operation booby drop

January 11, 2006

in breastfeeding

With apologies to SJ.
My boobies? They, actually have already dropped. Eight years straight of breastfeeding will do that. Shane has sympathy now though because, apparently, gwyneth paltrow wants a boob job now because of breastfeeding apple. Ha! If it's good enough for her, then hell ya! I get new boobs too!
But, i have been slowly weaning parker. He's hands-free all day – has been for quite some time. It's the nights. It's not really sleeping when he wakes me every hour is it? I'll just call it night-time cause it sure ain't sleep time. Anyway, when he wakes up i tell him "okay parker but just one minute." He says; "okay mommy, just one minute." And? It's actually working! One minute 47 times a night. Or thereabouts.
And tonight? Tonight i left before bedtime, the only more than a minute portion of the evening. When i came home he was asleep and then? Awake! I ran upstairs and lifted up my shirt at the ready and he said "i want some water." And i gave him some, out of his new elmo straw juice box thingy. But, that's not the best part.
The best part? He went right back to sleep. No booby!
Thank you very much.

Congrats! I am the mom of 4 children as well. Two boys, 10 and 7 and two girls 4 and 1. My older three were born at the biginning, middle and end of January :o) I’m nusing Sammy still, will probably be for a long time to come. You are inspiring to me. You seem to do this very hard job very well.
