danitaec I think you posted that link on the 15 toys to buy in the first year. Thank you for posting that. I am trying those toys out first before investing in an exersaucer.
DD is starting to make using a cover difficult but I cannot nurse without it in public. I cantcan't manage to keep covered myself covered enough during the process.
It is so hard to nurse in public anymore with DS. he gets so distracted and unlatches. I can't even nurse in my living room anymore because of DH, the dog or the TV making noise.
We had a play date today with my nephew (10 months) and a little boy who is almost 2 months. He is already bigger than my little peanut, but it seems like the 2 month stage was so long ago. He wasn't as interactive and just seemed so new.
It always seems to be going so quickly, but I feel so far removed from the newborn stage already.
I look at DS and think to myself where the heck did my baby go? He looks like a little adult now. especially when he wears t shirt and shorts. Already growing up way too fast.

aggiebug I never figured out the nursing cover. I do the two shirt method (one up, one down) and use my hand to cover my nip if necessary. Or the side of DS's face when he wants to just smile up at me instead of eating haha. I'm a 36 DDD (tho may be more like a DD now that I've regulated) so I've got a fair bit of boob to cover but not tons. It's also gotten easier as I've gotten less leaky. I'm also not very hung up on modesty, so if someone sees my nip for a second or so while I convince DS to latch, hey it's obvious what I'm doing, turn away. Or not. I don't care. If I don't have the two shirt method or don't feel like it and pull both down, sometimes I rest my free hand on the top of my boob while he nurses so it's covered. Also I vote take out.

DS does better nursing in a restaurant than he does in our living room at home. If DH comes in the nursery to talk to me, DS unlatches and does crazy acrobatics to try to see him, but I can nurse in Chilis on a Friday night with minimal problems.
I keep trying to wake DD who is sleeping on me because her bed time is in an hour and a half and I should cook dinner. But she wakes up so mad because she doesn't want to be awake.
Maybe I should use this as an excuse for take out hmm. Even if I may regret it tomorrow. Decisions decisions.
This is my exact same situation right now. The struggle is real

Yay Chicago! What are you gonna do up here, besides hang out in my bushes?
we are going to the Dead shows. It will be a circus! My sister lives there, so we will probably also go sailing on Lake Michigan and hang out with my niece a bit. But mainly the shows.
I'm jealous! I went to the Dead in CA in 2000. That was right before I found out that I had an "uh-oh" and was pregnant with DS1. My carefree concert days were numbered after that. :/ Have fun!
A friend posted this on FB. If you have an iPhone, ask Siri what happens when you divide zero by zero.
My husband just had me do this today. There were a few other ones too. Ask her "what does the fox say" (there are several responses) and "why are fire trucks red"
lilyelayne what do you wear for the undershirt? I can't do a nursing tank with my boobs (too big ) I feel like because they are big it takes more maneuvering on my part that I just can't get done without flashing the entire world.
I also pretty modest so I know I would be flustered and that wouldn't help the situation.

Big boobs here too. I just wear cheap tank tops with adjustable straps. I don't think I've ever bought nursing specific clothing except a bra.
Related rant: why is my nursing bra so high cut?! Not that I wear a lot of low cut tops, but I would like to be able to wear a tank top or nice blouse without my bra hanging out.

WittyLittle haha, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a program called nap boot camp, but I came up with that. Hmmm, maybe we could just repackage the same old sleep training strategies under that name and make some money!

I love watching tv and movies filmed here in New Orleans. It tries to look like other places but dude we know where you are and a friend from high school made it on tv! Lol!

aggiebug another vote for the motherhood maternity nursing tank. I have a cute nursing tank from target (whatever those brand is.. Gilligan and something? Maybe?) with material that is more binding so I thought it would be more supportive but it's really just uncomfortable. I've also done a soft nursing bra (I have Lamaze and some brand from Walmart) and just a cheap stretchy tank like from old navy or forever 21. I have 3 nursing specific shirts. Two of these from old navy, one blue and one black. And this from motherhood maternity. I like the old navy ones best. Yeah it's not necessary to have a shirt with holes cut for nursing and all that, but the first few times I NIP it helped to not have to worry with all the layers and up and down and what got pulled when you didn't mean to. They're also comfy and fairly flattering to the tummy chub.
Also I think you babywear sometimes? What do you use? Could you try nursing in it as a transition from the cover? I've nursed in a woven wrap and in the ergo; they both helped to hold baby so I could tend to boobs/clothes better.

aggiebug being flustered makes it feel like everyone is watching! That's how I felt with the cover. Can you practice at home in front of the mirror? I did that with nursing in my wrap to see what was exposed & what wasn't. I also pick seating at restaurants based on how much room I have to maneuver baby and how much relative privacy I get. DS is less obvious nursing if he's not squished by the table or kicking things. A feeding baby doesn't look much different from a sleeping / cuddling baby until they unlatch. I also just toss a burp rag over my boob when I'm burping DS instead of struggling with clothes. Burp rag + baby body = full coverage.
On the NIP - I just whip out a boob and go. You don't want to see it, don't look! You want a free tittie show then you came to the right place but I have small boobies and there's a baby attached so you might be disappointed! Lol.

Haha! My big DDs aren't easy to hide, but I am close to just whipping it out as well. Brady hates the cover. I'm sure it is hot and stuffy in there, so I am tired of fighting with him over it. It's just a boob.

Yeah. NIP is one of those things you just have to jump into (if that is what you want to do). I try to be modest, but sometimes I can't give any fucks because M's gotta eat!

The more I NIP the less I care about what people see. But it's way easier with a kid with head control who knows what's going on than it was with a floppy 10 day old!

You really should! Especially with a baby doing pushups on the cover it would make a fortune!!! :')
