Bedtime, but good day

I need to be running to bed before I have to be up again feeding.
Yep!
I'm back to breastfeeding me baby!
If you have been reading I started out loving it, then got sore, then had raw and bleeding nipples (yeah, what a dream) then I took a 4 day break and was pumping and feeding her formula.
Now, I am feeding with no, or very little pain!!
I don't know why I feel like this is such a accomplishment but for me and her it is!! The moment when I realized today that I was going to be fine breastfeeding I felt this hate lifted. maybe not a hate...but I didn't cringe thinking about her wanted to feed again. I felt more love for my daughter and actually really look forward to our feedings.
After my meltdown monday night I called my mom and while I was on the stairs bawling my eyes out, Joe was holding Brinley feeding her a bottle and trying to take a practice test for his series 7. I just knew I need her help again, so she "oh so kindly" drove right back up to utah the next day (yep, 10 hours!) and she has been helping me out a TON!!!! She has helped me not feel overwhelm.
We have decided with Joe at work from 7am to 9pm until he takes his test for work on July 7 &16th I would go back to California with my mom next week so he could get some good studying down and sleep to pass his test and my mom can still help me so I don't have another meltdown.
If Joe doesn't pass this test his job is in jeopardy, so I want him to have all the focus he needs the next few weeks!
P.s. Have I told you how good of a baby I have!!! I love her to pieces!!!
