While breastfeeding, when did your cycle return?

Did you milk it for all it was worth? (breastfed or pumped)

Not Me! Monday

Not me...no...I did not put Par to bed about 4 times this week in his clothes because he fell asleep...and when he woke up, I did not change his diaper quickly and nurse him back to sleep--again without changing him into pajamas...no...that would be cruel...(ironically, he has been the most well rested child these past four days!)
I did not cram animal crackers into my child's mouth a multitude of times during this Christmas season just to avoid him crying in public (doctor, church, grocery)--and they of course were fresh crackers--not stray ones in the bottom of my purse or hanging out in a cup holder in my car...that would be just gross.

What have you NOT done lately!
Check out mckmama--she's a riot!

Happy 2009!

I'm sure many of you think I have abandoned my blog because I have quit bf my baby...
Well...we are still going strong--14 mos old now, 8 teeth, 3 meals a day, snacks, whole milk in a cup and he still bf quite a bit.
BF a 14 mos old is new territory--he is starting to talk and he is very demanding--so putting him off for a few minutes (like to go to the bathroom or get some water) can cause an absolute meltdown on his end--he wants the mommy milk--AND HE WANTS IT NOW! We've had just a few issues outside our home--one in the grocery store where decided to expose me over and over again while grunting and screaming--classic mom moment. Although I call it Mommy Milk on the blog--we actually call it "mama milk"--I thought that was such a good thing to call it--and I thought Par (or any baby really) would be able to easily pick it up since "Mama" was one of Par's first words...and how hard can "milk" be to say? Well...my plan did not work...Par calls it "Me Me"--which isn't so bad...pardon me for being crass...but I have heard children ask for the "titty"---oh...it makes me cringe even writing it--to be honest...I don't even know if I spelled it correctly...anyway..."Me Me" is fine I guess...
So family has asked repeatedly--"When is he going to stop BF?"
and now I find myself apologetically telling people he is still bf--I am so weak!!!!
I should be ashamed of myself!!!!
So here it is...he still is BF--and he will BF until he is ready to quit...that might be next week or next year...
My only issue...I would love to have another baby--but I still haven't returned to normalhood...and it is because of BF...what gives me peace is knowing that I am doing exactly what God wants me to be doing right now. I pray I can continue to have peace about waiting.
I'll try to update more often...keep BFing!!!!!!!
