Weaning Himself

Chase is now 30 months old and has finally weaned himself. It's been about a week or so now since his last nursing. He's asked for "feed me" a few times when he was having trouble falling asleep on his own, but otherwise has not requested to nurse. He definitely wants more being held and attention now, though. And seems to have gotten more aggressive and temperamental.

And I've been feeling blah. Like I don't want to do anything. Sort of depressed. Only today did it dawn on me that I've been feeling this way since about the time he stopped nursing. I miss holding him for long times and rocking him to sleep. Now my bras, which didn't fit well in the first place, seem to be fitting worse. However, I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort like you hear women suffer who abruptly stop nursing.

Well, I'm gonna try to get myself out of this slump and hope that it starts to go away. I just don't feel like doing anything at all. Not even logging on to Facebook and checking all my messages. I don't really feel like doing all the stuff I normally feel like doing. I've only been doing them out of pure habit. I'd much rather lay around in bed or sit quietly in my chair, not reading, not drawing, not doing much of any thing at all. I'm pretty certain now that the severe mood shifts Chase and I are experiencing is because of weaning.

Well, holding and cuddling my boy should help with the growing up blues. My lil' guy is growing up ;D He'll be wiping his own butt soon! Cross my fingers!
