A lot has happened since my last entry. It seems my life has been on fast forward this year. For starters, let me just say that we have not had any biting problems lately. Now that I've said this it will probably happen today.
I have been at home recovering from surgery. A day of simply not feeling well turned into a night of excruciating pain. I had my appendix taken out early the next morning. The doctors kept me in the hospital for three days after my surgery. I was climbing the walls by the time they let me out of there. Anyway, we made it through it. Trey has had a real hard time understanding why I can't pick him up as much as before.
The toughest part of this entire ordeal for me was the seperation from the kids. The girls understood what was happening. Trey had no idea where his Mommy went, or why I wasn't there to nurse him to sleep anymore. It breaks my heart to wonder what he must have been thinking during this time. Even harder on me is this....we have stopped nursing all together now. I had written before how we were not nursing during the day anymore. Well, this seperation took care of the times we had left. Total in all I was away from Trey for about 5 days. Thats all it took. It makes me so sad to write this.
All in all, he seems to have adjusted fine now. There is no fighting about this with him. He just gets his blanket and his strawberry milk in his sippie cup and goes to sleep. Now, not all nights are so easy. But mostly this is the process. He seems like such a big boy now. I will always be grateful for the closeness that has come to us from nursing. Now, I can only wonder what the future will bring.
I guess this is my last entry in my diary for breastfeed.com. WOW, it seems like I have been doing this for so long. I will truely miss it. I just want to say "Thank you" to all the other writers and readers. It has been wonderful for me to share my experiences with you and to be able to read yours as well. Best wishes to all.
Dawn and Trey
P.S. I think I have cried through this entire entry. I guess I'll miss this more that I realized!
