I`m feeling really overwhelmed and torn today. I am weaning Adia and it is really hard! Not for her, but for me. I am weaning her because this DAMN fibromyalgia is kicking my butt and I need to be able to take paind medication when I need it. In my mind I know it`s o.k to wean her now because she`s seven months old and she`s eating baby food well and she`s taking formula and I know she`s gotton all of the important stuff she needed from me, for some reason I feel like I`m failing her. I have this thing in my mind that if I don`t admit that I have fibro, then it won`t be there. Even though it has changed my life comepletely. I can`t push myself like I could, I`m wore out, my body hurts, and I HATE IT! I don`t want to be this way. I can`t keep trying to push myself through it either. I can`t be a good mom when I`m in pain. I keep trying to tell myself it`s ok, but my heart isn`t listening. I`m just having a crappy day!
I understand about the weaning thing I nursed my youngest who is now 7 for a little over a year but my fibro and everything was not that bad then, be proud and feel good about doing it for 7 months I give you alot of praise for that knowing how the fibro pain can get to you and I hate it to its so hard just do the best you can and also take care of you and you are not failing her your a great Mom and yes it is hard sometimes to be a good mom when your in pain but it sounds like you are very stong but you do need to get back on your pain meds to help you with the pain..so you can be the Best Mom you can Be thats all we can do as Mothers is know we do the Best we can .. my thoughts and prayers are with you and little Angel.. hugs, Jody
