Long Overdue Beach Pictures

We took M.E. for her first beach trip back in early June and I'm just now posting pictures. Just wanted to share!

She loved it!

The sunglasses were a great idea, just not very effective

We went to Beaufort and walked along the waterfront

I'm done!

I'm done with Breastfeeding. I nursed M.E. last night for the last time.
Its kinda bittersweet. Sorta. As hard as it was in the beginning, it became something I did enjoy. However, I didn't enjoy pumping 3 times a day at work. She has started biting. And in the past week. Everytime I nursed, she'd nurse for like 2 minutes, then bite me. So I'd switch sides, and she'd do the same. I knew my milk was just getting really low.

At the end of the day. She's a happy and healthy baby. I couldn't ask for more.

I guess the "bitter" part of it is that its over. I won't ever get to do it for the first time again. I'm very glad I stuck it out and was able to do it for almost 8 months. Hopefully she'll benifit (as will I) for many years to come! This morning I woke up and just knew I was done. And I was ok with that. I dreaded it, but today, I was fine with it. :D
