I hope you're having some nice glasses of wine at night and some good cups of coffee in the morning, because that is a LONG time to go without. So proud of you, and glad to know that it will all be OK when the time comes. I need to read that section of the NMC, because we are trying to cut out some nightly feedings and it is not going well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974438034424014908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-5183787697329862612012-08-03T09:39:07.269-05:002012-08-03T09:39:07.269-05:00So proud of you for sticking with it, I remember l...So proud of you for sticking with it, I remember long e-mails back and forth about it. Now you can call Ross or your mom up and go out to a fancy dinner with few glasses of wine at a reasonable hour and still get back at a reasonable time! xoxoStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250309690701250023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-81497137545446039922012-08-02T22:57:53.467-05:002012-08-02T22:57:53.467-05:00Thanks so much -- Emily, I totally agree with you ...Thanks so much -- Emily, I totally agree with you that this virtual community of moms has been such a lifesaver for me time and again. And despite what the media might tell you, I've only found it to be supportive! Melissa, you're totally right about how getting through the tough times made the relationship sweeter -- I'm really, really glad that I stuck with it, though I certainly understand why women don't.courtney - larking.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08226125721814127732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-3522804249304884042012-08-02T19:14:54.289-05:002012-08-02T19:14:54.289-05:00I *almost* cried reading your post, Courtney.

I'm so thankful that I've never had any struggles with breastfeeding Charlie, and that at 57 weeks, we're still going strong with several day/night feedings. Kudos to you for sticking it out through so many tough times. What a wonderful, healthy start to life you gave your daughter. Congratulations! <br /><br />~ Also - do you mind if I link to your post in my WBW post that I'm going to run on Saturday?crunchyfarmbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699608137760130814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-716699903790698322012-08-02T19:13:12.734-05:002012-08-02T19:13:12.734-05:00I didn't realize you had such a rough start.

Even though the end hasn't come for us just yet, I remember the first time A went to bed without nursing. I was shocked by how emotional I was! <br /><br />62 weeks is a fabulous run. I'm sure you will treasure the memories, and the benefits will be with Lorelei for the rest of her life.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698231692999838673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-26907811634095233002012-08-02T15:42:22.989-05:002012-08-02T15:42:22.989-05:00I'm not sure how I'm going to react when L...I'm not sure how I'm going to react when Levi decides he's done with breastfeeding, which I think may be soon. He's losing focus and our sessions are getting shorter. I love what you wrote about the sacrifices we make to nurse--no caffeine, cute clothing, etc. All very true!PJhttp://www.bunnyanddolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-49843284794499843842012-08-02T13:40:39.939-05:002012-08-02T13:40:39.939-05:00this is a very beautiful post about many aspects o...this is a very beautiful post about many aspects of breastfeeding. <br /><br />the weaning blues come and go for me as i think we're getting close to ending breastfeeding. it's not very often that ramona nurses (morning, once during the day [if that], and before bed) and we'll see how those taper off naturally. i'm looking forward to her reaching her next stage in growth and independence but i'm anticipating it will be sad for me to let go of that special bond. <br /><br />it's very nice to have this community of moms to read what everyone else goes through as well (wether it is the same or different!).emily -- a denver home companionhttp://www.adenverhomecompanion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-13040485128171384972012-08-02T10:40:34.547-05:002012-08-02T10:40:34.547-05:00We ended about a month ago.

And although it did happen gradually, when it was over I felt like I missed that final moment too. Our babies are growing up. Happy world breastfeeding week to you as well. What a wonderful gift you were able to give to little L :)Margauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085380394341703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-46618122607787119442012-08-02T10:34:34.077-05:002012-08-02T10:34:34.077-05:00Aww, I know that I will be right there with you wh...Aww, I know that I will be right there with you when our nursing days are done. I'm ready to be done, but I also know that it's going to be emotional to say goodbye to that part of babyhood.<br /><br />Way to stick with it for 62 weeks! That's a major accomplishment!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469143184329416252noreply@blogger.com
