It's my freaking birthday!

That's right folks...the hubby did it right this year! We went to Tucson and spent a lovely evening at the El Conquistador!  We swam in the pool, watched the olympics in our cozy bed, and walked all over that place...like 5 miles...I'm not kidding)

Dinner at PF Changs (which Tyler hates, which makes this a significant point)

Shopping at 2 malls (which Tyler also hates and I didn't buy anything and he didn't complain ONCE)

Gelato (Alpencarmel= creme brulee burnt sugar and gianduia=chocolate/hazelnut  SOOO GOOOD)

Midnight trip to Taco Bell (nachos bell grande and cinnamon twists)

It was our first night away from our sweet baby who stayed with her grandma Curtis.  According to grandma she was great and as terrible as it sounds...Tyler and I were also great.  It was a much needed break for this momma.  I just wrapped up 13 months of non-stop baby due to breastfeeding so it was so nice to have some Tyler time :)

P.S.

The garden's a bust....more watering neccesary maybe? 

I got sprouts, so according to my intial post here, I'm not allowed to be mad.

ugh....

please excuse the pride

So hang in with me for a few paragraphs while I roll in my own glory....hahaha

As you can tell from my prior post I was anxiously anticipating the end of my breastfeeding experience.  (which by the way I realized boiled down to my irrational fear of not having a constant source of available nourishment) Anyway....

There are blogs and posts and forums and websites and experts dedicated to helping moms wean their children.  Tonight, I put my sweet baby in bed after her bath NO nursing and she fell asleep as soundly and quietly as ever. 

Here is where the pride comes in...haha...I think I did myself a huge favor by following the eat, play, sleep routine and only nursing her before sleeping when it was time for bed. I usually rocked her with her pacifier to lay her down (and I also realize how lucky I am she took a pacifier).

Who knows if it will work for the rest of my sweet peas, but in the meantime, I am SO excited it went so well, especially because I was SO prepared for it to go so badly. 

the end. sorry. i know this was awkward.  :)
