This is the reason I haven't blogged in 5 months!!! She has taken over my life. And I have allowed it bcecause I thought I was doing the right thing. Nursing every time she wants it, holding her while she naps, sleeping with her in the crook of my arm. Well no more folks! Today is the first day of the rest of my life after babies. My boobs are ROCK hard, but I am full of resolve and determined not to nurse her anymore. She will be 1 in two weeks, and ready for milk in a cup. I am convinced this is the answer to our sleeping problems and my lack of motivations. Maybe I will start feeling good about myself again. Like I am a real person. And not a zombie. Maybe life won't seem so hard all the time. Overwhelming. Maybe I can go back to my own interests and hobbies a little. (Like this blog, etc.) Maybe accomplish some goals. I am nervous that this will all back fire and that is why I write "MAYBE". Daniel is going to take over with her for the next three days, Love that guy, and hopefully by Tuesday the worst will be over and it will be smooth sailing.
Anyhow, glad to be back to you all. Well, the three of you that ask me to update my blog. Love you!

You're free!!! Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you guys. She is a doll. I would have a hard time not letting her get her way, too!
I'm pretty bad at my blog lately. Don't feel bad.
Woohooo! You can do it! (And she will be fine, too) And even though I don't blog anymore, I'm excited that you are!
they are only babies for such a short time, I still mourn my cuddle time with Milo a little, but it is also so wonderful to have my boobs to myself. I have so much more energy. She is adorable by the way.
I was so excited to see an upate! Is she really that close to a year! Wow! Girl, I hope you are surviving the engorgement! I took some motrin to help when I went through that. Didn't try Benadryl, but I heard that helps, too. I hope this change gives you the results you are looking for. I stopped nursing about five months ago, and I'm actually more in a slump. I think it's more just the winter mixed with all the medical circumstances we've had though. I have tons of frozen breast milk still, and when I was thawing it out, I had a flashback to the nursing days, and I remembered how much MORE anxious I was. It was weird, because I think I'm so anxious now! I remembered how exhausting it all was with the pumping and nursing and I was so relieved that I am here now, and not there. So I do hope you get that relief soon!
Hope all goes well Juli! Miss you!
Pump - pump - pump it up! lol. Good luck Jules, and DAN, and La-La!!
