June 26th Scarlet's Garden Party

On Wednesday, my dear friend Jason hosted a Garden Party for baby Scarlet.  The weather was just beyond beautiful and his backyard looked like it was straight out of the pages of a mag.  It was so wonderful to get out of the house and visit with great friends.  I even had a little afternoon delight in the form of a alcoholic beverage with a hibiscus in it!  It really was a fantastic way to spend the day.

June 17th '13

Top three weirdest places that I've breast fed:

3. The disabled stall in the women's washroom at the Glencoe Club.

2. In the back seat of my SUV parked in a back alley.

1. Locked in the drama prop and storage room sitting on a styrofoam fake fountain at Central Memorial High School.  UNCOMFORTABLE!


But she's worth it...




For some reason, even though I pump and save a ton of milk, Scarlet doesn't always want to take a bottle when we're out.  So, I've got to improvise.  I'm not totally comfortable just whipping the twins out (especially when I'm visiting at the school, or my parents house with all my bros, or the mall for that matter), so I either have to stake out a private quiet area to feed her or just go home with a screaming/starving baby in the backseat.  I would rather stay.  But a huge kudos to the mommies out there that have the courage to feed without hiding away in a drama storage room somewhere.  I'm working on it.

Thank GOD for good husbands

Nate has been absolutely incredible throughout this entire experience.  I can't praise him enough for his thoughtful and considerate acts, from getting up with me every single night during feedings, to vacuuming the entire house in under 20 minutes - heck as I'm writing this post, he's rocking Scarlet in his arms, calming her down so that she can just relax.  I think this is hour three...

For all those ladies out there that know what I'm talking about, good work in picking this type of guy.  Because as amazing and loving and caring and loyal that I know they all are, they are also extremely rare.  Thank goodness I got one of these seemingly extinct breeds.
