Still looking for a house!!!

The one we saw today was dumpy! Overpriced! And wibbly-wobbly!!!

I have now successfully nursed Noah on the GO! 5 different times now. I am going to need to post some pictures. I use a Mei-Tai, which is a Chinese Style Baby carrier. I love it. It is powerful enough to soothe a savage beast. Not that Noah is one, of course. I learned the power of the MT with Andy.


I saw this quote today and had to share:
Christopher West Nursing a Sexually Wounded Culture

St. Paul hit the nail on the head when he said, To the pure all things are pure, but to the impure nothing is pure (Ti 1:15). It is a tragically impure world that labels the purity of a baby at the breast as "gross." For those with the purity to see it, a nursing mother is one of the most precious, most beautiful, and most holy of all possible images of woman. (source)

It does feel holy, every time I am able to suckle my wee one who will grow into a child. It amazes me to look at this chubby-bubby 20 # boy and think, 'I have provided all the nutrition he needs.' My mom told me it is like growing two babies! One in uetero (9#10oz) and all the weight he has put on since birth.

Noah then 4-17-07





Noah now 9-18-07

By the way I am so chatty because I finally have a little time. Noah went to sleep at 7:30 and Andy at 7:50!!!! I should be cleaning, but would rather share some thoughts with you, lovely Blog reader!
