Last night as she was nursing off
to sleep I looked at her and realized that every molecule of this
little human being -- every fiber of her muscles, every brain cell,
all 10 fingers and all 10 toes (and even her little boogers) -- comes
from me. Everything but the DNA from her dad came either from my
bloodstream while I was pregnant or from the milk she's had since she
was born. Isn't that just mindblowing?

Yes! Every molecule vetted and delivered by Mama.

At almost 11 months, my DS is still exclusively breast fed (discounting
token bits of food--he just tastes and rejects everything). Not only is it
awesome and mindblowing that mother's milk can produce such perfection, but
it's really convenient, too. No messing with cereal, jars of baby food,
bibs, highchairs, bottles, baby's dishes and silverware, formula and so
forth.

A friend and I went to a beadwork workshop a few weeks ago and I made DS an
ankle bracelet from blood red and milky white glass beads, then realized why
I liked it so much. It's the colors of his food for the past 18 months
since his conception.
