The problem is that I'm really feeling sometimes that I've just had
enough - and it hurts quite often - I guess because of the pregnancy and
although I plan on just powering on I do worry that I won't have the same
commitment to feeding number 2 as I'll just be so sick of it - or will I
feel different as it will be a brand new little one?
If I plan on taking that one to 2 years it will be just over 4 years of
non stop nursing - I love it in principle, but feel like in practise I've
had enough.
Any thoughts?

I considered tandeming my older two boys (24mos apart). I ultimately
decided to wean my first during the pregnancy. He was not happy about it
but I was beyond ready to have him weaned. The baby was born 4mos later and
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed nursing the baby. It is
different then nursing a toddler and especially nursing during a pregnancy.
I was also surprised that my older son didn't ask to nurse at all. I
thought he might because he was so attached to it but nothing. I was
nursing the new baby when he first saw us and I think that was the perfect
thing to do. He seemed to just know that the baby was part of us and
belonged. He had always been quite panicky about pushing any other baby or
child off my lap so I was worried about it.

Congrats on the pg
