No more boobies...

I forget if I posted this or not, but Gabriella is done breastfeeding. SHe weaned herself, and fast too. She discovered that with her bottle she can keep it in her mouth and whip her head around and check out what is going on in the room. SHe can lay on the floor by herself with it and chill out. So she was getting really frustrated on the boob, cause everytime she whipped her head around either I would yelp in pain, or she would lose her 'food' and yelp at me. So she just started nursing less and less, I wouldn't offer a bottle, just figured she would eat when hungry. But she won, and I am okay with that. I was very sad about it, but it has been 2 weeks since our last nursing section, and although I have one swollen sore boob and one that has almost disappeared, I am happy to have my freedom back. Be able to go and do whatever and she can feed herself, or I can leave her behind with ease. No more boobies. I get misty though when I stop and think, that was the last time I will ever nurse a baby again.
