Today marks the first day of the last month of Noelle's infancy. I am ridiculous I know. When I gave birth to Noelle, Austen was barely 3 1/2. So, even though I remember most of the highlights from the boys first 12 months...I didn't quite hold on to them as tightly as her's. She's, ya know, the grand finale. I am not fully prepared to embark upon the first birthday, so I am going to cherish the 11th month the best I can. I know that each stage gets more and more fun...really I know that, but still can I be a little sad? We are kind of in the "weaning" process now. I am nursing her in the morning and at night and she drinks milk and juice during the day. I thought that for sure after I went back to work full time that I would be exhausted and ready to regain my body back 100%...but yeah, not so much. I look forward to that small 10 minutes that is just her and I in the mornings and at nighttime. I know I am not alone in this feeling! I can't be!

When my nephew was born, Anna was 9 months old and still nursing ( same as Noelle, at night and in the morning ) but when I held that new born, I realized how much she was NOT a baby anymore. That night I went to bed and cried. I woke her up and held her...(can you hear the sad music in the background?..it was SO dramatic ) Them growing up is the most celebrated yet painful thing in the world. I'll keep you in my thoughts sista friend...I know it is hard. : ) You are NOT alone!
I totally get it!!!! Ben just turned a year and weaned, It is such a sad day... the day after you realize yesterday was the LAST time you'd ever get that sweet time with them. Ugh...guess it's time to have #3, right?? Love to your kiddos, xo
