bye-bye girls.

the time has come, my day of c cups is officially over.
yes, i am talking about my boobs.
i have relished having a set of these babies, really, i have. things, well, fit better. not to mention the function they maintained- SO convenient.
but lillian has moved on, she is on to bigger and better things and so my poor girls are left behind.
sigh.

honestly though, i thought this weaning process would be a bit harder, both for me and her but thankfully our experience so far has been really natural. lillian has taken to table food SO well (read more about our blw method here and here) and i couldn't be happier to gain a little freedom. i also feel so blessed and thankful that i was able to nurse her for a year, as i know i am among the fortunate who are able to offer that gift to their children. 
we are down to once a day, and think that she will soon drop that (i am guessing right around her first birthday this january) and so we are starting to introduce whole milk. not as a replacement for when she is nursing, but as an additional drink throughout the day. so far, she doesn't dislike it, she just doesn't drink much. thankfully she eats (happily) lots of full fat greek yogurt and cheese so i know her dairy intake isn't at risk!

so thats what we are up to, or not up to around here! 
hope everyone is getting ready for a wonderful holiday!
