the village mentality, breastfeeding, motherhood

[thehobbit]

I am very grateful to have received a milk donation this week. What this means is the ability to put my children down and simultaneously soothe their fussing without the added spit up and horribleness that was coming with formula. They're happy, I'm happy. They're sleeping awesome. It is great! I can sleep for once without them on me without

hahahah. i will admit, tegan has became a LOT more fun since she's out of the puking everywhere and doing nothing but crying and cooing stage. now that she's running around and starting to COMMUNICATE WTF with you its really interesting.

I've spent years deliberately not shaving my legs and wearing yoga pants. Now that I have little people I feel this compulsion to stop doing that. I think it's because right now wearing yoga pants and not shaving my legs is what's happening right now because I have no where to go and nothing to do and I want to have somewhere to go (work) and something to do (work). Not that work ever cared about my body hair. I think I just want to show people I haven't become this unruly wild thing due to being told someone, though I'm unsure who, declared my life is over. It's not over, it's fucking different.

And I'm secretly pleased my feet stayed a bit bigger after pregnancy. I had so many cute shoes I couldn't wear before and now I can because my feet aren't so mutantly small anymore.

Yay! :)

I am continually surprised at how motherhood has changed me. And yeah, my LJ mom friends are the bestest.
