At 9 months you can start weaning her from one of her night feedings. I would do the one that is before midnight so that she will get used to sleeping longer before her next nursing session. When my youngest (she will be 3 on Saturday) was nursing she wanted be latched on 24/7 but I broke that early when she was about 3 weeks (very sore mama and very tired I was). Of my 3 children she was the longest nurser (14 months). Alot of the waking is from being a light sleeper and feeling like they are hungry when in actuality they just need the bond time. I wouldn't nurse but give her just some water from a cup so that she can also get used to drinking from a cup. It will be a struggle for both of you for the first week (maybe 2) but it will give you a break and the much needed rest.
