The Tides Are Changing

This morning began as it normally does. I wake up, do my thing then attempt to nurse Roo. Yes, you read that right, attempt. I pulled out the boppy, got situated, pulled Roo into my lap... and nothing.

She wanted NOTHING to do with me or my boobs.

I switched sides hoping that would help... nothing again.

I had my husband get a sippy cup of milk and she didnt' even want that. All she wants right now is her pacifier and her tag blanket.

:(

I feel so rejected.

I had noticed yesterday that when she nursed, it wasn't for very long and even her night-time nursing was significantly shorter. Does this mean it's time? Is she done with nursing?

Done with me? Is this where it all begins? From here on she doesn't need me and will walk around embarassed by me, proclaiming her independence?

Oh, my boobs hurt just thinking about it.

I always said she would wean herself when she's ready... maybe she's ready.

But I'm not... :(
