The Multitasking Nurser

Most of you know that I have a tendency to be busy. Who am I kidding? I am the queen of multi tasking and part of how I've nursed Lincoln this long is by applying that skill to "nay nay time."

Yes, he's nursing right now.

So the women just said, "awww, how sweet," "what a mom" or "ouch!" And the guys probably cringed a bit, unless you are part of the enlightened few, usually not American, men who support extended nursing and get the benefits. Since you're reading this blog you probably are and yea for you.

Skills required for nursing while blogging:
- one handed typing, a must
- strong arm muscles to support a large munchkin (he is a lap full indeed, I mean his legs hang almost down to my ankles)
- the ability to think of what you want to say, remember what you want to say, then actually say what you want to say while singing bits of songs and answering random sleepy questions like, "Where's da kitty?"
- good balance in a swivel office chair

Yep, we've got it down, and thank goodness, or I would never get anything done ;)

Do Vegans Get The Chicken Pox?

Well the answer is most definitely, YES! Call it the Tofu Pox, or what have you, they are no fun for anyone.

You would also think that after undergoing the agony of deciding to immunize (even for the Chicken Pox) that we/he would not have to go through it, but not so. One of the side effects of growing his world it seems.

The good news...it was a very mild case, apparently because he had been immunized. Mostly on his knees ankles and a few strays on his arms and the top of his hands. The bad news... they were all in his mouth and it was excruciating for him. Couldn't eat or nurse much for a couple of days. Ice chips were the constant request. Poor pumpkin.

It was also a bit tough to diagnose since it did not present in the "normal" way. Well I guess that's what happens when Vegans get the Chicken Pox!
