After 2 years, 4 months, 1 week, and 3 days G4 will no longer be nursing. I nursed her one last time this evening before bed. Before I told her that this would be the last time. She was goofy the entire time. Afterwards she said "No more nursey-nurse." I told that was right. I am sure she will fight me on this for a few days, but it is time.
My first goal with her was to make it to a year. When a year got here I changed the goal to 18 months. That came and went. Then the goal was 2 years. When she turned 2 we were going to be done, but neither her or I was ready. So for the last 4+ months we have gradually been working on weaning.
I am a little sad, but I am completely ready to be done. I am ready to have my body back to myself after sharing it with at least one child pretty much constantly for the last almost 6 years.
It is hard to believe that we no longer have a child in the "baby stage" anymore. I am looking forward to the next stages of life, but I am still very sad.
Those milestones can be bitter sweet, especially for the moms.
