Can you hear him? Daniel is talking…he’s saying

da…da…da…da…da…da

How exciting!!

I *know* what doctor’s say, I *know* you should nurse for at least a year, I’m NOT looking for a debate, I’m NOT looking for people to judge me.

It’s time for us to start the weaning process, for many reasons…The boys are 8 months, I’m going to be getting a job, I don’t have a pump and am not going to go out to buy one now, Daniel and Andrew are distracted when they nurse (and my nipples are always sore from it), and many selfish reasons too! I plan on doing this slowly, not just cold turkey (well, at least not right now). I’m proud of myself for making it this far! I mean, I never thought I could go this long with twins!!

Yesterday, I nursed them 3 times…once in the morning, once around noon, and once before bed. Of course I nursed them (well at least Andrew) in the middle of the night. So far today, we nursed when we got up. I’m really feeling it, I don’t think Daniel and Andrew really care since they’ve always had a supplement of formula throughout their life, so it’s not a huge issue with them…more so with me being sore!

I can remember going through this around 7 months with Noah…I went painful hours without him nursing and couldn’t take it anymore…I let him nurse 1 last time (to relieve the pressure) and that was it! We’ll see how things go with the slow wean…if I don’t get where I need to be, then it’s cold turkey for me again!

I feel…: accomplished
I’m listening to…: Martha

Wow, I was getting the boys ready to go to the dr’s office today to get their weight checked and I turned around and Andrew was half on the couch and half off! I go running over there and catch him before he falls onto the floor!! Phew!!

I feel…: calm
