No more boo boo's for baby.👎

The time has come.

I knew 14 months ago that my day would come, the day I would have to give up nursing my sweet Sawyer, the day our special bond would come to a hawlt. Although the deep sadness I feel within will eventually leave, I hope the bond and memories I have of giving my Sawyer what only I can provide will never fade from my memory! 

When this journey began, I could have never imagined the impact that it would have on me, I could have never imagined how I would feel when my baby needed what only I could provide, And I could have never imagined the amount of chores I could do all while having a small infant attached to my breast! Choosing to nurse my first born has been by far the biggest learning experience as a mother I have dealt with but by far the most rewarding also! When I was pregnant I used to try and imagine how it would be or how bad it would hurt being that the pain is vertually all people seem to want to talk about! And yes people, it is painful BUT the pain goes away and delivers the biggest reward you can imagine! At this point all I can say is THANK GOD I didn't allow all the negative ideas on breastfeeding to steer away my decision! I prepared myself for the worst and believe me, it's a good thing, because at the time when hormones are OUT OF CONTROL that's just what it is, the worst! That first few days I remember being sooo tired and sooo sore, I felt as if I was being torchered every time Sawyer was hungry! That may sound bad of me to say but it's the truth! When you are still in the hospital and tired from no sleep and hello just had a 6 lb 14 oz small child come out of your vajaja and low and behold that beautiful small child is crying for you to nurse and you have 6 visitors all while having cracked and bleeding nips!😳 um yea it's no walk in the park! But I assure you IF you can get through it, and you can! Because after all, I did! It will be one of the most rewarding mommy chores you will experience!! 

All good things must come to an end as they say, and so it has. I suppose I will look at this as a small 6 month break till our next sweet baby arrives! Here's to more memories to come! 

Xoxo!
