Nursing: Not What I Expected {From the Archives}

First off let me say, I am not a doctor or a lactation consultant. This is my experience and while I’m sure others have similar experiences, nursing is something that is a very personal choice and experience. I hope that anyone that is experiencing difficulty will find some comfort in my story.

I remember sitting in the baby feeding class and hearing about how difficult breastfeeding would be. I definitely believed them and took notes on how it would take at least six weeks for it to be easy. Breastfeeding hadn’t even been a decision for me… I mean its free food that has so many benefits, why wouldn’t I breastfeed? I never truly understood HOW difficult it could be.

Hi OKC! I'm Carrie! My husband, Steven, and I met in college but never dated. Many years later, we reconnected and fell in love. After a whirlwind romance and gorgeous wedding I gave up my Texan status and moved to Oklahoma (he was worth it!) He spends his days on the road travelling all over the state of Oklahoma. We are the proud parents of our adorable 2 year old, Caroline and precious baby Benjamin. There is very little sleeping going on at our house. I am a music lover and a wannabe crafter. I am very good at following directions but not so great at creating my own masterpieces. I was a math teacher for 6 years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. Before being a teacher, I worked in the actuarial field, which is what I am doing part-time now. As a family we work hard to live a simple life, create great memories, and love the Lord with all our heart. I am so excited to be sharing my family with all of you and connecting with other local moms!
