Qualms of Conscience

Last night went better - except putting him to sleep in the evening. He was all sorts of upset. It's hard to deny him when he is so obviously upset. Aaron and I had a long conversation after we got him to sleep as to whether we were doing the right thing. I don't want to deny Ian anything that is so easy to give and he so adamantly wants and as parents, of course we don't want Ian to feel bad. Ultimately though, we decided to continue trying to wean. Partially because we have come this far and I think there is a lot to be said for consistency. It's not good to teach him that when we say no, we really mean maybe. So whether we are right or wrong in weaning him before he wants to stop nursing, we have started down the path and so will continue. It has to happen sometime and Mom's biological clock is ticking. And things did go better last night. We might have reconsidered if Ian was up all night but he just woke up once. I will let you know how things go tonight.

Ian has his doctor appointment tomorrow and then all of us took a 3 day weekend because Whitney, Joe and Ashton are coming up. I'm looking forward to that. Our apartment will be a mad house with Ian and Ashton tearing it up! Then we can decide if we are really prepared for the possibility of two boys!
