Wheezing and Weaning

Lydia has been kinda wheezy lately. I don't know if it's because she's nice and chubby or because she's having a hard time breathing. Lydia's pediatrician's nurse said that since she only wheezes when she's happy, she's probably just catching her breathe. I mean, she's still very happy and has no fever or cough or anything; maybe I'm just being paranoid.

So, I've also been weaning Lydia from me these last couple weeks and it has been going pretty well, despite some engorgement at the beginning. I currently nurse her three times and day, which will be reduced to two times a day tomorrow. Lydia will still be taking breastmilk that I had pumped and stored a couple months back just for this occasion. The whole process is kinda sad; I'm losing one of the main connections I have with my baby. "sigh" Well, there's always the next one.
