My first abruptly stopped at 13 months when I became pregnant. I didn't even know it at the time so it was weird to have my 3x daily breastfeeding baby just suddenly stop. It made sense a few weeks later.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983161969233970719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805880388705322769.post-22905058836045368362009-07-18T17:20:14.098-07:002009-07-18T17:20:14.098-07:00The hat is flattering on the young man..The hat is flattering on the young man..Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103446089299198799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805880388705322769.post-67919320103866448082009-05-04T22:23:00.000-07:002009-05-04T22:23:00.000-07:00Hi Mommy Project!

But, you said it all much better that I could have. <br /><br />And the pic. of little man's hands is *gorgeous*! Did you take that? Great job!<br /><br />:)Mommy Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425466393452094577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805880388705322769.post-44701172922769988332009-05-03T06:49:00.000-07:002009-05-03T06:49:00.000-07:00Makarios,

I've studied the teachings and histories of the world's major religions, and I have come to conclusions that make sense to me. I don't demand that you agree with my conclusions, but I do ask that you respect them.<br /><br />And I would argue that atheists, as a subset of humanity, have given far more thought to these questions than those who believe blindly in that which can not be proven.<br /><br />Peace to you on your journey, <br />LexiAlexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848145692193627164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805880388705322769.post-58015165436432818632009-05-03T06:44:00.000-07:002009-05-03T06:44:00.000-07:00Pantrygirl and Elita, thank you so much for your c...Pantrygirl and Elita, thank you so much for your comments.

Of course, the only reason that your milk turns into eyelashes is because of a written code, a code so large that it could fill the encyclopedia britanica. As an atheist you simply don't think about Who wrote the code.Thesauroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305052511095551483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805880388705322769.post-21505871871773151062009-05-02T10:35:00.000-07:002009-05-02T10:35:00.000-07:00amen, sister.

I'm obsessive compulsive and it sounds awful but even though i had a very difficult time initially with breastfeeding, it was the one thing I felt as if I had control over.<br /><br />We are still breastfeeding and will allow our daughter to self wean as well.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing what I've been feeling as well. <br /><br />Your boy is adorable, by the way!
