Last Night
Last night Some bloggin friends got together. It was great fun! Almost all of us had a baby in tow. Five moms, and all of us were moms o only boys! Yep, not a daughter in the group! It was Steph, and Lori, and Robin, and Ashlee. At one point I noticed that three of us were nursing our babies, at the next table was a group of young, single men! I had to laugh! We were all covered up and I'm pretty sure they never even noticed we were there, let alone nursing but never the less, there we were, taking care of our babies.
I never thought I would be that woman, the one who just nursed her baby at the table at a restaurant. We talked about this a little last night. With my first baby, I was so self-conscious that I would just pump milk while at home so that I could give the baby a bottle while we were out. With my second, he never had a bottle but I would always go nurse in the car or go somewhere else. With Ethan, I'm more open, more relaxed. Depending on the company I'm in, I'll still go to another room, or go out to the car but in a situation like last night, five moms who either are nursing or have nursed their babies, there is no reason why I can't sit at the table, covered up with my nursing apron, and feed the baby. I've never had anyone ever give me any grief for nursing anywhere but I have heard of others who have. Bathrooms are so disgusting. I wait until the last possible moment to go there myself, I'm NOT feeding my baby there! Anyway. Here we are from left to right, Lori, Robin, Steph, and Ashlee. I'm sitting down in front.
When I got home, my sister in law came in and have me the sling she bought me for my birthday! I got this one. I love it! I am so excited about wearing it!

Ethan is a cutie. How was the trip home??? Any crying???
Good times!!!
But, the up side is that because my kids are older now, we can do things like play cards until 1:30 in the morning. My two oldest played "Big Boss, Little Boss" with us right up until the party was over. The coolest thing...they let me sleep until 11:30 this morning!! Their old enough to get their own breakfast and go watch cartoons on a Saturday morning! Maybe I'm a bad mom, but gone are the days when I could play cards all night and get up the next morning like it was nothing. I'm getting old!
Anyway, I'm so glad you have those friends that you can connect with and support one another in this time when you have babies. I didn't have that. It is a blessing.
Well, I will see you tonight! I am very excited about our girls night out.
