Yesterday was the last day I get to experience these kind of moments with Blake. I had zero expectations before breastfeeding - no classes, didn't read up on it - but I do have to say, I was surprised at how easy it came to both of us and how much I truly loved it. Originally, I had planned on doing it for a year, then switched to a year and a half, then thought, "Maybe I should go to two years?" Well, as a working and pumping mama, my body had its own plans and decided it was time to call it quits. Pumping just didn't work anymore, my milk supply died down, and she would get upset every time I fed her. While I'm really saddened by it and struggling with the thought that we won't share this kind of 'mommy & me' time anymore, I'm happy I made it to 16 months and I know it's an achievement. For those of you that can continue on, enjoy every little moment.

The photo of us with the landscape background is on Mother's Day, when my milk supply first started decreasing. I had a photographer take these photos of me feeding her because I didn't know how much longer I had and I wanted to have beautiful photos to represent it. The picture of Blake and I laying down is from a month a half ago when we were on vacation. I asked my husband to take our picture because this is when I realized I really was nearing the end of breastfeeding.
