Shew!

I realized today that I have turned into one of those moms. One of the moms that I said I would never be like, I was never going to let my baby sleep in my bed or never extend breast feeding. I have done both :) Well maybe not considered an extended breast feeding mother just yet but we are working on it. We are just a little over two months away from being a year. It is the best thing I could do for my baby. I love the time we have together and the bond that we have developed. I'm sure we would have bonded otherwise but not like we have with breast feeding. Only mom mom gets kisses from Annie. Daddy just gets hits!

Seriously, I didn't want her to bed in our bed. For the first few weeks she wasn't but then I realized I didn't need to lose sleep if she slept with me, I could feed her laying down. From that time on she slept through the night or if she woke up she just nursed herself to sleep again. Seriously we have the best baby and are probably the most well rested parents around or at least I get plenty of rest. We are thinking about getting a co sleeper to put beside our bed, as a transition to her crib, if we don't get one for Annie we will get one with our next baby. We will probably need it more then since Annie will probably still be in our bed. We are running out of room as it is and its a king, the cats take up half of it and Annie the other half. There really is nothing better than waking up and seeing her pretty smiling face, when she moves to her room I will miss that.
