I am comfortable now to say that Peyton is weaned. It has almost been a week since he last nursed. I was thinking about this last night this is the first time in years that I don't feel limited on what I can do. Being pregnant I would obviously avoid stuff that would not be health for the baby. When I was pregnant with Sophie I was kind of strict on myself I would not drink caffeine at all if I drink any soda it was like Sprite. It didn't get any better after she was born when I started breastfeeding I was consistently worried about what I ate and how it would effect Sophie. I would limit spicy foods, fatty foods, and still would barely drink caffeine. Probably for the first 4 months of her life I mostly ate bland food. Although I knew a lot of things would not effect her or hurt her I would still worry. I also worried that she wasn't getting enough milk from me. Looking back I was kind of stressed out with her. With Peyton I was more relaxed but still I was consistently thinking and worrying about how my actions would effect him. I never felt comfortable drinking any alcohol. I can remember buy like wine and I want it to relax but really it didn't help because I would be so worried that the baby would get sick from it. It is just really weird for me not to think about these things before I eat or drink anything. I love my children, I love being pregnant and breastfeeding. For the last three years I was either pregnant or breastfeeding....or both lol. I have struggled with my weight for a long time now even before I was pregnant with Sophie. I am definitely not one of those mothers who blames being bigger on her pregnancies. I was bigger before that, while breastfeeding with both of my children I would trying to lose weight but always worried about how it would effect them and my milk supply. Plus I feel like it was almost an excuse for me not to be serious about losing the weight. Now that I am neither pregnant or breastfeeding I have no excuse. My older sister and I are starting weight watchers I am hoping that I will stick to it this time. I wish I was closer to family and friends so I could have a better support system. My husband isn't much help lol last night he told me that he would support me by eating all the food so I wouldn't eat it he's crazy...lol I was watching TV last night and I swear every other commercial was about food.
Tim better watch it, just because he isn't extremely overweight, doesn't mean he is healthy inside. He needs to eat healthy with you! Just think, I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the last seven years of my life...lol Congrats on weaning, I probably have a few more years before I reach that point.
