Over the weekend, Vera nursed for the last time. I am so thankful for the wonderful nursing relationship we had over the last fourteen-and-a-half months! It’s really amazing to think that I personally nursed Vera every single day for her whole first year of life and then some.
I think because I am pregnant my milk supply dwindled, encouraging her to wean at this time. But I don’t think she minds, since she is a great eater and enjoys a wide variety of solid foods. The weaning process has been very gradual, and while I cried a lot about it (since I knew it was coming) about a month ago, I am at peace now knowing that the timing is right.
We still cuddle at night in the rocking chair in her room while Daddy reads a Bible story.
I will always treasure the memories of nursing my precious firstborn!
