crib sleeping and nursing

Nannah slept in her crib all night last night. I put her down at 9:30 she slept 30 minutes woke up i gave her a bottle she drank it and went back to sleep for an hour. not it was 11 and she woke up and cried for 15 minutes so I gave her a 3 oz bottle she drank it and went to sleep till 12:30 then woke up cried for 10 minutes and went to sleep. she then slept until 6:30. She was fussy so I went and got her a morning bottle. I walked out in the kitchen where my dad is and he is laughing at me cause I am walking with my eyes practically closed. He was impressed I could make a bottle with my pretty much shut. Nannah drank her bottle and went back to sleep. I had to wake her up at 9:15 because I need to get her sleeping patterns fixed. Since I did not need to nurse her at all. I am officially done nursing which I thought was a good thing. But it is bitter sweet. I know that I may never nurse another child. I had a hard time nursing nannah I never produced more than 3-4 ounces. She wanted more. I tried everything it just never was enough. It has been making me depressed and I would cry. The IUD i have makes me a little bit more hormonal which makes me cry more. I needed to stop nursing I knew it was the right thing. it is just hard. Nannah is probably my last child. If she isn't we would have one for 4 years. and Then even we are thinking about adoption instead. It is bittersweet but it will be good for me.

I got really good at making bottles with my eyes shut when Rhayn was a baby. :)

You are a good mom. Your kids are lucky to have you.
You get to do what's best for you and your family.
Keep your chin up, these little ones grow SO fast and then they go off and get married. :)
