Waiting...

Not a lot has been happening on the donor front here as we really have to wait until my littlest boy is weaned from breastfeeding. So in other words, life goes on.

I had a phone call from the clinic yesterday touching base about that. No pressure, of course, but I feel more than ready to take the next steps... except with regards to weaning.

Littlest person is nearly 10 months and is still having 2 feeds a day, plus some comfort sucking/food at night (really need to get onto tackling that so we can all have a bit more sleep!)

I'm much more ready to stop breastfeeding at this point now though than with my first. I think partially as I had so many issues with latching/blocked ducts/the dreaded mastitis with my first boy so it felt so triumphant to go until 15/16 months. With this one, I feel much less connected in terms of feeding (does that even make sense?) so I'm quite keen to stop sooner rather than later. (in other terms, I'm a wee bit over it) 

Hubby and I had our first argument about this yesterday though. He thinks I'm rushing it to even think about weaning in the next couple of months. 

Part of my thinking was to do the donation in the university holidays which would mean less stress for hubby, but perhaps that was wishful thinking. 

Still right on board to do this, but might have to think about timing a bit more seriously over the next month as the clinic will be due to call me again then.
