This morning I went to my first breastfeeding class at Happy Girls Bras and Breastfeeding! This is a store that just opened up in Greenville that I referred to in a previous post when I won the gift bag with the nursing bras and camis! Sophie, a retired lactation consult from Vidant Health, opened up this shop and is holding free breastfeeding classes and support groups for expecting and new moms. My friend Jessica Webb invited me to go today and I am so glad that she did! We got to enjoy Sophie all to ourselves and went through everything related to breastfeeding. We learned alot and got all of our questions answered. Sophie really got us excited about making our breastfeeding goals atainable and we had a great morning together! Luckily, Dee will be able to get me a breast pump from work, and Sophie said when I get it that I can bring it in and she will help me get it all set up and teach me exactly how to use it. It really is great to have such good support seeing as so many women say that breastfeeding is one of the hardest things that they have ever done. I look forward to taking it on myself and knowing that I have so much help will make it that much easier!
Here is a picture of us earlier today! From left to right: me, Sophie - the owner of Happy Girls, and Jessica Webb on the right
After the breastfeeding class Dee and I decided to start looking at baby goodies to register for in the next coming weeks! We had to get a picture because we parked in the "Expectant Mothers" spot at Babie's R' Us! While I may not need to park close because of my size,
it still brought a smile to our face that we could! : )
