But I appreciated her good intentions... it just wasn't helping me in the way it was intended. <br /><br />And I am a medical professional, indeed, but my patients are usually healthy little kids -- i do pediatric primary care.

And the "wow factor" keeps going higher. The stress of any of the following three: Living in NY; Singlemomedness; and being a medical professional for sick little kids would break me. You do all three and who knows how much more. <br /><br />Even if the nurse didn't really care about your kid, at least she was trying to be kind and comforting. Of course I bet by then you weren't in the mood for it.

Hope those tears are dried up. I hear you on the end of nursing and feeling very sentimental about it. I let Rowan nurse a few last times in the early morning as we were weaning mostly because I wasn't ready for the last time to be over. It's probably been three weeks since then and I am nostalgic about it every once and a while but all in all--it's been nice to get my body back. I've been mainlining Diet Coke and had my first tuna rolls tonight since I got pregnant. Hope your transition goes smoothly as well!

Good luck and hopefully no more 90 minute waits at the doc's.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341444268342551783noreply@blogger.com
