Some thoughts on Weaning

I’ve been breastfeeding for almost 20 months now. I never thought I would reach this far but I did with a lot encouragement and support from loved ones. Since B.boy will now be two years old in a couple of months, I’m seriously thinking about weaning. My dad even suggested this as he noticed that B.boy has been super attached to mommy. I never get anything done at home because B.boy just wants mommy and mommy alone all the time. Then sometimes I miss wearing my regular clothes. I miss those cute dresses that I wore pre-mommy days. But the biggest factor why I’m thinking of weaning are the unusual stares and unsolicited advices I get whenever I breastfeed the little boy in public. Then most of the time, B.boy would do acrobatics and would sometimes pull off all of the sudden causing an embarrassing exposure of the boobs.

However, the intimacy and bond that this breastfeeding relationship forged between us is the ultimate stopper of weaning plans. I know I will miss those sweet moments that we are sharing once he stopped nursing altogether. Sometimes I think it’s some sort of drug and we’re addicted to it. I think we both need to go to a drug rehabilitation. Hahaha! Just kidding! But I guess, I have to start the weaning process once he hits 24 months. I’m planning to do it slowly so that it won’t be difficult for both of us. After all at some point of his life he will really have to stop and I have to accept that too. He’s growing and I must grow up with him.

B.boy at the Hall

I just love this picture of B.boy take from my sister’s camera phone recently. This was taken a few Sundays ago at the step of our Kingdom Hall. He looked so grown up in this photo. And look! Naka cross legs pa sha. Hahaha!

He now knows a lot of people at the hall. He would approach each one of them after the meeting and say their names. There was even one sister who adores him so much and gives him chocolates every time. They said B.boy has a very good memory. As of this writing he can say 18 of the people’s names at the hall. He can match the faces too.

Prostate Cancer

Do you know that Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men and the third leading cause of male cancer deaths? I have one officemate whose dad has one. It is hard to detect, as it shows no symptoms when it’s at its early stage. Here are common prostate cancer symptoms that a patient may experience when the tumor becomes more advanced:

Weak urinary stream
Inability to urinate
Interruption of urinary stream
Frequent unrination
Pain or burning during urination
Blood in urine

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non invasive treatment for Prostate cancer that uses sound waves to heat and destroy tissue in the prostate. Doctors has been using this procedure since 1990s. It uses the power of ultrasound to destroy deep-seated tissue with pinpoint accuracy for treatment of prostate cancer. HIFU is a 1-3 hour, one-time procedure performed on an out-patient basis under spinal or epidural anesthesia.
