Think We Take Nursing Around Here Seriously?

Concerned Preschooler, after seeing debris in the middle of a major road near our home: Mommy, can’t you go get it?

Me: No, honey. I might get hit by a car.

Preschooler: Oh, and then you couldn’t nurse.

    BRILLIANT!!! That is awesome and hysterical, and TRUE!

    I say that because with our current baby, I exclusively nursed (now that she's a year we're still nursing but getting exposed to more now) where as with #1, I pumped and bottle fed. My mom has been more concerned this time around with babysitting, etc since Baby hates bottles. My mom would say as I left…"please be careful, if anything happens to you this baby is in trouble!" LOL!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
