If that was the last, it was perfect

Our family just got very very sick. Like nothing I have ever seen. I don't want to go into much detail as I hope to forget this ever happened- BUT it had a positive effect. It has actually helped in the weaning process (I think). I was so sick I could not produce much milk, so I have been letting Jovie know that it is going away, etc.

I am such a dork, I asked Damon to take a picture of us. I have none of her nursing and I kinda wanted something physical to remember this by. Yes silly, perhaps creepy to some. I don't care. It is beautiful to me.

Damon took some pictures and Jovie and I snuggled and played. She did not ask for "more" after one side (which is different and good). And then she started tickling me and we played peek a boo and she hugged me without provocation. I picked her up to take her to her crib and she nestled her head on my shoulder, wrapped her arms around my neck and let me squeeze her to my heart's content.

SO- if this is the end, and part of me hopes that it is, this was the kind of way I wanted it to go... A bit like a break up, you know? You want that one last perfect kiss.

Those with virgin eyes, or anyone related to me who wishes not to see me in this manner, AVERT YOUR EYES NOW!


From Nursing, Jovie


I would say that is a beautiful note to end on, should this movement of our symphony be over~

Oh Lauren, that is a beautiful picture. and I know what you mean. I have a few pics of nursing Liam, but not nearly as many I would like. And none of the ones I do have are as beautiful as that one. That one should be framed IMO.
