Just got back from the Highland Games! had an amazing time with some good friends. River and I are back home now, chilling in the amazing air conditioning, and EXHAUSTED! It was really hot and sunny out today, so I'm downing water while she nurses. I had meant to bring a camera to the games, but with everything else I've been carrying around it just got left behind.
I used my new sling for the first time. We decided to go with a Maya Sling from Cutie Poops and Bottoms because it seemed to be the most versatile and provide the best support for a newborn while being in the lower price range (I won't say cheap, because no baby carrier seems to be cheap!)
I've decided that my bobbies are my super power! No matter where I am, I have easy access to the best thing to feed my baby. They're also a great way to bond with her and sooth her. I never have to fully wake up to feed her at night (unless she's being a fuss-butt). And I don't have to carry around any bottles, formula, water, etc...
I decided that this post needed a picture, and I've found this breastfeeding picture beautiful for a while now :-)
Tomorrow River and I will be driving up to my parents' house, and then on to my grandparents' for fathers day ^.^ it'll be the first time introducing River to my extended family. Unfortunately, like today, J is pulling a double tomorrow... so that kinda sucks.
Well, I have a snoring baby asleep on my boob. Life is good.
love this pic! I am ashamed to say I took a pic down of a shot I had like this of myself up on facebook after I got a couple OMG comments....I know I should not be embarrassed at all as I totally agree they are amazing for nourishing my baby and I am so proud of myself for breastfeeding my little girl :) Thanks for sharing and being proud too!
