Just wanted to update... I arrived home this afternoon after a lovely, but very mentally and physically challenging, week in Tassie. I missed the kids terribly, but feel a real sense of accomplishment in what I achieved and I'm glad that I went despite my anxiety at leaving my babies. I was able to call home a couple of times, when reception was available - generally on top of a bloody big mountain! DH assured me that the kids were fine and that Miss P really only missed me around bed time, which is her favourite feed of the day (and mine!). DH and Miss P picked me up from the airport and she clung to my neck whilst I cried! She slipped her hand down my top but didn't ask for boob until we were in the car... We have been home for a few hours since picking the big kids up from school and it would seem Miss P has no intention of weaning! I needed to hand express in the evenings while I was away and I still have a supply. I have mixed feelings about DD continuing to feed as I had prepared myself for her to wean. At this stage, my intention is to distract her during the day and feed in the evenings as this works well for both of us... Most of the time!

Thank you for your support, ladies.
