Finally saying Goodbye to breast feeding

wow.... time has finally come to say good bye to breast feeding. Oral surgery, taking antibiotics and pain meds was the perfect scapegoat to finally pull the plug. MY boobs are SORE! I want so bad to go pump if i have to! But am just going to let my body do its job. My son is 2 1/2 so we went a LOT longer than I ever imagined doing. We both miss it. The first few days was heartbreaking!! HE would beg and cry and beg more... "mommy just the little one? I forgot to say please" OMG it killed me. He still asks ALL the time...but has settled in with just snuggling to sleep in his normal position in my arms.

I'm sad. This is the last time I will ever share this miracle of BF. He is the last baby we will have...so its weird to say good bye to that. I can say I am so thankful for the time I had with him and our journey. It was so much more natural and bonding with him vs' with my first. As a mother, I am so proud of BF! I am so beyond thankful for this board and the courage to continue and push past social norm and BF a little longer with a todler.  I can tell you that I know that the bonding we have will and has made a difference in who he is and will be. I know that he was NEVER sickly compared to classmates that were not BF and the quiet time with me has created a softness to him. 

I'm just spinning now..lol.. I guess...the fact im actually putting this in writing is sealing the deal. so... ta ta for now ... XOOX and thank you all on this board for the amazing journey.

Love always. Heather.
