Mega Boob

So I decided to take the boob away from J this weekend. He is going to be one next month and I am so not for feeding him past that age. About a month ago we finally got the point where he was only getting feedings from me first thing in the morning, at bedtime and during the night.

Doing this however I was in fear. Oh my do I remember what happened when R was little, I didn't breastfeed him but I sure had enough to do so. I remember 1 week after having him I went through the swelling (OUCH). It was horrible. I was already a D what on earth was I going to swell to. I remember laying on my back in bed in pain and my boobs where touching in the middle and they where touching the bed they swelled so bad. I remember taking showers and milk shooting everywhere.

*Oh by the way this post is going to get personal so if you don't like the TMI get lost.

I originally was going to quit feeding J at 6 months but I was more comfortable with BFeeding then I thought I was going to be so I continued. Not to mention he was horrible at taking the formula.

Anyways on with the post. My boob hurts. But I can say this, not near as much as it did with R thankfully because I did feed and we've allowed the supply to get lower and lower lately. I didn't make it to church today. Um, I was swollen & lopsided. Lopsided? Yes! One side stopped producing on it's own about a month ago. So, one boob was normal & the other boob was twice as big. I'm not bashful but I'm so not showing up at church with one mega boob.

I wonder if my boob will be normal tomorrow? I have things to do. It's hard, literally it is. I think it may just explode if you push on it at all.

Not to mention my poor hubby and my boys have to deal with my hormones right now. On top of what my body is going through due to stopping BFeeding I think it's trying to jump start 2 years of no periods hormones too. I literally can feel my hormones going crazy & feel my mood swings kicking in. Another down side to stopping BFeeding - Aunt Flow is eventually going to come back. It was nice not having her visit for almost 2 years.

Ugh, I'm tired, I want to sleep on my tummy because that's the way I like it. But no, mega boob is in my way.

Have you forgotten?

I have not forgotten you blog world, this has just been a hectic. I promise I will update & post some new pictures this weekend.
