Kirsten, hope you're feeling better with the next week.

I'm not at all bored or brain fried, but then I'm still in denial about having a baby sometimes! I get a bit in need of an adult conversation, but I have more now I am at home because I can call girlfriends and see their babies too! We went to the park today and saw some friends, DS went on the swings (and came out after 15 minutes because he started to try to lick the swing). I can just "switch off" when DS goes to bed and curl up with a book or a film. I also love the fact that when he wakes up in the morning he will just play next to me - I get woken up with a tiny finger up my nose rather than by a screaming baby!

I have lazy days where DS has a lot of alone-time (not so that he cries, just without me hovering), lots of time going out for coffee, computer time while he naps... I really enjoy having "me"-time.

Kel, if you want to stop breastfeeding no-one will think badly of you. You can still get your body (and your clothes and your fertility) back by dropping down to just a morning and nighttime feed. You don't even have to do that. Getting to six months, as I said to Lisa, is a big achievement. Many people stop at 4 months or before in the UK. Very, very few do more than a year. DH always said teeth would mean an end to BFing, lucky me he has stopped saying this, but DS has the odd formula bottle and this is good for me as it means I can go out without DS even if it is just for an hour or so.
