Liam,
We are now down to just nursing in the morning and evening. On weekdays (starting today), I nurse you on one side in the morning, and then I pump the other side when I get to work. Then in the evenings, I nurse you on one side, and pump the other side before I go to bed. On the weekends, I nurse you mid-morning too, rather than pumping. You seem to be dealing very well with weaning. I'm hoping that I can continue like this for awhile, but there's just no guarantee that my milk won't dry up quickly with such a reduced schedule. (Up until this week, I was pumping one side mid-afternoon at work, or nursing mid-afternoon on the weekends.)
I feel like weaning you will be the end of your time as a baby, and so this makes me very sad. I feel like it will also be the end of you really needing me. Obviously, deep down, I know that this isn't really true, but right now it feels like it is. I love you so much, and I have enjoyed our nursing time together and am sad to see it draw to a close. I'm so proud of myself for making it over a year, and I know I've given you the best possible start in life. I love you.
Mommy
