to open/own my own candy shop/bakery.
I'm happier than I've been for a long time.
More, for another day.

Today I decided to start a blog. This blog. This post is the first, apparently and I'm just getting a hang of all of it. I dont have much time to post right now, I must go take care of some home stuff before my love gets home.
