The end is coming...

I'm so sad. We're going to stop breastfeeding soon- probably this week. Not sure. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. But, in all honesty, I don't want to use my twenty five minute lunch break to pump like I did all last semester. I also don't want to keep taking the supplemets that are causing my monthly visitor to be so erratic. BUT- I'm really going to miss my Mommy and Finley cuddle time. I got Tim to take some pics the other day and I'll get him to take some more. I feel like I should do something special for the last time, but not really, kwim? It's an odd feeling. I've had a love/hate relationship with breastfeeding anyway- milk supply issues, excruciating pain for pretty much the first 10 weeks and then pain sporadically at other times. But, I believe in breastfeeding and that it's what is best for my child. So, here we are at 12 and 1/2 months old getting ready to stop. I'm sure I'll cry...

Our Week

Girls! We have had so much fun this week. I am amazed at how much both of you have grown and how you interact with each other. I always wanted a sister growing up and never had one (although I have a realy close friend that is like a sister!). I hope you two stick together always and love each other as much as you already do for the rest of your lives. I can see how you adore one another while you are making silly noises at each other at the dinner table, when Peyton, you help Finley get a toy or her paci if she can't do it, when, Finley, you laugh at anything your big sister does. You two are precious!

This week we had fun while Daddy was at work! We played hard, we were active, and we got to do new and exciting things. One of those things was finger painting with chocolate pudding. You both loved the chocolate paint. Peyton, you were afraid of getting too messy, but Finley, you went to town! It was straight into the bath for both of you!
