A Revised Plan - Breastfeeding

I think that I am going to bring back my A.M. pump. If I do so, I can begin building a supply for Finnegan. Up until a few days ago, I pumped every morning for donation. I think I am going to keep the rest of the breastfeeding schedule like it is right now, as well, and not attempt to cut anymore sessions out -- for now.
It is very possible that night weaning will have been enough for fertility to return. If by the time Finnegan is 9 months and I have not gotten AF or a BFP, I will begin to wean him completely. If I have a supply built up in preparation for weaning, I may be able to continue giving him breast milk until he is one year old (probably complimentary to an infant formula.) I feel good about this plan.

On another note, I would like to make a little observation about temping. A lot of the charts I have seen of other women's temping shows more sporadic temperatures day to day. Nothing big, but just a few tenths of a degree difference from one morning to the next. So far, I have had the SAME temperature (97 degrees F) every morning since I began temping.
Well, that is not completely true. The second morning I had a temperature of 97.6 degrees F, but I have attributed the difference in temperature to having gone to bed very intoxicated the night before, so I do not count that one! I cannot wait until I see when I ovulate! I really hope it very soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
