Today was a day of firsts. I pumped for the first time after this pregnancy,
went for my first post baby run (with all 3 kids),
and Miles took his first bottle.
While these may not seem like huge achievements, they're big for me. After pumping the entire first year with Owen, I wanted nothing to do with the pump and bottles once Joe came along. I was nervous that if I introduced bottles to him he wouldn't want to nurse again and I would be stuck pumping, so I waited and waited. I waited too long and he never took the bottle. I nursed him exclusively the entire first year. Not that big of a deal, but it would've been nice to have someone else give him a bottle every now and then.
This time around I'm trying to make sure I introduce the bottles right away so he'll take them if we need him to. I love nursing and plan on doing that primarily, but it will be nice to know I have the option for bottles there. Thankfully he took the first one like a champ. :)
