Morning Playtime
|
|
|
Have a great partner. If you can possibly help it, have a
wonderful, caring, supportive, loving, kind, gentle, respectful, and
understanding partner. This will take a bit of pre-planning on your part but
trust me when I tell you, it's totally worth it.

We took BC to the Greek Festival today. We were gone for
several hours and what with all the sight, sounds, and smells, he was just
too distracted to nurse. This lead to two things occurring: my breasts
getting super full and uncomfortable, and BC getting super hungry and fussy
in the car on the way home.
What to do? Well, since my discomfort was also a potential
health issue, and since I had actually learned from past experience and left
my hand-expression cup in the car for emergencies, I went ahead and
hand-expressed a tiny bit of milk to relieve some pressure. The
hand-expression cup that I have is attached to a bottle but the bottle is
sans nipple. But since BC was becoming more and more fussy and difficult to
distract I decided to go ahead and try to give him the milk I had just
expressed.
Let me tell you, a 4-month old drinking from a cup is pretty
stinking cute to watch. I was really impressed with how quickly BC figured it
out, actually. He got most of it in him and it was just enough to quell his
hunger until we got home. This new skill of his will come in handy in the
future, methinks.
And oh yeah, during the hand-expressing and breast
milk-in-a-cup-to-baby-feeding, my husband was driving. I'm not that
good at multitasking.

16 ½
years ago we entered the baby-proofing world.
We were first time parents and so careful with everything. Every outlet was covered, baby gates up
throughout the house, locks on all the cabinets and drawers and we even went
to the extreme of duct taping towels to end tables and coffee tables. Yes duct tape, which was the end of that
furniture when we removed the tape.
Times have changed and today I purchased my first and very important
baby-proofing item, an iPhone case. Priorities
people! J

I think BC gets weary of me taking his picture all the time.
Sometimes I think, if he could talk, he'd say, "hey mom, exersaucer
THIS!"

Yeah,
I’m convinced!
