Nursing in Public

Still trying to get my guts with this one.  Tonight I nursed at Applebee's.  I used my Moby wrap.  I took Elise into the bathroom first and there we got all in position.  I used the mirror to help get everything situated and make sure we were covered.  Then I went back to the table.  She did great!  I still have trouble  getting over nursing in public mentally. It's a struggle to not worry about what others will think.  I always feel like everyone is looking at me and I know that is crazy and that most people probably wouldn't notice even if I didn't use the wrap.  LOL  But I am still getting braver.  I would say that this is step on to being a more confident NIP momma!

Teeth come on!

I feel like I am losing my mind! The drool, the chewing, the constant edginess. This child's teeth need to come in now.  She is sooooo not happy!

 Even the Sophie is not enough!

Unless she is nursing or in the Moby Wrap!

There's my first online nursing photo, I'm getting braver!  LOL

I really hope she gets some teeth soon!  I can't take much more.  However she is still sleeping through the night like a pro.  So she is still a great little addition no matter what.  :)

The Elliptical is my friend!

Finally making some time for myself!  The hardest thing about breastfeeding is being the sole provider of nutrients to the baby.  I feel guilty every time I leave the house with out her.  So today she turns 5 months old and I have finally started going back to the gym this week.  It's hard because I have to wait till she wakes up so I can feed her, but it has to still be before 6 that I go, so I am back for the next feeding and all the kids.  I did manage to do it a few times this past week.  Which was wonderful.  But then today I really wanted to and Elise slept till 6:35am.  Can't complain about my baby girl sleeping from 8:30 - 6:35... But i kinda wish she'd woke up at 5 am!  LOL  I was happy to see that I could still do 30 minutes or more on the elliptical.  It had taken me a couple weeks to work up to 45 minutes before this last pregnancy.  Now I feel like physically I could, but emotionally I don't like being away that long.
