Moving On

In the last month or so, I've been slowly claiming my body back. I've been pumping less and Wes has been taking more formula. Well, today is the last day I'm pumping. I just packed up the pump parts just a few minutes ago. I never realized how hard it was going to be. I thought before I had him that as soon as he bit me, I was going to stop for sure. Or as soon as he turned 4 months, I wouldn't be able to do it anymore. As you can tell, this hasn't happened yet. I'm still nursing him. Just now at Bedtime and once in the middle of the night. If putting away the pump is hard on me now, it's going to be bad when the nursing ends. It felt like an addiction for pumping. Feeling like I couldn't stop. I was so used to doing it, but at the same time so tired of doing it. I feel like if I stopped, I wouldn't be able to produce any milk at all. Luckily I found, I can still nurse. But I know that has got to stop as well. I don't want him to be calling me in the middle of the night once he knows my name..it will be that much harder on me.

And, at the same time, I want my body back. More later...

6 1/2 months

Wow..it's been a long time since I've written. Well, what's been new? Wes got 2 new teeth on the bottom. Yeah..I think. The boy is just a gnawing machine! He's learning to crawl better and now when I lay down next to him, he's trying to climb on me by using his hands and teeth while grunting! I feel like one of those Lions on the Nature channel with the cub trying to wrestle with me as I lay down all tired. With his new found freedom, Wesley is trying to get into everything that is not his....TV remote, keyboard, my hair..you name it. He's a lot more fun now that he can move, but I'm dreading when he really takes off. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with him. The other day when I thought he might be napping, I heard this weird squeeking noise. I go into his room, and he's in the corner of his crib sitting up and tugging so hard on the mobile it was bending! AHHHHH! I'm not sure where he gets all this activeness..definintely not from Jay! ...ooohhh I'm in for a handful...
