And that's because Lincoln is weaned! So really, what would I post a photo of? Him fussing in the morning because he wants to nurse?
I had already cut down from four nursings to two nursings a day by the middle of February. Then the last week or so of February I was just nursing him in the morning; or rather, I nursed him for the last time on February 28, and he had a bottle in the morning for two days after that. And then no more! George said he was fine with it. Of course, when I got up with him this last Saturday and Sunday, he got upset because he wasn't nursing on me, but hopefully that won't last long.
I stopped pumping in the morning last week and was in SEVERE pain most of the week. YOW. I'd cut down nursing so much that I thought I wouldn't get engorged, but boy was I WRONG! I couldn't lift my arms or turn without screaming in pain, so obviously working out was out. And every time I picked Lincoln up I had to clamp my mouth shut so I wouldn't yell.
But now things are much better, and my boy is no longer much of a baby! Makes me sad, really. I nursed for 13 months, and it's suddenly no longer part of my life. But it is very nice to be able to be out without rushing home to nurse!

ooohhhhh... man, that sounds like it was rough. that's awesome that you nursed for over a year! My goal is to make it to a year... but as that gets closer, it makes me realize that it will be hard to take it away :) do you still give Lincoln any bottles, or is he off those too? it's so scary how fast they grow up!!!
It is a bittersweet milestone isn't it?
