It's Normal Idiots


My travel time to work, runs three to five minutes. Trust me when I say, many thoughts can run through my brain in that short span of time. I usually amuse myself daily, with my random roaming and detours of thought patterns. This out of nowhere blast of info this week, was so sweet. I tend to think, it may have been brought on by so many people having babies.
After my right turn, I thought, out loud!! About how much I delighted in nursing my babies. If I could just have one hour to hold them to my breast, and kiss the tops of their heads. I would sit for hours, holding them near me, feeling their hearts beating so close to mine. My cups ran over!! The nursing bras were hideous, and never really covered my torpedoes!!!! When the babies cried, here came the mighty Mississippi of milk flowing, nothing would stop the leaks. I did not read in any baby book about how all my clothes would have big wet circles of milk on them. I nursed in public and tried at first to be demure. That lasted about a day. People would have to get over it, and they did. Benjie, my brother, being the one exception. We were in San Francisco, at a restaurant, and 'B" screams, "You are NOT going to take those things out, are you?" " Not only am I going to take "them" out, but I will leave them out to air, with no baby hanging on them, if you even flinch again!" We still laugh about that dinner!!( Love my brothers so much..) Ward nursed for over two years, he was attached!!! When Hart came around, I informed him at an early age, in the hospital, that mommy would not be nursing forever, so start sucking!!! Emma being adopted was different, I wanted to hold a bottle and let Bill hold one also!!!
My drive to work, was flooded with sweet memories, a great way to start the day.
The gesture of my hand on my heart, or was I trying to feel if my milk was coming in???
Just a memory.....
