Breastfeeding blessings

If you have ever breastfed a baby, you'll probably get what I am going to say. There is just something, especially after a 4-5 hour break, about putting a little human being onto your breast as their mouth is hungrily searching for you and having them begin drinking in the nourishment that keeps them alive. Every night at D.'s twilight feeding I experience this protective feeling and a sense of wonder that my body can sustain a baby, not just in utero but "out" utero too. Makes me really thankful that I got to experience it once again.
