E & I are adjusting to our new non-nursing status. She’s asked to nurse a couple times in the last 48 hours but, when I remind her that mama’s milk went bye-bye, she accepts it readily and moves on. *sigh* And its been about 12 hours since I last shed a tear about it. Every time Jim sees me crying about it, he shakes his head in confusion. Since she *knows* my milk really is all gone, I think that has helped her transition rather than knowing its there but I just wouldn’t let her have it. When she’s going to sleep, she now cuddles into me or drapes herself across my body. So cute. She’s not sleeping any better, really. I’m not convinced she will even know that she isn’t nursing. But we’re also still in a transition period, I realize. If I could get her down to just 1 or 2 wake-ups a night, I’d consider that a success!! And if I could now get her to sleep through the night, I’d consider that HEAVEN!! LOL

Jim went back to school tonight. We went to Moe’s Southwest Grill (first time, not too bad) and then said good-bye to him. And then we went to do what we do best when he leaves–spend $$! LOL I always feel the need to go shopping when he leaves after more than a few days home though I rarely buy much. Tonight was no exception. We went to Toys R Us (where I got Cranium Cariboo on sale–E loves it!!), walked down to Barnes & Nobles to look for a magazine (they didn’t have it), then to Ross & Marshall’s, where I didn’t buy anything either. Still, it was a nice way to get my mind off of him leaving. And it was nice to be outside. Its cool here tonight but it felt good.
