We sat in the rocking chair... read an extra book, told stories (she likes the three little piggies story because I blow on her hair when I do the big bad wolf part), sang a few songs, we snuggled, and then she reached up and gave me a kiss and then put her head back down and snuggled in and closed her eyes. Usually I lay her in her bed awake so she can go to sleep on her own, but tonight I just couldn't put her down.... I let her fall asleep in my arms and then I just sat there and watched her sleep.

A&A'smommy replied: aww deedee!!!! (((BIG HUGS))) and i think that holding your baby while they sleep is a wonderful and precious moment!!! Thats just soo sweet!!!!

Jamison'smama replied: Awwe, poor mommy, I wonder if we will ever get to the point of Jama going to sleep without nursing. What a tough moment that will be---so big hugs to you but how rewarding to have her sleeping in your arms. There are just too few days of that so take advantage now--you will remember those times fondly.

mummy2girls replied: AWWWW. I dont nurse so i dont know that feeling but when jenna weaned herself away from me rocking herself to sleep i bawled. I always treasured that time with her....

kit_kats_mom replied: Awww. What a big girl she is getting to be. I'm sure that must be hard on you though, even though you kinda suspected it may be coming soon. Sometimes though, I kinda wish K would work towards that. She's been in bed since 7:30 and I 've been in there to nurse her back to sleep 4 times already.

BTW, I love your new siggy. She is so darn adorable

amynicole21 replied: sniff, sniff... I want to offer you some big old hugs Such a big change in her life, but it can only mean that you've done everything right!! Bravo

Kaitlin'smom replied: awww I know how you feel Kaitlin hardly ever want to nurse any more sometimes she will go a few days and not ask then all the sudden she will want some. Its sad how fast they grow up. Buts its very sweet they way she went to sleep, I would take that anyday.

MomToMany replied: What a hard time that must be. Lots of {{{HUGS}}} to you, Dee Dee! But she knows how to make up for it ! She's SUCH a sweetheart ! You've done a WONDERFUL job, Mommy !

coasterqueen replied: Awww how sweet and sad at the same time. I'm like a few others here, I wonder if Kylie will ever get to this point. I know I will be sad when she weans, but I wonder if I will get to reach my goal and she will self-wean or I will have to wean her myself. Weaning her myself will break my heart so I'm hoping if I get pg this fall she will slowly wean then. Even though if she weans when I'm pg that is not self-weaning, I will still be ok with it that way

((HUGS)) and savor every moment you get.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: You have me in tears!!! I was talking to my best friend last night (Carsyn's mom) and she said they are already thinking of trying for another baby b/c Carsyn is growing up so fast. She is only 6 mos old. She said she let Carsyn fall asleep on her last night before putting her down b/c she knows that she won't be able to do that much longer. Really it goes by so fast. Maddie won't let me rock her or hold her while she sleeps anymore. It is sad to me b/c it seems like yesterday that I was nursing her to sleep and holding her close.

CantWait replied: As fustrating as it is to always have to nurse Anthony to sleep, you made me think. I'm so sorry Ashley is growing up so fast. Big hugs to you

kimberley replied: that's gotta be tough and not something i am looking forward to either. it sounds like such a beautiful moment you shared snuggling though.

3_call_me_mama replied: I know what you mean! It's been about a week adn a half since Cameron went to sleep without nursing and the other day he came up to me and rubs my chest and says" mama milk" adn tried to lift my shirt. I had to tell him that there was no more milk but he could cuddle, so he climbed up in my lap and snuggled and fell asleep. Part of me wanted to let him nurse but another part of me knew it was best to just let him cuddle instead and let him grow up .
