Bye Bye Breastfeeding

So Trouble is officially weaned from the breast. It's been quite the experience I'll tell you. It started with complete and utter sadness and worry, but once I gave myself permission to take it slow, it became much more natural. He is doing great and is sleeping better at night too! I have the overwhelming sense of freedom and it's mostly guilt free. I haven't felt this way in a while. I LOVED breastfeeding and will do it again for sure, but I will admit that it's nice not feeling that I have to be so tied down. I'm enjoying staying out later with neighborhood friends, having a few drinks here and there, and even want to go out with some girlfriends for once! It's been ages since I've done that, and I better do it soon, because despite this joyful freedom, I'm pretty ready to get pregnant again and then it'll be bye bye freedom again for at least another couple years!
