So, I decided to begin weaning Smidget 21 days ago. Since then, we've gone from 10+ feedings a day down to ONE.
You heard me. He's about a week ahead of schedule---for the last two nights he has not asked to nurse in the middle of the night. He wakes, but is easily comforted down to sleep.
And, I went a whole 23 hours without nursing WITHOUT GETTING ENGORGED!!! AMAZING!!!
He now only nurses between 8:30pm and 9:00pm give or take 1/2 hour based on his crankiness and what time I put him to bed as a result. Today he didn't get much of a nap, so I put him to bed about 10 minutes early.
I think I'm going to keep him at this level for at least a week before trying to stop completely. I want my supply TOTALLY evened out before I try to stop because the pain is HORRIBLE if I don't. This isn't because I don't think he's ready---its because my boobs might die. Totally selfish reasons.
Oh, and we have cut TWO teeth since we started weaning. The previous two before that he refused all solid food and ONLY nursed 24/7 for five days. This time, he eats like a pig and naps like its his job. Didn't use any Tylenol on him either.
I feel like an amazing mama :D
But, in reality, I just have an amazing kiddo.

15 Month Checkup
I AM TAKING A MOMENT TO BRAG---
My son is 15 months and is 32.5 inches tall and 26 pounds.
Apparently my son not only meets or exceeds ALL of the milestones for a 15 month old, but he is meeting (or exceeding) everything for 18 months too.
My doc today told me to call her for his 18 month appointment and she'd answer any questions I have but that if I didn't NEED to bring him in for anything in particular, she'd just see him in 6 months. She said, since he's meeting ALL of those milestones, she sees no reason to drag him in unless necessary.
She was very impressed with his vocabulary and his knowledge of how to open doors and climbing skills and his potty skills. She was even amazed that he is in the copycat stage as well and learns new tasks quickly (flushing toilets, opening baby gates, etc). Seriously, show him something twice and he'll have it mastered by the end of the day.
So I guess I get to feel like a great mom this week!
It never gets old hearing how gorgeous he is or how smart.
Call me biased, but I totally knew he was the smartest and most wonderful baby ever.
:D :D :D

Boobing---The Final Countdown.
As we get more into this weaning deal I'm reevaluating the best way to do it to be less traumatic for a Smidget.
And for my boobs.
Because DAMN engorgement hurts!
WEEK 1: we cut out all non-sleepy feedings. Free nursing 8pm-8am and then a 1pm nap nurse.
WEEK 2: We cut out naptime feedings. Easier than I thought! but ENGORGEMENT IS EVIL!!!
It took until Tuesday for my supply to diminish enough that I wasn't getting engorged. I was going 12 full hours with NO boobing of a baby so my boobies had to protest a little until they got used to it.
WEEK 3: Decrease mid-night feedings. Right now I'm working on getting rid of the 2am-8:30pm feedings. That gives me 18.5 straight hours of no-nursing. Again, my boobs have been protesting. Around 6:30 I start to get full. By 7:30 its painful. By 8:30 I'm THRILLED to boob a Smidget. We've been on this schedule since Friday and so far its working out okay. I'm getting less engorged and getting engorged a little later each day. I'm hoping that by Friday I'll have evened out again so we can move to the next stage and get rid of all nursing EXCEPT the going-to-bed nursing session. If I haven't evened out by Friday I'll give this stage another few days/week until I do. I figure if MY body isn't used to it yet then there is NO way his little body will be.
Its getting easier to get him to go to sleep without a boob. Today he fell asleep shopping in Walmart. The other day he slept through driving to the park, moving ot his stroller, and then sitting at the park. Then he slept through getting back in the car and driving home! He didn't wake up until I pulled into the drive. Then Sunday he fell asleep in his high chair! This is a kid who has fallen asleep outside of his crib/my arms MAYBE 4 times in his entire life. He has nursed to sleep since birth except for a small one month period where I had him putting himself to sleep in his crib--that ended when we drove cross-country for christmas and his routine got screwed. I missed that!
It is amazing to watch him NOT fight sleep.
And he doesn't really ask to nurse much either. It seems like he knows he won't get it so he doesn't bother asking.
He is SOOOOO much more snuggly and sleeps SO much more soundly. He has been taking 2-2.5 hour naps (up from under 1 hour when he was nursing) and gives 10x as many hugs and kisses! Its amazing. He's this independent guy now but when he wants comfort he gives hugs and kisses and cuddles instead of diving straight for my chest!
My little guy amazes me. As he weans I find myself glad that I still have that nighttime nursing to lay beside him and watch his face become peaceful and watch him drift off. Its amazing and he's totally gorgeous!
I think I'm in love all over again.
Who'd have thought it was possible :D
And for my boobs.

Potty Training WIN!
Smidget is 15 months old.
Last night I went to put him to bed at 8:30 and had him ALMOST there when my hubby walked past his door in order to go to the bathroom. As soon as my son heard the bathroom door he was OFF and chasing Dada.
My hubby was taking a sit-down and my son went up to him and sat across from him on his little potty (clothes and all). So, we took off his jammie shorts and let him sit on the potty.
AND HE POOPED!!! He asked to go potty and he POOPED!
It was the first time he willingly pooped on the potty!
Then, today, I was bathing him around 7pm to get him ready for bed and he stood up and made mad faces, so I let him out of the tub. He walked around for a minute or two and then came back to the bathroom where I was drying my floors/walls/toilet/etc after his bath and then made a mad face and farted. So I asked him if he needed to potty. he said "yeah" and sat.
AND HE POOPED AGAIN!
I wiped him and he climbed back into the tub again (apparently it was just a potty break) and played for a minute before climbing out again and crying because I was blocking him from his potty. I put him back on and...
HE POOPED AGAIN!
So in 24 hours he asked to go poopy in the potty THREE TIMES!
My 15 month old poops on the potty.
I love it!
Now if I can get him to wake up before peeing we'd be 2/3 of the way to potty training! He has daytime accidents, but not many at all. But he does wear a diaper full time when we're out because he's not vocal enough to ask to potty before he needs to. When we're home he'll go if I ask him if he needs to or just put him on it.

Weaning
Down to NO daytime nursing! WOOT!
And naptimes are getting SOOO much better.
And I'm totally not even getting engorged!!!
Friday I am going to start a gradual nighttime weaning.
Right now we're at no nursing from 8:00am-8:30pm
Friday 9/24 no nursing from 4am-8:30pm.
Friday 10/1 no nursing midnight-8:30pm.
Then, Friday 10/8 we'll be down to JUST the bedtime nursing for a week.
Friday 10/15 I'll be trying to figure out how to put him to bed without nursing him. Naptimes take about 20 minutes to get him down now when we're home and I lay with him. He's always fallen asleep easily in the car or in the stroller---but I dunno if bedtime is going to go nearly so easily.

Serious Weaning Day 2
Day 1 went well---I was at home and denied him access except when he was going down for his naps/bedtime.
Night time did not go so well :/ He didn't sleep well at all, possibly because I let him nap at 4:30pm.
Day 2 went okay. He did well all day because we were out. He only napped 30 minutes all day (went down without a boob) and then when we got home I nursed him to try to get him back down at 2pm and he didn't go. He nursed again after dinner (he didn't eat much dinner, I think because of his teeth). then nursed when he went to sleep.
Night time worked better because he was tired but not OVER tired and he slept pretty well. He woke up at 3am and came into our bedroom (walked all by himself :D) and he slept with me from 3am-8am. He nursed when he first came to our bed and then when he woke up. I slept topless last night, so he had access while I was sleeping, but I slept on my stomach. It was just hard to deny him his wake-up feeding because I was topless---so tonight I've gotta sleep in a sports bra or tee shirt I guess.
On to day 3. (Will update as I go---to keep myself accountable)
So far, nursed at 8:15am when he woke up.
Oh, and now he says Babusa (babushka/grandma), Wubbzy, and Widget (from Wow Wow Wubbzy). He also said Princess once because the unicorn on Wubbzy was named Princess :D

Serious Weaning Day 1
So far today Smidget nursed when he woke up (he was in bed with me at the time) and again as he fell asleep for his nap. As of today (right now) I'm going down to 2x a day nursing.
I have discovered that if either Dada or I are laying in bed with him, he'll comfort and go back to sleep even without nursing 90% of the time. So, we're going to be letting him sleep with us while we transition to weaning. He already is attached to sleeping with us or at least having me close by at night because he wakes up wanting to nurse so often---the sleeping with us is something I'm okay with---would prefer he not, but I feel like trying to stop doing both at once is a bit too much for my little man.
So, from here out, I will be denying him his "snacking" and offering other foods. Even if he is fussy and crying, he needs to learn that I'm not a snack.
I will still be nursing him to sleep (night time and naps when we're home) for another couple of weeks until he is used to not nursing during the day. Once I have it so that he's okay with not nursing except before he goes to sleep I'm going to cut out the pre-nap nursing. Once he is going down without nursing before naps I'll give it a week and then work on getting Dada to put him down at night (at least on weekends). When Dada puts him down he fights sleeping without nursing less than when I do it.
I'm also attempting to cut out midnight nursing. I think I can do this IF Dada or I am laying with him. If I'm in another room or don't go to him immediately if I'm still up, he gets really upset and works himself up to a frenzy and won't go down without nursing. So, I just have to either lay with him or get to him immediately.
So, wish me luck with this. He's 15 months tomorrow. I've read numerous studies that say that if you don't wean a toddler before 18 months it is MUCH more difficult to wean them. 18-36 months are supposedly the hardest months to begin the weaning process.
My goal is 17 months. That gives me 2 months to get him TOTALLY off the boob. I hope to be down to only pre-bedtime feedings before October 1.
I am going to need a LOT of support and encouragement. No "you should have weaned him earlier" or any other BS. No criticism. No reminding me that if I'd weaned him earlier it'd be easier.
Until I started trying to get pregnant I had NOOOOO problems breastfeeding him. Yes, it was inconvenient, but I still loved it. Yes, I've wanted to sleep on my stomach for several months now---but I'm hoping weaning will help him sleep through the night (several of my extended breastfeeding friends have said their kids didn't sleep through until they weaned). I still love the peace on his face when he nurses to sleep. Those are the feedings I will miss. I will miss the easy comfort it offers him.
So, don't try to make my nursing him out to something I "need" to do for any reason other than the fact that I simply want to and I, personally, feel that I am done with this stage.
My goal is to, by Christmas, have him sleeping in his own bed full time (not just for the first 4-6 hours of the night like he does now)
So, thank you for your support and care. I know that I have given him the best start imaginable. He is incredibly healthy, smart, and well rounded. Now, its time to round him out fully by showing him to be independent and to self comfort (with mommy right behind him encouraging, comforting, and loving him, of course ;) ---I'm still not letting him strike out on his own )
Thanks! Please pray for us :D

Its been a while.
So, we're back to trying to get pregnant (again).
I have NO idea if I'm pregnant. I've taken like 10 tests and all of them show what MIGHT be a VERY VERY faint line, but nothing even dark enough to show up in a picture. So, I'm waiting a few days and testing again. Period isn't technically late til Wednesday, so it ain't over til the fat lady sings (or that bitch Aunt Flo shows up).
Symptoms for:
Nosebleeds
Mild nausea (not near as bad as with Ax)
Fatigue/Lethargy
Random bouts of crazy energy
Insomnia
Need to clean my house (nesting usually happens later, but with a toddler might be sooner :D)
Constipation
Lack of appetite/sudden surges of being STARVING
Cravings---dairy. no garlic.
Heightened sense of smell---i smell garlic/onions everywhere. Smelled sprite from 30 feet away at the hardware store today.
Headaches---mild, but regular
Thirsty ALL the time
Timing seems right (ovulated CD11. Did the deed 4 times.)
Possible implantation cramping around 6-8 DPO
Milk production is wonky (Smidget nursing less)
Lower back pain
Smidget wants to lay ON me to go to sleep.
Smidget pets my belly (he's NEVER done this before)
Pregnancy brain---(forgot to rinse conditioner last night. put Smidget to bed with NO diaper on last night, went to run errands and left my front door and screen WIDE OPEN, and other smaller and less noticeable slip ups)
Gassy
Fluid retention (hands and feet swell when I'm super busy)
Breaking out like a 13 year old
MOODINESS OUT THE WAZOOOOOOO!
COME ON POSITIVE TEST!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
