Despite my severe sickness, I felt a burning need to get the bassinet stuff washed and put together today. L helped me change the pink gingham liners and ribbon to the blue. I bought this inexpensive bassinet right before L was born, because we were in the process of moving. It's nothing fancy, but I like it. I do not feel like going up and down the stairs constantly to feed the baby while I am healing from my surgery...so this bassinet will be getting another use. I never thought I would get to use the blue ribbons (so fun!). Now, if I could only figure out what I did with my native carrier sling I would feel ready. Thankfully my sling is blue too, though I could use a second one, and I need to get one in Daniel's size too. The one I tried to make him was flimsy. Maybe if I try again with better fabric. Hmm, it couldn't possibly be my lack of sewing skills?

We love the comic Baby Blues!
that picture just about sums up my feelings about breast feeding. ;)
I was thinking the other day about that, definitely some pluses, definitely some minuses...strong smell of rotten milk and feeling of being sticky.
You would think this being my 4th round of BFing I would have a better attitude about it. But, it's just not my favorite thing. Of course, it seems like nowadays if you don't revel in the glory of breastfeeding until your child is 5, homeschool, avoid vaccinating, co-sleep, etc you are a "bad mom". Of course I'm also leaning toward a yes on the circumcision issue, which in some circles is akin to being a serial killer.
So, so true Erika! I can't figure out if everyone is becoming super crunchy or if it is just a fad. I seriously think that the internet is the source of all the conflict. I'm totally for better eating, less hormones being used in milk and chickens, you know more organic stuff in that aspect.
I breastfeed because I know it is good for my children, but I don't enjoy it all that much. I don't get some kind of high, superwoman thing off of it. If people want to do all those other things, then great, it works for them. I care about my children and what I do for them is what is best for me and for them and it is no one else business. Just as it is not my business what they decide to do for their children.
No matter what you decide you are a great mom!
Sorry for my tirade:)
So true, so funny. Mmmmmm cant say I miss the BF days.
Love the Bassinet!!!!!
Yeah. I'm all for breastfeeding, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it right?
