Breastfeeding...

I was out all day on Graduation Day, with my 7 year old, almost 3 year old and my 4 week old, and I am mostly EBFing my wee one, so naturally I was Bfing in public...eek! ;)

I wouldn't do it with my first, but I did with my second, and will do it wherever/whenever the need arises, with no apologies for my last. No one said boo to me on Saturday, but I'm sure some folks would have if they didn't see the "mommy has not slept in 6 weeks death glare" and the baby fussing or about to be fussing sitting in my lap.

I'm sure someday this won't be a big deal, but until we make having babies and taking them out in the world not such a taboo, breastfeeding in public will still be seen as a strange concept for people. And no, I don't hide in bathrooms anymore.

Saturday morning

slow going today, hoping to get out and shop with Rachel, letting Dan sleep, big kids haven't driven me completely nuts yet-

so, more on me...

I'm Kate, mom of three, Christopher, age 7, Hannah, almost 3, and Rachel almost 4 weeks. I'm a co-op mom, amateur genealogist, artist who doesn't get to do art anymore and we are leaving Charlottesville this summer to start Residency in Albany, NY. I was born a Yankee (from Philly, so I'm a Phillie fan and when the Red Sox were underdogs, I was a Red Sox fan), but have spent most of my life in Virginia, Colorado and NC.

we graduate on Sunday...

if the world doesn't end on Saturday and if Dan doesn't oversleep...
