the end of an era

i'm so sad. i just finished nursing a for the last time. he's 16 months old today, and i'm going on a girls' weekend to the beach next weekend. dh and i decided it was time.

c kinda self-weaned at 15 months (with a little help from the irish inlaws - but that's a story for another time). and i always sort of assumed that a would self-wean by now. but he's nowhere close.

i feel like i'm taking something special and important away from him. and also from myself. i have been pregnant or nursing (or both) for the past 46 months. it's such a part of my life, who i am, and i'm desperately sad that this chapter is closing forever.
