Update at 9 months Post Partum

I often think of posting here, but spending leisurely time online is just not a luxury I've had much of since my baby girl was born. The reason for blogging that really got me logging in today though, is the appeal of having an online record of just how tremendously I love her. Every day with her is such a blessing, and heaven forbid anything should happen to me, I want her to know how much I cherish every day as her momma.

Quick update from last post:

• While pregnant and researching childbirth options, I became very passionately in favor of natural birth - something I never would have imagined given all my long-harbored fears. 
• Thanks to all that research, I was able to give birth naturally and thanks to the supportive team I had with me, was able to avoid what otherwise would have been a definite C-section. 
• I realized toward the end of my pregnancy that 99% of my passion for my birthing choices came down to a passion for breastfeeding success (which was achieved, and still going strong at 9 months pp!)
• There has been little time or energy, etc for menu planning, but since we've recently started including baby in our meals more, that could change a bit.
• In addition to natural birth and breastfeeding, I also became very passionate about attachment parenting - and came to realize it isn't so popular (as I thought at last post).
• While I'm passionate about my views, one of them is that all moms deserve support. If I judge anyone, it's the companies, doctors, and others in power who (wittingly or not) tend to undermine the kind of support moms need.
• I'll say it again: my daughter brings me immeasurable joy each day!

That's all for now.... will try to post again soon.
