Growing Up

Well, I think Brianna is officially weaned. She has not nursed since Saturday and seems okay with it as long as Daddy gets her up. It went a lot easier than I thought it would. The doctor and every book/web article I have read recommended starting with the morning feeding. Of course, my little girl has to be different. She very easily stopped nursing at night and would even follow me when she saw me getting her cup of milk ready. The morning was a different story. As soon as she got into bed with me all she wanted to do was nurse. Now, Daddy gets her up with a cup of milk and holds her for a little bit then she comes into our bedroom where I usually can be found at 6:30 in the morning. I am sad...I miss our special cuddle time, but it is nice to have my body back to myself. Unfortunately, my body has not recognized she no longer needs my milk...leaving me a little uncomfortable!
