Another Milestone. . .a bittersweet one

Danielle, now almost 13 months old, has officially weaned herself from breastfeeding! Last week was the last time I nursed her. She did it all on her own and it went so smoothly. The only person having a hard time with it is me. :-( For the last few days I have been extremely sad. I know it sounds crazy, but it almost feels like I lost a baby I'm THAT sad. I feel very proud to have nursed her as long as I had. I never in a million years thought I'd make it past 3 months, let alone a whole year! She made it easy for me. She's a good baby.
The last few months I felt ready to wean her, emotionally and physically. It was getting hard to position her because she was getting so big and all those teeth in her mouth were a bit terrifying to say the least. It's nice to have my body back, and my boobs. :-P I just hope this feeling of sadness goes away soon.
