A year in pictures – Day 337

Good boobyShe’s a natural!

The Little Miss is a good Mummy to her babies and she I often find her with a dolly on her shoulder with her whispering ‘shhh shhh shhh’ to her.

Today she told me that her baby was crying because she was hungry so she was going to give her some booby.

My booby

This is one of my favourite views.

I never thought that at 18 months on our breastfeeding journey would still be continuing. I stopped feeding The Little Mister at 14 months because I was pregnant and it was just so painful, but with The Little Miss we have continued well past that.

It makes me smile when she looks at me and says ‘My booby’ and it certainly makes me smile to feel the weight of her warm body resting against mine, snuggling down for some milk and feeling her relax.

I will miss this part of my parenting experience when it comes to an end. Hopefully it won’t be for a few more months.

2015 Project365 (Day 329)

Milk stash

So here we have an end of an era – I have finally thrown out all the breast milk that I had pumped and frozen. I thought it was about time I binned it as some of it was over a year ago!

When I thought of all the hours I spent expressing and how boring and frustrating it was it seems a shame just to dump it. I am just grateful that I was able to provide for my daughter in this way. I am also proud that we stuck it out because it wasn’t always easy but it was incredibly rewarding!

I am sure in the not too distant future that our breastfeeding journey will come to an end. It has been a special time for all of us, and I am sure that when it comes to an end there will be tears, but we will move on to the next stage in all our lives.

*sigh* my babies are growing up!

LoveI will never tire of looking at this lovely girls little face.

I have had the absolute privilege of breastfeeding her all this time and I hope we will be able to continue for a few more months at least.

There is something truly amazing to know that my body has nurtured and fed this little one. My breasts have provided her with sustenance and comfort and the emotional bond between us has continued to grow and develop.

This is how she looks after she has had a decent feed. Satisfied and heavy with sleep. What a blessing.

2014 Project365 (Day 217)

Guernsey sea front

I am breastfeeding again and it has taken a little while to get into the swing of things this time. The Little Miss a little slow to crack on with it but we are getting there.

What I have reminded myself of is that a crying baby waits for no-one. This was my view today when I got my nips out in the carpark in town. Not a bad view I admit and I enjoyed the quiet moment with my beautiful daughter.

Today is my parents’ wedding anniversary. It was a little hard to know what to do, whether to get Dad a card or whether to acknowledge it at all. In the end he did get a card, Dad put flowers on Mum’s grave and we had a barbecue together at his house. Another of the firsts done. We miss her so much but that doesn’t mean we should stop acknowledging the good stuff and marking the special dates in all our lives.
