The Inevitable

I think my milk supply is drying up. I have been nursing my 10 month old baby exclusively since birth, but now that he's getting so much solid food, my milk supply has really diminished. Either I have to start pumping outside of "normal pumping hours" or I have to supplement with formula. That really sucks. I've gone this far and only have two months left before I can completly switch him to whole milk. How do some mothers nurse until their child is two or three years old? They must be milk gods. I can't imagine the freedom I'll have once I do stop nursing. Such a strange thought considering I couldn't wait to get the little guy off the boob a few months ago.

New Day New Perspective

My attitude towards men and my h has completely changed from last week. Typical woman to flip flop every few days. I said to my h yesterday that he has been the ideal man over the past three days. Okay, so it's only been three days, but I'll take it. I'm even going out two nights this week without h or child. Nice. Of course I have this huge guild complex about going out w/out him and the child. Do all women have "the guilt complex" or is it something that we get b/c of our upbringing. Nature versus nurture. Most of the wives/mothers I know all have the same issues so I know it's not just me. I don't suspect that my h thinks twice while he's out on his own. Lucky him. Stupid me. I'm still going to go out and enjoy myself anyway.
