Over the last week or so, DS has not been consistently wanting his morning nursing session anymore (which was the last one). And when he did nurse, it was only for a few seconds and he was off and running. Today was the 3rd day he didn't ask for it, so I think we are officially done.
I am somewhat excited because I can eat whatever I want again now (with nut allergies in the family, I was told to not eat them while BFing). Just scheduled a date to hit up Five Guys Burgers and Fries in a couple weeks.
But it is also a little sad. I was so ready to be done at night (which happened in mid-Dec), but I would have gone longer for that morning time. At least before DS was done BFing, DH and I pretty much decided we will try for #3 later this year, so I'm probably not done forever. That will be harder, I think. And DS did go for a month longer than DD did.
So I feel good about it overall. Just needed to share with people who might care/understand more than my FB friends.

Re: Weaned
FREEDOM!
I understand the mixed feelings! DD is still going pretty strong ... 3/day on weekdays/workdays and about 4/day on weekends. I'd like to cut out her daytime sessions and just do morning and bedtime, but we'll see. Sadly, she may be my only child so I'm not in a huge rush to wean her completly.
Congrats!

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
Definitely bittersweet.
