Parting is such sweet sorrow...and it kinda hurts too. Yikes!

So last night was the 1st time the LO did not need to be nursed to sleep!!!!! Oh my I am so happy! Why might you ask? Because this is the month that I said I was going to ween from breast feeding. After all the horrible stories I've heard about how hard it is, or how much it's going to hurt I've kind of been dreading this day. But what I've come to realize throughout everything is that everybody is NOT the same. What I experience as a mom you may never. Motherhood is probably about 40% read and taught and the other 60% comes from self.
On the 15th my bambino will be 6 months and I'm so proud to have been able to breast feed for this time. It's giving us a bond that's beyond describing. A bond that will forever be cherished. I like to think it was I who has made him this strong and healthy baby thus far. It's a bitter sweet moment for me, but I'm sure the transition for him will be smooth and easy. **crossing fingers**
Now for me on the other hand is another story, but I will manage. :)
As I watch my son slowly drift in and out after being nursed to sleep I smile. This moment I treasure forever.
