Have you read this babble article. I especially love the comment by M about needing legislation for men who sratch themselves in public if we're going to get specific about women breastfeeding in a very vague "as discreet as possible" way.
I think I'm done btw-with nursing that is. And now, on another too much information rant...many women, I'm told, get what I'm experiencing once they quit nursing. It's basiclaly a a huge hormonal imbalance that makes you have headaches, mood swings and other greatness. Anyone else know much about this secret? The funniest part is, I don't really drink much but, I've been loving having a few drinks here and there lately. I was told that a desire for alcohol is a symptom. (I call it a temporary treatment) Don't worry, I'm not an alcoholic, just a mom.
The hormonal deficiency shows up in bloodwork-I have proof (read: excuse).
Anyway, all the pregnant ladies and breastfeeding moms out there, enjoy the body bliss while you have it. Everything changes after that..(for a while, then it all balances out I'm told)
To keep as normal as possible, I'm thinking about the best things the summer brings (or "pretend summer" based on our weather in the northeast)
1. BBQs
2. The beach
3. Fireworks (always going off around here for some reason)
4. Bikerides
5. Swimming (please listen to "The Swimming Song" by Louden Wainwright after reading this-the version from "The Squid and the Whale")
6. Watching people go down the Slip and Slide
7. New York City at dusk
8. Freckles
9. Watermelon
10. Making and eating Strawberry Shortcake
