Breast pumps, bras & nursing pads----Oh MY!!!

[mommyissa]

Now that I've been a mom for nearly 3 months, I've learned some things: my nephew calls breasts, "boo-tatoes," Brian's friends are all "boob men," many people think breastfeeding is uncool, perverted & disgusting (guess some people would not have survived back before there was formula), breastpumps suck (no pun intended) & make one feel like a

His friends are 30 something going on 16. When I ask him what "men's work" is, he literally doesn't answer. Also I need to tell you that he said that over a month ago, it's not like every day he reiterates it. I think he's beginning to put forth some effort. Not sure if I feel it's enough, but I'm not willing to give up on it yet at this point. If it were just the two of us that would be one thing, but I'm not just going to arbitrarily send Natalie's dad away.
Besides, he's better with her now.
Honestly, I'm paranoid & I kind of want them to play D & D here so I know where he is. He hasn't given me the impression that I have anything to worry about, I'm just a paranoid person, you know this. Hopefully he gets a job where he won't be able to play anymore because he'll be at work. Hopefully he gets a job at all! We're going to be out of unemployment by the end of the month. I absolutelty refuse to get a job right now, because I am taking care of my child. She would not get as much care & attention if I weren't here, & I'm not ok with that. He wants me to be June Cleaver, I'm more than happy to be that, but I'm not going to be Ward Cleaver, too.
hahaha, I don't think I'd pop without the pump, but milk can tend to leak all over the place...it's quite hot, it feels weird.
Angie buys her bras at Victoria's Secret, so I'm sure she's well aquainted with the over $40 bra. I'm cheap. The ones with zippers are new, I guess, they are so cool. It's funny, 10 years ago I'd be like, "I want that new vinyl bra!" Now I'm like, "I want that new nursing bra!"
Things change.
