jenn_unplugged | Thoughts on boobs. :-)

Have you ever noticed that boobs float in water? It's finally been warm enough to get in the pool a bit lately, and that is one of the first things I noticed. My mommy-boobs are totally perky in the pool, which is both funny and sad, heh. I wish I could find a comfortable bra that did that...

Speaking of boobs, I was just reflecting this morning that one of the cool things about nursing a baby at this age (14-ish months) is that it works like a reset button. Carter will be whiny and unhappy, and not wanting to be picked up or set down, and nothing is apparently wrong, and then just a few minutes of nursing will be enough to totally turn him around. He curls up in my arms and looks up at me and nurses, and I stroke his hair and his back, and just stare back at him. And then he'll sit up and smile, and wriggle off my lap and be ready to go play. It's like magic, I swear!

I know that moms who don't nurse have their own ways of accomplishing the same thing, but I really enjoy that nursing works so easily. It's like the lazy mom's duct tape. It fixes everything! :-)
