Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss Style!

Breastfeeding, Dr Seuss style!

Would you nurse him in a park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse him in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she's full.

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It's perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.

To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food.
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would never be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs, I'll always try.
It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma'am
I will nurse her, MOM I am.

CHIPS!

My new favorite thing

Blue Menu, Now Sodium Vegetable & Flaxseed tortilla Chips with

Yogurt dip. Not that sugar laden cream stuff that gets passed off as yogurt these days, but real, sometimes lumpy, sometimes watery with a strong tangy, yet refreshing taste.

free doodling

Have you tried it?

get your favorite writing utensil and your favorite writing pad.

don't feel pressure to write anything just doodle. Doodle when your sitting in front of the TV, doodle sitting in front of the computer.

See what comes out of you.

watching the world go by

just sitting and watching..

from behind the brick wall behind you comes the sound of someone walking. not just walking with a purpose, a rhythm. kaslosh kaslosh kaslosh laslosh out of the nothing comes a man in his 20s, head to toe black. sporting a grove with his head and shoulders. this all observed before you notice your new neighbour is letting his white puff of a dog out for a quick piss. I really don't think it can be that easy to urinate under duress?

I see a glint from the passing stranger, he is getting his grove on under the groovyest headset. Wide black (for lack of a better term) beer cups with brass antena and knobe tuners.

sickness sucks

I can't believe it happened again. When my daughter was a few months old I got strep throat and now that my son is 4 months old I got it again!.

What an awful thing strep is. You can't swallow without it feeling like shards of glass, The fever makes your skin crawl and your head pound, not to mention that pain in any form is exploded exponentially.

The trip to the hospital was very very long, although I was really only there for 2 hours, my Tylenol had warn off and I was shaky and achy. The Doctor comes in and said, so you diagnosed your self it's definitely strep. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

He didn't seem pleased with my fevered attempt at humor and handed me the prescription.

What they don't tell you is that even if you start your antibiotics right away it still takes 48 to 72 hours for the symptoms to START going away :( and seriously, how the hell do they expect you to swallow a pill when it hurts like hell just to swallow a smidgen of water!

Tylenol every 4 hours (two gigantic tablets!!) one sticky antibiotic every 6 hours, gargle (if you can) with salt water or Listerine. Quite the regime for someone who can't remember the last time she swallowed and doesn't really want to be reminded.

oh.. and did I mention the phlegm

the thick phlegm my body keeps producing against my orders, the phlegm that caused me to gag and puke.. yes I said puke... you thought swallowing with strep was bad, try that one.

24 hrs later that pesky phlegm keeps blocking my windpipe and making me panic that I can't breath.. the noises I make were guttural and primitive but got the job done.

I'm going back to bed
