Defending the pregnant belly….

How to preserve your personal space….

Excerpt from “Milk It” How to get the most of the next 9 months…

“Beign pregnant measns sharing your body with someone else. But voluntarily accommodating a baby is one thinkg; being subject to the hands-on approach of everyone you meet is quite another. For as soon as you are visibly with child, you will be touched, your belly rubbed, and your figure stared up and down. Previously pregnant women will check out your ankles (to see how swollen they are) and your bump (to see whether your’e carrying high or low). The never-been-pregnant crowd will star at your belly (because it’s just so big and round) and your boobs (likewise). Maybe people think that because you were unihibited enough to get pregnant in the first place you must have no concept of personal space. Or maybe people are just freaks.
Ofcourse, it all depends on who’s doing the touching. Close friends, your sister, even the father of your child may all be well within rights to get intimate with your person. Thses are the poeple who hug and kiss you to say hello.
The trick, then, is to create an impenetrable exlusion zone around your entire body…
* develop an unapproachable demeanor.
* wear a large handbag diagonally across your body.
* Retch slightly, as if you might be about to throw up.
* spell it out with graphic tees….”hands off”

Excerpt from the book…this makes me smile :)

Having a baby is not just about replicating your more attratcive physical characteristics, or about taking a really long time off work. You are doing a Very Important Thing. The Child you are carrying could be destined for greatness.
So while your new task is to nurture that embryo or fetus, there is no harm in diversifying a little and working the system to your own personal benefit.
And a system ther surely is. There is nothing easy and carefree about being pregnant. Oh no, for one thing, people expect an awful lot of pregnant women. There’s the no smoking or drinking, lewd behavior in public is definetely frowned upon. You have to eat right, look presentable, and be serene and glowing at all times. You are expected to take exemplary care of hourself for the health of your child. And you have to do it all under public scrutiny. It’s quite the responsibilty.

Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers…new ORGANIC SOLID COLORS

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

bebe au laitBebe Au Lait has introduced an organic line of nursing covers using 100% certified organic cotton. I love that they are solid colors….to coordinate with just about anything…although I do love the prints too…hmmmm tuff choice ;)

Here are the details:
Don’t spend the evening in an isolated room or covered up with a blanket! Bebe Au Lait’s Nursing Covers for Chic Mothers is the answer to the need for privacy and style while breastfeeding.

Unlike any old blanket used while breastfeeding, the Bebe Au Lait is firmly attached to the nursing mother, so that Baby can’t grab it & throw it off, compromising Mommy’s modesty!

Each nursing cover is generously sized to fit every nursing mother.

The neck strap is completely adjustable.

A terry cloth panel at the bottom corner is perfect for little clean-ups!

A unique feature of the Bebe Au Lait is the ability to shape the top edge, so that mother and baby can continuously make eye contact while nursing, an essential part of mother and child bonding & attachment.

The Bebe Au Lait folds up nicely to easily toss into any purse or diaperbag.
