Confession time: (don't you love it when a post starts like this?) I have not worn a real bra in over two years. Yup...Two. Years. I got used to wearing stretchy nursing bras and sports-bra like bras when I was exclusively pumping for Harper because they held my pumping parts in place (I was able to pump hands-free) and are so comfortable.

Lincoln Grey- One Year Update!
We can’t quite believe that our sweet Lincoln Grey is ONE! It went by in a flash and it's still hard to believe my baby is growing into a toddler.

Nursing & Pumping Favorites
Over the past couple of months, I've learned that the saying "every baby is different" couldn't be more true. I struggled a lot to nurse Harper and ultimately it was the best decision for us both for me to exclusively pump.
