Hooray for Boobies

As for me, I am going to have to find another way of catching up on tonight's episode of Underbelly as I am going out to the pub with my old 'boobie gang' from the Australian Breastfeeding Association. I really like these women. I first met some of them at a similar event 9 years ago (when my first child only 9 weeks old). None of us are breastfeeding anymore (probably a good thing as some of the 'kids' in high school now) but still find them entertaining company as well as a good source of advice on all sorts of odd and important things.

By the way, the title of this post refers to an album put out by the Bloodhouse Gang back when I was still breastfeeding. My brother sent me an album poster for a joke.

And yes, I will out myself here. I breastfed my kids till they were well into toddlerhood and could 'ask for it' (hence the booby references). It is actually something I am quite proud of as I don't consider myself a Mother Earth type at all (was scared shitless by the whole motherhood thing initially) so was surprised at what a good 'milker' I was. Probably could have fed a whole village with the amount of milk I produced.
