Lack of Freedom

OK, all I have to say about this one is...

Honey, the minute that baby pops out, your freedom badge gets turned in.

But I promise you won't mind. Sometimes I wondered if I needed to be close to my baby more then they needed to be close to me. The love you have for that baby will be so strong it will physically hurt. You think you love your pets, your husband, your parents, your best friends? The love you will experience when you see your baby for the first time is on a completely different level of intensity. It is unconditional and overwhelming. Just wait... you'll see. Freedom will not be a top concern. It most likely won't even be on the list.

Oh, and by the way... you want to talk freedom. Try this - Let's say you want to spend the day running errands, having your hair done, or perhaps a trip to the movies. Instead of comfortably breastfeeding your baby, you could be searching for warm water, stopping by the grocery store because you didn't' bring enough formula or going home to change all together because you dumped the entire bottle in your lap trying to mix the darn thing up.

Breastmilk is always the perfect temperature, clean, pre-mixed, and you never run out.
