No more night night


Well, I just packed up all of the bottles to put downstairs in the storage room. I can honestly say I dont think Sawyer will miss them. He hasnt had a bottle since we got home from vacation and I think we are done nursing now too. I havent nursed him since before we left for Mexico- I dont think my milk is completly dried up but if I dont wean now Im not sure I ever will.... it seems to be the easiest way and I dont want to be one of those crazy ladies nursing a 5 year old :) I told Sawyer that "night night" was all gone- it stayed in Cancun. Lucky night night what a great place to live! He has been doing so much better than I thought he would though- he goes to sleep at night all on his own without nursing which is actually really nice for me- we just read a few books and then he lays down and listens to music. It makes me sad though- it seems like he grew up so fast! Now he is running all over the place like a big kid- and big kid who dosent even nurse anymore! I actually think I am going to miss nursing him- we had a great experience with it. Time just seems to fly! The only downside- I havent had a period in 2 years- I can honestly say I havent missed it at all and Im not really looking forward to having it again... I have heard it can take up to three months to return after you stop breast feeding- im really hoping that is the case for me.

  1. yeahhhh, about that whole period thing. I guess it reminds us that we can still have babies. even though we don't have 'babies' anymore someday we'll have others :) hehe

  4. Whew thanks for the period comment. I'm nursing and on a birth control and so I was told I might not have a period. I was getting nervous though, when I moved and lost my pills and thought that maybe I should have started...anyway that's good to know that you didn't have one at all during the whole nursing time! I'm excited for my 6 more months of freedom from that!
