It has been something close to two weeks since Lea last nursed. Wow. I was ready for this, but now that it's come and passed, I just hope that I went about it the right way and that the few times I changed the subject during her requests haven't hurt her in any way. In any case, I did the best that I could with this transition. I can at least say that.
I am taking a minority group relations class and a business management class this semester. I am happy to be going to school and grateful for the GI Bill and all that it has offered me and my family but I am getting a little burnt out. I was going to take a break but then checked out my degree audit and saw how far I have to go before I get my degree. It'll be about a year and a half at this point and rate, and I just couldn't justify a break now when I am pretty sure I will need one semester off in a big way when the baby comes.
I have been looking for a new couch for a while. I love the one we have but it's over 10 years old, has been with me through 5 moves and it's a little worse for the wear. Granted it's leather and the worn look is charming but I still have been looking. Well, I think I found the replacement. A new mall just opened on Ramstein AFB and I fell in love with an Italian leather set-- by far the most COMFORTABLE thing I have ever set my toosh in. So I am ordering it today :) The very best part? I talked Miles into ditching the huge unsightly microfiber bean bag chair. WHOO! As far as bean bag chairs go, it's about as nice as they come and yes it does match the living room, but it's a freaking bean bag chair! And my living room is neither a "man room" nor a college dorm. He's been pretty protective of the chair for a while but there's only so much a girl can take (insert evil laugh here).
very happy to hear that weaning was easy on both of you. i'm hoping to do the same in a few months.
ReplyDeletetalking about the new couch made me drool a little bit... we haven't had a couch in 2 years.. (blush) my booty is jealous, to say the least. good luck getting rid of the beanbag chair! :)
YaY!! Congrats on weaning! I am sure that you did exactly what you were supposed to do in this situation and that by the time baby comes she will be facinated watching you feed the baby and not be interested in nursing at all. (Friend just had to do the same with her toddler and 3 months later baby came along, toddler doesn't even remember what the boob does, LOL)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the bachelor pad addiction that most men have. They want to have that one manly thing in their space, and it just so happens to be your space too! We solved that problem with an office that doubles as a man room. (in the basement luckely!)
Oh and yes, Hannah has every grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, oh and daddy and mommy, eating out of her hand! LOL.
Miles would be totally content with fold up chairs and a card table for living room furniture (those were his words). When he picks out furniture, it is startlingly masculine. . . so I am glad he leaves me to it.
