We made it, and now I'm all done
BFing has been one of the hardest things I've ever done -- not just in the beginning, but there is always something continuously getting in the way: finding time at work to pump, getting a clogged duct and mastitis, getting a painful milk blister, pumping & dumping b/c of antibiotics, and watching my supply tank from the stomach plague. Before Jacob, the last time I took antibiotics was in the Peace Corps 10 years ago, and I have to say that it has it's similarities to BFing -- The toughest job you'll ever love!
After this last bout of supply drop (the stomach plague), I dropped a pumping session. Then last week I dropped the other two and haven't missed my pump for a second. Jacob nursed morning and evening.
Then he got his second tooth on his birthday, and now he's chewing on me. 
We made it to one year and I'm throwing in the towel! It's been a good run.
Re: We made it, and now I'm all done
congratulations!!
EBF'ing is by far the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. it's also the most selfless thing i have ever done. i usually give up on things when they get too difficult but this is one thing i haven't.
i am so proud of you! it takes a lot to get that far.
i am at the point already where i want my pump to get run over by a truck.
(and thanks for the help :P)

Puggs, I've definitely heard exercise can make the supply tank
Mar, 6 months was my goal too and by then it was just habit so I took it day by day at that point. Then around 9 months it turned into, 'might as well finish it out'!
Great job ladies!
