I Need Your Prayers
Today is the day that I wean my little Joey. :-( And I'm dreading it. He had his last nursing at 6:00 this morning, had a little nap, and now he just started crying - probably because he's hungry. So, here we go... I'm finally ready to give up. The medication I take so I will have enough milk gives me headaches and I'm just done with that! So, please pray that he will be willing to take a bottle without too much struggle and that I will be strong emotionally. I've cried my tears about having to quit. I love nursing my little guy and I wish we could keep on for a long time. But, God hasn't answered my prayer that way, so we'll move on. Sigh!

I'm praying...and crying. :( So sorry!
we're in the same boat this week jenni, I just finished nursing Emma this week. I don't think doing this on vacation would be good or easy but it hasn't been bad. Alot of distractions for both of us and she hasn't even asked for it, so that is good. She's even gone to bed fine and is sleeping through the night PTL!!! after a whole year.
Thinking of you.
Maybe I'll stop in one day :)

Even though I can't relate to your situation, I hope the transition is a smooth one!
And in case you don't see my comment on Rachel's site, I'm wondering why we need therapy??
Because of your attachment to your t-shirts. :-)
just tell him if he doesn't take his bottle, mean aunt Rachel is going to come give him another black eye! Ohhh my, I can't believe I even typed that! I miss that little guy so much! And all of you guys! Hope things go much better than expected! = P
Hey Jenni Hope the transition goes well for you and Josiah. Here's my confession for your other post - I washed my kitchen and dining room floors yesterday...and I can't remember when the time before that was!!! Yeah, it needed to be done.
Hi Jenni,
I feel for you! I'm starting to think about weaning Isaiah in the not too distant future. In the past when I've thought about it I didn't think it would be that hard, but now that the time is getting closer I get sad thinking about it. I guess it's hard because weaning is one of those awful steps we have to take to let our children grow up. Oh boy, I think I'm going to cry.
Sabrina, just curious... Why are you thinking of weaning now?
I don't know if you'll read this or not. For a few days Isaiah just didn't seem very interested and I was afraid he wasn't getting enough of the nutrients that he needs from breast milk or formula. He had his nine month check up the other day and the Doc said he's fine so that made me relax. I never thought about how hard it would be emotionally to wean a baby until I started reading your post. :( I'm glad things are going well for you!
