No More Milk

So this is totally random and if you are a guy reading this you might want to stop reading here, but I had a very momumental moment for me a few weeks ago. My milk supply had started to dwindle over time. My mom said how hard it would be when I feed Tyler my milk for the last time. Breastfeeding is such a wonderful bond and that part of motherhood will be greatly missed, but it was time. Fortunately, I slowly decreased the amount he was getting because it was going away anyway, so it was not a shocker when I stopped. One day I finally decided that I would feed him and then if I felt full at all within the next dew days, I would feed him again. If I did not feel full, then that would be the last time. I prepared myself either way. I did not fill up again, but I think I was ready for it, so it did not seem as difficult as I thought it was going to be. There are so many other ways to bond with Tyler so I just focused on that. It is amazing how much you work your life around nursing when you are doing it. Now, I am not having to schedule everything around feeding time and make sure I am in a place I am comfortable nursing in. It is a weird feeling for sure. I felt that 9 months was pretty good considering I was doing the whole pumping at work thing. Monday, August 11th, 2008 was my last day...
