Personality DNA
This is pretty cool, apparently I am a faithful idealist:
As an IDEALIST, you are distinctive for your integration of confidence, imagination, willingness to explore, and desire for competence over style.
You have a strong capacity to comprehend the inner workings of things, finding new ideas and innovative insights to feed your curious nature.
You are quite comfortable in the realm of abstract thought. You don't need a practical solution to every one of life's questions.
You are comfortable with the decisions you make in life. You don't need to second-guess yourself, or seek a lot of opinions before you make up your mind.
You enjoy the routines that you have created in your life, and don't feel the need to shake things up just for the sake of change.
You generally succeed at what you do, and others would describe you as successful.
It is important to you that products be efficient – looking good has to come second to working well.
You aren't the kind of person who needs to collect stylish items in an attempt to create an attractive environment – you know that what matters most is function, not style.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
You much prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute. Your decisions are well thought out, and you're not the least bit impulsive.
You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
If you want to be different:
You take time to explore your own thoughts and ideas, but this experience would only be heightened if you opened yourself up even more to others' ideas.
Your faith in yourself and your lifestyle is well-founded, but the occasional foray into the unknown might broaden your perspective and help you see things differently.

I love breastfeeding
As if you couldn't tell from previous posts. :P But I do, I really do. I did eventually sometimes get a little weary of nursing my son, but I found ways to make it so that I could continue to nurse him, like cutting back and nightweaning. Nursikng him when I was pregnant was hardest, the sore nipples, the skin-crawling feeling--I did come close to weaning him at times then, but he still needed it. And now he's done! I think part of it all for me is that I really love nursing a baby and when they get to one I can't imagine weaning them! So I kept going with my son and I'll keep going with my daughter. I'm in this for the long haul. I have to laugh at women who say they want to get their bodies back. I don't think my body will ever really be back--my babies have taken my heart.
