To bed without nursing

Well, I finally did it. I put Handsome to bed without nursing him last night. Talk about ripping your heart out. It's like finally cutting the cord. I wasn't ready, but I know Handsome was. My milk was there and he just didn't want it. I supposed every step is going to hurt this much. Each time he grows up and takes another step towards independence it's going to tug at my heart.

I can't promise I won't have a relapse tonight and try to nurse him again, but the one night is a step in the right direction. Actually, I won't try again. My milk really should be gone by now.

Yesterday, August 10, 2008 was the last day of nursing for Handsome and me.
