At the risk of increasing my "Weird-O" and "Pervy" visitors ( - love you guys), I was thinking about writing about breastfeeding today. Because nobody ever tells you the Real Deal about this stuff. And that's just wrong. So. When I was pregnant with my first kid I thought to myself, "Yeah, I'll probably breastfeed her. I mean, I have the hooters and everything, so why not??" Truth be told, I thought that it would be a very natural and beautiful thing that she and I would both embrace with maternal-bondish delight. So imagine my surprise when it HURT like a MOTHER FUCKER. Every time she would latch on my toes would curl in pain. The lactation consultants were very encouraging in a cheerleader kind of way, "Yes!! That's WONDERFUL! Look at that latch - you're a genius!!!" But I didn't feel like a genius. I felt like a moron who just couldn't get the idea without going to some intensive courses on the matter. And my kid seemed...
Like sex, but with a B.

Somewhere there is a whale mommy about to overflow and very upset that Junior is wasting time on a boat.
I think they met 'Bumper' the blind whale.
Damon - I wondered, too. Now that I wonder about it, I don't even know where whales keep theirs. Have you ever seen a whale nurse her calf???
Sandy - Hmmmm...yeah, maybe it wanted to suck on something else, eh? Maybe...
