Siiiiigggghhhh. Please excuse the following lament... I have a bad case of the winter blues. No energy at all and just the pervasive feeling that I DON'T WANNA.
I have loved being able to breastfeed and knowing what benefits it has for my LO but lately I don't particularly enjoy it. She wriggles and hums and twiddles and pulls back... and now that she has the word 'boo' at her disposal, she is requesting to be fed about 20 times a day.
On top of that I have absolutely NO libido. None. Nudda. I give DH just enough to keep his needs met but I never initiate and most of the time I really struggle to enjoy it. I'm really missing that intimacy and passion but since I've been breastfeeding I've totally lost my mojo.
I was / am planning on feeding 'till DD is at least 2 but for the past few weeks, I'm really losing my will to stick with it. I know in my heart of hearts it really comes down to this lack of energy I'm feeling right now. There's a part of me that's feeling really selfish and wanting to protect any reserves I have left. Somewhere... hidden right now... there's gotta be that other part that wants to stick with it.
So help me get past this slump... inspire me... I need a boost from you lovely ladies to keep me going.
