Mine, again! (finally?)

My boobs and bed are once again, mine.

2 and a half weeks ago, after months of no sleep, I decided it was time to put Maddy in the crib and while I was at it, I might as well go full force with the weening. The first night was horrible. She woke up countless times and cried for what seemed like hours. It was so hard to leave her there.

Every night, though, got easier. A few days and she would wake up one less time until, she slept through the night (11 hours) for the past 4 days! Tonight was our biggest success when she went to bed without a single tear!

The weening...is going just as well. However, I must admit, my boobs were in tremendous pain, so after about 5 days I gave in and let her drain them. The poor baby tries to lift my shirt every now and again, only to be disappointed. And she goes to bed crying, saying, "boo boos." But other than that, things are going well.

I wish I could say I was sleeping better, but I'm not. Maybe I miss cuddling with her? Maybe I'm sad that my little baby isn't a baby anymore? Maybe I'm just stressed? I don't know. I definitely like the space though.
