Stopping

So Dear Readers, as you may have noticed in this post, I am and have been EPing for Evie for almost 8 months. It has been somewhat difficult the entire time, and since Mr. E has been gone it has been especially hard because I have no one to hold/occupy Evie in the morning and at night. So I think I have reached my end point. I think I am going to start weaning myself off the pump in the coming months. The timing is right because there are a lot of things coming up that will be very time consuming. They include moving to the farm and my Grandma, Evie's Gigi moving here. With my decision to wean myself off the pump I have also decided to not go to the LLL conference in April. April is when we'll be moving and when Grandma will be moving, so the timing was bad anyway, but also I would feel weird going to the LLL conference with Evie but not lactating for her. I was nervous about being an EPer at the conference anyway so now that stress is gone, which is nice, cuz honestly I gotta make room for all the other stress in my life =)

Am I dumb? I did not know you were moving to the farm too! Did I?

I wish you were coming to the conference. We'll miss you there. And I'm sorry you are stopping pumping too. ((hugs))

Aww... we'll miss you at the conf! And weaning is hard no matter how or when you/your baby do it. You've given her such an amazing gift--you're amazing!
