When Brock came along, I was a little better, a little faster, and a wee bit more coordinated. So I decided to brave the waters once again. Until I had the blanket thing under control, I would still find a quiet corner to tuck myself into to save myself the embarrassement should the blanket fall down (invariably, it would) ... and truth be told - I still was very sensitive to other people's comfort level (or lack-there-of) with the whole nursing in public (nip ... see? look at me! I've come a long way!!) thing. I could even nurse Brock laying down (sounds so funny that I couldn't figure it out with Tatum. I don't care what anyone says ... nursing is SO not the most natural thing in the world ... it was hhaaaarrrrddddd the first time - and enormously painful!). I very happily nursed Brock until he was 17 months old :heart:
And along came Sophie. Just like riding a bike - my body could sling a blanket sideways like nobody's business. I could sling the blanket and nurse while cooking supper, while eating supper, and even while shopping at the mall! I didn't have the time (or energy) to round up the other two troups and tuck them in the corner whilst I fed the baby (I'm speaking in past tense for some reason ... this is still happening!). And then I saw a friend using a nursing cover, and then another friend. The fabrics were so cool! And they looked so stylish! When one of my friends came from Calgary for a visit, she was nearing the end of her nursing relationship with her third baby. I was then given hers ... and I was scared to use it!! But I learned how. And I love it!! I've gotten so many compliments on it ... but I have to wash it all the time ... because I only have the one ... which leads me to why I'm doing this post ;-)

Angie,
so jealous your babies nurse! My cousin gave me a nursing cover when Nate was born, sometimes I would put it on while I pumped alone in my bedroom just because the fabric was so cute!
