Oh the may thread is driving me absolutely crazy. I seriously have a hard time with the FTM "I'll never" statements and the "well I'm 'this' so I know what it's like to be a mom" justification for the "I'll never" statements. I feel like it diminishes the role of a mother when people who aren't mothers KNOW what it's like.

Thank you! I am rolling my eyes at these people. The Trout Slap of Reality will fall swiftly.
Congrats @Byjove03! :-q to all the pain @Encchanted Unable to open the link but still got super teary eyed just reading the words in the link @sparkymcgeee. Can not imagine seeing in person! Nooo @lizabethann06!! Hope for a speedy recovery!
Behind as usual. Still on page 4. G has been napping for 2hrs 15mins....sooo nervous!
This "it's not necessary" about BF photos on FB is making me ragey. It's no more "necessary" than someone's fucking sandwhich or goddamn gym routine. FFS there is nothing indecent about it. >.<

The nanny person also is the one who said a few weeks ago that homosexuals are persecuting Christians in this county.
What a long day! Dinner is prepared and ready to be eaten when LO and I are hungry and the kitchen has been cleaned. All the laundry is finished but not put away, ugh. One more thing to do before I can sit down and relax!!!
@lancomechica I need some spa help, and thought you might be the gal. DH and I want to get a couples massage this weekend with a tub soak before hand. We were going to try the Salamander Spa in Middleburg, but they are booked. Do you know anyone else in the area that does one?
Did you check Landsdowne Resort? They may do it too.
@PrimRoseMama now we're supposed to inform the people around us that we're about to "whip it out" so they can avert their eyes if they want to. Yeah. Cause that isn't begging for more attention than just nursing your kid.
I tell you!! The stupid is just out of control. It will be a cold day in hell before I advertise I'm about to breast feed. Fuck that! Fuck that all to bloody hell.
@maryannespier and others interested in BF pictures. This is my favorite ever! My friend Suzy in Las Vegas is a photographer but she is the model in this one Lisa J Holloway is photographer. Her daughter is about 2 yrs old in this picture. FYI this is on many photographer sites and they give permission for sharing.
@econmama obviously not convenient in public, but I heard side lying nursing is easier for women with large breasts if that is something you hadn't tried and wanted to next time
My son was a dragon for his first Halloween. I took a selfie breastfeeding him while he was dressed in costume & texted it to my sisters with "Mother of Dragons" written under it. I just couldn't resist the opportunity. (Game of Thrones reference)
But you don't have to worry about the bottom of your bikini top coming up over your boobs when you raise your arms because there is little there for it to grip to.
Big boob faction. Swim suit shopping is hell. I have no ass/hips but a monster chest. It makes no sense. I couldn't bf in bed either. Sitting up holding the boob while the kid was held in place by a pillow was how we rolled.
I still recall mil saying I dress slutty because you could tell I had boobs no matter what I wore. :-?
sorry guys - maybe a boob holder for bfing should be someone's million dollar idea.
Remember back when we all were still expecting and someone posted about a bunch of bfing must haves? I remember there being a boob wedge type thing for sleeping. It kept your boobs from pushing together. I laughed and thought it was bizarre.
There were many, many nights I wished I had this in the last year. Many, many nights.
Ooh big boob faction! :-h I was a 32 DD pre-baby but I'm more like a small D now. Ridiculous huge for the first few months of BFing. I also have no ass or hips (I shop in the Juniors section for pants X_X ) so dress and swimsuit shopping has always been interesting.

My thoughts on BFing in public and any laws that come with that...why....WHY is it so hard to just look away? Why should you be staring to the point it offends you that a mother is feeding her child. Why should she announce she is about to feed her child? Perhaps, I will start announcing out loud before I partake in ingesting anything as well....because it's not fair to my child. I feel like more people should be concerned by the amount of mothers who DONT feed their child...not how a mother feeds her child. There shouldn't even be a breastfeeding argument. It's the dumbest disagreement among humanity.
I was with my friend who is working very hard to breastfeed her 5 week old. She's very comfortable with nursing on front of me, and I watched her little guy unlatch and kind of snuggle onto her boob. I remember that so clearly from T's infant nursing days and it gave me all the feelings. :x
I am starting *starting* to get the baby rabies but I have to say I am glad to just be a DD again. Those pregnancy boobs and early nursing boobs were crazy!

Bedtime has been hell and still is. ( He's normally outwithin minutes of me rocking. Screaming bloody murder, flailing all around and kicking has been my night. I keep getting close to losing it so I put him in his crib and he just sobbs for me. So heartbreaking but what am I supposed to do? I go back after a few minutes, rock him, he calms down....and then screams again and fights me tooth and nail. He's been in and out of his crib three times. I really hate that DH is on second shift.
