So not ready ...

Stephanie

I can’t believe my LO will be 1 in two weeks. My supply has also naturally dwindled over the last week. I was pumping 3 (5.5 Oz) bottles at work. Now I can barely pump 2. It took me 3 months after my first baby turned one to wean my supply while pumping at work. Even mixing my expressed milk with whole milk. It took like 3 months cause I had a stash in the freezer too. I remember how happy I was to get my boobs back and feel more normal like ‘prepregnancy’ self. This time I’m super sad and not ready for it to be dwindling like this. I’m sad how fast time has gone. It’s just crazy to compare my two journeys with my two kids and how different each one was breastfeeding, sleeping, hitting each milestone, etc. I’m still want more kids in the future but my SO doesn’t. So I’m just having a hard time and although I’m trying to hold on I feel like I’m not able to reflect on the past year or even on my birth (which I would think about a lot as I held my first baby growing over her first year). It just feels like a blur for my second. It’s so sad 😭
