Well, it is official, Silas is weaned now! If you had asked me a year ago I would have said I would be rejoicing. It was not easy in the beginning- I endured a lot of pain, bloodshed, having to pump, and of course the normal not being able to be apart from your child any longer than 2 and half or 3 hours. But then it got better- easier, Silas wasn't nursing as much, and I really enjoyed my special times with him. I looked forward to seeing him in the morning and the little smiles he would give me and the way he would look up at me and start talking between gulps... So even though I am happy for my freedom and the fact that JP and I can finally go on an overnight date!! I miss my special times with my boy. I know that we will bond in other ways, but it is just a tangible reminder that he is going to grow up.
Just a side note- although nursing was very difficult, I would do it all over again. Aside from the obvious that it saved a lot of money, was better for Silas' health and mine... It was the special bond with Silas that will make me do it again. ( But, if there are any soon to be 1st time moms reading this- you should be aware of the reality that few choose to tell you - It hurts at first, it is incovenient, very time consuming, and for the 1st few months it seems like it is all that you do).
Oh, and another up note- I can now get so much accomplished in the morning!
