fastforward to two nights ago and she didn't sign for milk before she went to sleep. it's been two full days of no nursing and i guess i can say that at 15 1/2 months she has decided to stop. although i am ready to have my body back to myself, i was hoping we could make it to at least 18 months before stopping. i must admit that my heart hurts a little knowing this special relationship is over and that i will never have that again with her in her life. it's a little sad.
we stopped nursing not because i didn't want to anymore or because she hit the 12 month mark, but because she was ready to. she decided she didn't need me anymore. we took it slow and i didn't have to have boobies that hurt at all because they were still engorged with milk. my milk simply ran out, naturally. i believe this was the best way for our family. and why wouldn't you want to give your child the best kind of nutrition as long as you possibly could? it only makes sense.
but, i guess our time has ended.
i'm so sorry pipi girl that mommy doesn't have anymore milk for you. i can't believe that we are already at this stage in your life. it went by way too fast, but i know we have all kinds of new adventures ahead for us and i love you so very much.
