End of an era

The end of breastfeeding Evan is approaching. Evan has only been waking up once the past 3 nights, and I only breastfeed him at night. So my boobs have had a break, and they seem very ok to slow down production.

To make things worse, I had to dump the remaining of my frozen breastmilk stash. I only had 41 oz there, and I was trying to see if Evan would take them. But when I thawed a couple of bags, I realized the fat wasn't really mixing with the milk, the milk looked watery, while the fat remained in weird clumps in the bag. Not a good sign. It didn't smell too great either, so I decided to err on the side of caution and dumped it all down the drain. Sigh, what a waste...

And so breastfeeding will end soon for us. Though I only get to feed Evan in the dark now and I can't really see him, I still enjoy doing it. Only a few days more, and it'll be over. I'm ready for this, but it's still a little heartbreaking.
