Weaning my Baby

I'm happy and sad all at the same time. It has been 2 complete days since Stella last nursed. Today at nap time she only asked about 5-6 times to nurse and then she just stopped asking and started to settle down and it only took her about 30 mins to fall asleep.
I'm so happy that I finally decided to just do it. It also helped that the first night I wasn't here. I was out for an all-nighter with some friends so that left Andrew on his own without the possibility of giving up.

I'm sad, too. My baby is no longer any hint of baby. She is a little girl now. Full of spice (and sometimes vinegar!!)


I'm glad to finally be getting my body back and to not have to share it with another person. I've been pregnant or nursing for almost 3 years. I'm glad I did it though. I don't think it's something I could ever look back on and say I wish I hadn't done it. I think if I hadn't done it I would have wished that I did. I'm also very proud of myself for pushing through the hard moments and continuing even when I wanted to quit nursing her and just give her a bottle of formula. I'm also so grateful for all my friends that lent their support without judgment or criticism. You know who you are!! Thank You!!
