Kellan Means Warrior Princess

My screenname is Kellan. The reason I chose it is because it means 'warrior princess' and puts me in the mind of Xena: Warrior Princess, who I looked up to as a teenage girl. As of the time of this post, I am 27 years old, and have two wonderful kids.

Ducky is the first and a boy. He was born nearly 4 years ago, the day before Leap Year. I breastfed him for a month, but pain forced me to stop - it wasn't the normal soreness, but something much worse for me and my milk supply. My favorite nickname for him was Ducky Dubs, but I didn't actually call him that much. He has a different nickname that stuck and fits him so much better. I use "had" because he is currently residing with his paternal grandparents. Don't ask - it's a subject I won't be talking about much in detail online.

Lollipop (Lolly) is my little girl, born June 2nd, 2011. She, too, has other nicknames, but I think this one fits her best. Breastfeeding is a hard road to follow with her, and is filled with learning experiences that challenge everything known about nursing a baby! She's growing and learning about her world, holding her head up well, and is in the final transitioning stages (I hope!) of switching her sleep pattern. She's been transitioning since she was a month and a half old, so we shall see.

These two are my number one priority. They both are first in my heart. I wondered how it would be possible to love more than one child with my entire being. Now I know. It just happens.
