One more month till bubba turns two! Whatever happened to my little bundle of joy?
Just a couple of days ago, my father was telling me how appropriate it is that we're staying in a two bedroom apartment. I looked at him and said, "soon little china doll will grow up and need a room of her own." He gave me a surprised look and said, "oh my goodness, I totally forgot that she will soon grow up!" That was such an LOL moment. I can't really blame him though because Little Miss Not A Princess Bébé has been co-sleeping with me since she was one, so naturally it would have not cross my parents' mind that she will soon need a room of her own.
People always tell you to cherish the times you have with your children. And they're not velying, you really should. It won't be too long before she will grow up and have a life of her own. I was supposed to wean her off my boobs, but I haven't had the determination and heart to see it through. It wasn't until a friend told me her experience weaning off her baby and how she cried for almost two weeks due to 'separation anxiety' and she'd give anything to be that close to her baby again that it hit me. Why do I need to cave in to peer pressure of weaning my baby by two? I don't. I should wean my baby because we (baby and I) want to. Even my husband is fully supportive that we don't go through the coerce weaning process unless bub is ready.
Since then, I'm cherishing my breastfeeding moments more (it's only nursing to sleep anyway most of the time). I'm cherishing my time with my little munchkin because I know she will only want to be clingy for awhile more. Soon, she will want to spread her wings and fly, and I will never be able to hold my baby like the way I'm holding her now.
