Let the weaning begin...

I got news yesterday morning that I've been fully accepted into the PSW program that I applied for. My first day is in a little over a month. I have soooo many emotions.
 
I mean, my first thoughts were beaming smiles but the thoughts that followed were like a deer in headlights.
 
I've got so much to do to prepare myself and my family.
 
And when i say family? I mean James. And i mean weaning.
 
In all honesty, I feel so honored and privileged to have strictly breastfed for 15 months but... i need my body back now. Its been a while since its been all mine. Maybe I'm being greedy to some but ive met my personal goal. Which was at least a year. Im actually proud of us and that's what is important.
I know he could do it for a lot longer...maybe even until he was two. But i cant. He still doesnt sleep through the night and im starting full time school soon....in another city.
 
 
Our journey with breastfeeding is ending.
 
 
The memories and precious moments we've shared will be treasured for the rest of my life.
Ive gotten him down to just feeding for his nap and bedtime and the occasional little feed during the day....oh and obviously through the night whenever he wakes up. Which could be 1-2 times a night.
So he still nurses a lot. Ha.
 
First stop on the weaning train? ....

Middle of The Night Milkies = GONE
 
Lord help me.
