Bitter Sweet

So as most of you know, Braylon is now in his bed full time. And he is no longer nursing. Well, this evening as I am siting here on the couch zoning out (daddy is working overtime) I keep thinking how much I want to cuddle with my baby. He is upstairs out in his bed. And all I want to do is to take him out and cuddle with him in my bed. Sometimes you just want to snuggle with your baby. I only get to rock him for so long before I have to put him in his bed. I love all of the sleep I am getting but I miss the snuggles.

What I do not miss... nursing. I love that I almost made it 18 months. I love that he has only had a cold and teething fevers. No ear aches or fever or anything. I love that I gave him an rocking immune system, especially since he was a preemie. But I am glad to be done. I am happy to be able to wear regular bras. I am happy that I have lost a tab bit more weight.

While at times I may have mixed feeling on both co-sleeping and extended breastfeeding, I will give every child I have those same experiences.
