Goodbye to Breastfeeding Part 2

Things are going well, much better than expected. The first few nights of going to bed without breastfeeding, Jacob woke up at 5 in the morning wanting me. As I was not willing to wake up at 5 in the morning and also had breasts that felt like they were going to explode, I "gave in" and nursed him and put him back to bed. It helped me with the engorgement (and sleeping). This morning he didn't wake up until 7, so I figured I could get my lazy butt out of bed, too and gave him breakfast and some milk in a sippy cup. He wanted to sit in my lap and cuddle for a bit first. Other than the engorgement and sometimes feeling a little emotional, I'm doing well too. Some tricks I have used to help myself. A long soak in the tub and a heat pack on my chest at bedtime helps out big time. I also went and bought myself a new "regular" bra yesterday, which was a little treat for myself. Hopefully it fits when I deflate.
