I’m staying home with my Wee One, and these days, nursing a lot. I’m coming out of my skin at times, because I’m not productive when she’s on my lap. I never felt what a vise the cult of productivity is. Now that I think about it, maybe it isn’t a cult. Maybe it’s merely a distraction.
These days, I have little choice but to be present to my two-month old so I can catch her signals and respond to her newborn communication. I have to be in the moment, and its uncomfortable! I can’t escape into TV or books or even this blog, and certainly not into “productive projects.” I kind of hate it!
It’s sort of like wearing braces again. it’s molding me into something good, but sucks when they’re adjusted.
Have you had an experience that pushed your normal mode of behavior?
I Didn't Just Wake Up This Morning With A Craving 
I feel for you. I remember the isolation and boredom of breastfeeding my infants. And the sheer exhaustion. But it gets better. I promise. The braces come off. 🙂
I didn’t know breastfeeding would take this much out of me, so to speak. I even find myself watching Jersey Shore! 😚
I’ve been away from WordPress for I while so I missed congratulating you on the wee one:D hope the experience is beautiful and like no other! I’m expecting my third child In October, so yeah the breastfeeding parade shall commence again. Eek!
Congratulations! How old are your other two? And welcome back!
Thankyou:)!! My son’s 5 and a half and daughter’s 2 and a half… Everyone keeps telling me how busy I’m going to get!
Wow, they seem to be spaced out well! You can do it-thank God you’re not having twins!
haha I know! Secretly I wished for twins a few times but then fortunately God decided to have mercy on me.
