The G wins her first race

RG has been preparing for her first race since she was a zygote. In utero she logged about 700 miles . Post-utero she has logged a little over 600 miles. Her goal race was the Kissena Park fun run. As you see in the picture she was off to a slow start but being the experienced runner she knew to pace herself. Her sprint in the last 5 yards gave her the win and the medal you see around her neck. She was a gracious winner and shook all the other participants hands as they crossed the finish after her. Pure class. Special thanks to Jared her professional photographer. (she hardly goes anywhere with out him) and her Manager LuAnn. Sorry for the short post but I am fielding calls from Nike, Reebok and Adidas for her.

Confessions and gifts

Sorry have not blogged in a while. I had last week off from work and what a week. I loved being with Rory round the clock. Now for my confession. Oh and if you are a guy on my running team and don't want to hear about my breasts/ nipples or Breastfeeding . Stop reading now. Alan !!!! Hans !!! why are you still reading ;) Ok so my confession is I have used a nip guard to breastfeed since week 2. I could type a million excuses as to why but I won't. I felt really guilty about it , so guilty that I was scared to meet other Breastfeeding moms and have them say , that is not right. Or that i could do it if I worked at it. So now for the gift part. This week off I vowed to only BF Rory , no bottles. On thurday as I was BFing and talking to Marc I felt a different sesation. I look down ROry is holding the nip gaurd in her hand and latched on to my bare ta ta ! I thought this is not going to last but it did the whole feeding. Next feeding(other breast) she did the samething and the rest of the week we did it bare breast. I was so happy. Now I am back at work so I might have to go back to the nip guard but what a great couple of days.

On a sidenote: Why do moms feel so guilty ? and I think I am safe to say ALL moms. Wether you work or stay at home , breast or formula feed.
