Clive thinks I’m crazy for caring, but I really hope that new moms and future moms who are reading this breastfeed. I can be difficult at the beginning, but it’s so worth it in the end. I was a a breastfeeding meeting the other day and learned that in Nova Scotia about 90% of women […]

I nursed Ash in the drive-thru lineup at McDonalds last weekend. I’ve done this before at a drive-thru (Thanksgiving, I think) when we were stuck in line for over HALF AN HOUR!
Now thinking about it more, I’ve done it several times- whipping out a boob and putting it in his mouth while he’s […]

Ash consumes my life! I suck at updating, and this is the most important blog that I really should be updating.
He’s going through his three month growth spurt at the moment. I feel like my boobs are in constant use. He’s also really needy, and I can hardly put him down to give myself […]

A boob-in-the-mouth-smile is about the best thing I’ve ever seen. It happened for the first time this morning when I chanted “boobie boobie boobie” to the tune of an old Nintendo game. Whatever works!
Plans are in the making for Clive and I to go on a date in a couple of weeks, to his staff’s […]

I did some serious damage to my butt during labour. Sixteen days later, and the pain is overwhelming. I don’t remember the pain in my tailbone/butt cheeks right after the birth, probably because my va-jay-jay hurt so FUCKING much, but since the swelling and 90% of the pain has subsided in that area, I […]

To no surprise, the first week of breastfeeding was pretty difficult.
I was absolutely adamant about not bringing formula into the picture. There was no way it was going close to my baby’s lips, unless he was dying or it was some other equally-horrible reason.
I nursed him within the first hour of […]

We had a visit from the public health nurse today. Her visit is two-fold: one, I’m positive she was here to check things out and make sure that we are in a safe environment (therefore there was lots of cleaning up before her arrival!) and second, she is there to help with anything that I […]
