I've been very lucky and had an easy ride in general, but you know, - honestly, in this climate/culture/society, even with so many things in my favour (i.e. VERY supportive DH, iron nipples, hungry determined baby), it isn't easy is it?
I'm feeling a bit emotional today for having 'made it', particularly because despite having found it hard I well know that many many people have difficulties I could only imagine and they persist and persist and persist, perhaps not getting to six months, but pushing and pushing to go for as long as they can and I truly take my hat off to them.
Well done to me, but more importanly, well done to all of you for however long you have managed.
