FREEDOM!

William Wallace shouted, "Freedom!" on the battlefield when he was fighting Edward I of England for Scottish Independence in the movie Braveheart. I am not Mel Gibson, and I would not get paid millions of dollars to yell this phrase, but I almost shouted, "Freedom!" with the same fervor in the aisles of Walmart while shopping for snacks for Bible Study. You see, for the first time I was able to leave my apartment without Jim-Jim, and I didn't have to worry about what time I had to return home. On the only other occasion when I left Jim-Jim at home with his daddy, I had to return home within an hour and a half because I was carrying the only source of milk on my chest. This time limit shackled me to my apartment on numerous occasions. Thanks to Medela and their wonderful breast pump, I was able to stock up a hefty supply of breast milk in the freezer and effectively remove the shackles off my chest. This newfound freedom brought such a wave of emotion that I would have yelled in the condiment aisle of Walmart had I not been worried about getting thrown out and cutting my cherished excursion short. Thank you Medela for freeing me!
