Hiya,
Just got back from a fab holiday in Menorca a week is nowhere near long enough!! Ha! Freezing at home just reading your posts about what to put little ones in over night and I am totally confused since getting back because it feels chilly. Aaron loves his blanket its a proper little duvet and he seems quite attached to it so he has that and before we went on holiday he was in shorts and t-shirt p-j's but has been in long sleeve pj's the last 2 nights. Will probably add a vest underneath when it gets to winter and might try him in his sleeping bag again but he doesn't seem to like them anymore.
Sinn on the moses baskets Aaron really liked his and slept in it great from birth to about 15 weeks so not a long time but he was a big baby. Our bedroom is not huge so it was just right to have next to the bed and then we actually moved him into his cot in his own room at 16 weeks as he started sleeping through the night and had outgrown the basket. I remember being really nervous but it was the best thing really as he was used to his bed and his own space from a young age.
Well our ttc baby no 2 journey has started already. My AF came early my cycle was only 23 days which is a bit strange as my cycles are normally 26-27 days I remember from last time I always ovulated on day 10 or 11 so not sure where I am up to really this time around. I am on cd 13 today and I am pretty positive I ovulated on Saturday which would be cd 11 but who knows really!! Had lots of time with hubby on hol so we might be in for a chance! Ha!
I have still been breastfeeding Aaron just once a day for the last few months in the mornings and I always wanted or hoped he would self wean and that it would happen before baby no 2 came along. Strangely with no pushing from me or anyone else he woke up on holiday on Thursday morning and didn't want it and hasn't asked for it since which is totally out of the blue he is normally desperate for it in the morning and shouts mummy mummy mummy until he gets what he wants ha!
I am a bit confused with how I feel about it though, on one hand I am so pleased it happened when I wanted it to without fuss and it was his choice entirely. But on the otherhand i feel so sad it has finally come to an end it has been really difficult to breastfeed him for such a long time I suddenly feel a bit useless and its so silly but that he doesn't need me anymore.
He is such an independent funny little thing so pleased we had such a strong bond for all this time I just sometimes feel that I spend so much time away from him with work that I hope he still feels that bond with me that I feel to him. Sorry for the soppy verse feeling a bit emotional .... end of a journey!!
Beginning of a new one soon I hope xx
