The power of newborns

Well today I joined my friend Stacy at a local breastfeeding mothers support group. Its mostly there so the moms can come in and weigh their babies every week. WOW I'm not sure I have ever been around so many newborns at one time. I felt was almost euphoric. The sounds and smells, Olivia looks positively GIANT standing next to them. I felt instantly fertile and my ovaries began to ache! 5 more days until IUI. I almost had to giggle at the reaction most of these first time mothers had at the site of me nursing my TODDLER. Its hard for me to believe sometimes how big she is, she will afterall be TWO YEARS old tomorrow. These past 2years have really gone by so fast and it still feels so completely natural to be nursing her, I cant imagine WHAT I would do if she were to wean. Nursing is such a huge part of our relationship I cant imagine what our life would be like without it. I am reading Adventures in Tandem Nursing right now. I am getting excited, not so much for the seemingly inevidable breast/nipple pain and intensified nausea that comes with nursing while pregnant. But the benefit of being able to nap and rest while my toddler nurses, call me crazy but I am also looking forward to the likely chance that we will go onto tandem nurse. Dont get me wrong I know its not all hearts and flowers, but I can deffinatly see the benefits here too. I really feel excited to nurse a newborn again! Especially after watching all the tiny ones nursing today, the mewing and grunting the sheer primal movements of the mother bears as they tend to their cubs, it was amazing to watch. This reminds me I want to look into starting up LLL meetings uphere agian, although Im not sure that its a good time. Will it really ever be?
