Man, I suck....

Wow, its been over 2 weeks since I posted........I really am bad at this. Good thing no one reads it!

I was looking at Katherine last night and wondering where the last 9 1/2 months have gone. People tell all the time that children grow up fast, but you know what? They really do! Not that I really want to get up every 2-3 hours to breastfeed or have to carry her around all day because she doesn't want to be put down. But she is growing up, becoming more independent each day, and I am already planning her first birthday party though it is still 2 1/2 months away. Wow.

Speaking of breastfeeding, I am all done with that! I had heard all kinds of sad stories about moms and babies who have these traumatic experiences when weaning. Mine was kinda easy actually--Katherine weaned herself. About 2 weeks ago she became less and less interested in nursing at bedtime and then a few days later, she refused. No more boobie for me, Mom. So we just rocked in the chair, then I put her down in her crib. She cried when I left the room each night since she wasn't being nursed to sleep but after a week, she now goes down without a fuss.

WOO HOO!!! I'm free! I attended two parties over the weekend and didn't have to worry one bit about how much I was drinking! Not that I was worrying about it much anyway, really. And even better is NO MORE PUMPING!!!! I continued to pump for about a week after she gave up the boob, but it has been 5 days since the last pump. Surprisingly I have had very little discomfort during this "dry-up" phase. Maybe by the end of the week I'll get a better idea of what bra size I'll end up with.....will it be the pre-pregnancy 36A? Will I get to keep my 38B? Or maybe a happy medium with 36B? Place your bets now.
