AW: random sharing (done BF)

[nicolewi]

I just want to tell someone. Looks like I have officially weaned DD3 from the night/nap nursing that we were still doing. She turned 2 in January. I never thought I would go this long, but it just happened. I've either been pregnant or breastfeeding for most of the last 9 years! It's awesome and we were more than ready to be done, but still bittersweet, too. I'm having lots of feelings lately on moving out of the baby stage. It's a big change. I am excited to be done nursing but it's weird to close that door forever, you know? Time keeps moving on!

That's awesome work, 2 years is a big accomplishment!

DS weaned just over a year ago, and to be honest, it still kind of feels weird. Like, even though I know he's done, I still can't believe it. I guess because it consumed so much time during the years he was nursing, it's hard to just "not" do it now. Weird, I know - lol.

Congratulations and sympathy. I understand all the big feelings. Dd3 is still nursing and knowing we could be done, done when she quits is strange.

Congrats on being done, but oh yeah, I get the big feelings. DS weaned a year and a half ago, at just over 2.5. After almost 5.5 years of nursing, I was done. But it's a hard door to close. Luckily DS is still the snuggliest. "Poop" and "stupid" are all he ever says anymore, but the snuggles are fantastic.

Gentle mama hugs to you.

Wow, congrats. You should be very proud

Congratulations! I've been BF or pregnant for over five years except three months in the middle. I look forward to the day! But I'll cry a little too.
