We Are Officially Done...


Breastfeeding. Griff has been over it for about a month now but I have continually forced it on him because I love it and I didn't want to stop! So, for the past few weeks he has been nursing about twice a day but now, not at all! It has been 2 full days with no nursing. One boob is over it and ready to move on but the other boob still wants to make milk. So I have one C cup boob and one B cup boob! Fun! I am sure that as time goes on that one boob will figure it out :)I am a little bummed about not breastfeeding anymore but Griff is a big boy now and he just doesn't want it! Breastfeeding has been great though! It has saved us a TON of money on formula, it has helped me lose my pregnancy weight (and then some) and has kept aunt flo at bay for almost 20 months and counting! Nice! Anyway, I am sad but it's time to move on to other things! He loves bottles and loves formula and he eats baby food three times a day so he is all good.

I cant stop laughing! Aunt Flo and Cousin tammy Remember that??? ha ha. Anyway, did you only breast feed for all those months? no formula at all? How many times a day did you have to do it a day? I feed 3 times a day and the rest formula. Lilly does terrible with formula but so good with my milk, I just don't have the time to do it for every feeding. Any helpful suggestions?

You'll probably have a better chance at getting pregnant now... but don't be surprised if it still takes a while. I didn't have another period for 2 months AFTER I stopped nursing. And it took my boobs forever to stop being engorged (don't pump because it will just take longer for them stop producing milk)... and then they deflated BIG time! haha... SO fun!
