A few of our friends have recently been blessed with newborns. Now, before you click away, this is not another post from me regretting the passing of time and the fact that we aren't going that way ourselves. In fact, since simply picking up a tiny 6 1/2lb baby was enough to freak me out at the weekend, I think that I may be on the road to recovery on that front - finally. I don't think the mum noticed how eager I was to hand her gorgeous but oh-so-fragile bundle of joy back - I don't think so...
Anyway, it's not about that. Totally over the baby thing. Totally...
No, this is about one of those ?????????? moments you experience as a mum.
Due to the sudden influx of tiny, mostly breastfed babies (have you worked out where this is going yet?), my sons have seen a little more 'equipment' on display in working order than they have done for some time. And consquently, have been paying rather more attention to mine. All well and good, we're not a prudish family; they ask questions, I answer. Although I do rather take exception to having my nipples called 'tubes'. (Which they most certainly aren't, and do not resemble in any shape or form, I would just like to make that perfectly clear).
So, we've been discussing the fact that babies get milk from their mum's boobs. Not always, obviously. (And not for that long, for various - private - reasons that I won't go into now, for either of my boys). So I don't know why I was surprised by what happened one morning this week. (Come on - you must have worked out where this one is going by now).
6.30am. Boy #2 climbed into bed with me after he woke up (Husband is travelling). It was early - too early - so I told him to lie down, go back to sleep, and that I would get up shortly and fetch him some milk.
As I lay there dozing, he was clearly pondering the milk problem. He wanted some. I wasn't jumping to and fetching it. What to do? Well, he reasoned, why go to the fridge when there was obviously a supply of it lying right next to him?
It's a bit of a shocking way to wake up, I can tell you.
Ouch! Bet you got out of bed to get the milk pretty sharpish after that.
ReplyDeleteMy mantra on breast feeding was always 'until they get teeth and bite'. It really hurts!
OHMYGOD!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't breathe, I'm crying........
please, please tell me you'll get pyjamas
I'm in toadal hysterics!
Slightly different to a 'morning mommy' I agree.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Very funny!
ReplyDeleteTypical bloke - already obsessed with boobies!
RMx
ha!! too cute! now my girls are crawling it does come as a surprise to see them crawl up the bed and latch on with an iron will of their own..
ReplyDeleteOh ho ho. How hilarious. Painful I'm sure...but hilarious! Thanks for sharing that. x
ReplyDeleteSpeechless. Thank god mine's now 6 and beyond all that. I hope!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Thank you for making me smile. I have just stopped feeding my 6 month and was tempted to feel all sad (and yet relieved too) about it - but you have just made me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteThat was very clever of boy #2. You can't blame him for trying. He figured that's what they must be for. Why else would you have them? Did he bite you?
ReplyDeleteGood thinking but, yes, OUCH! (if he did bite that is?!)
ReplyDeleteVery funny, and innocent.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I used to worry that my son would want mummy milk again when his sister came along but luckily he hasn't so far!
ReplyDeleteOne of my chums babies asked if he could have some of my milk the other day! Thank you for nearly being my first commenter :)
ReplyDeleteWAAAAA!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it was in the comfort of your own home and not in the supermarket . . .
HA - resourceful!
ReplyDeleteAaargh! Too close for comfort - in all kinds of different ways...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the betting he'll be telling them at nursery that his Mum's boobs are empty!
ReplyDeleteThe funniest blog post I've read in a long time!!
ReplyDeleteHi all,
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments and sorry for not replying individually but I'm using a laptop and the batteries are about to run out... And for those of you wondering, no, teeth were not involved. Thank god.
I'm still sniggering
ReplyDeleteDid it work?!
ReplyDeleteQuite sensible of him, really, but very funny.
There's an award for you over at mine.
Nooooooooo. Oh my God that is hilarious, Really. Ouch. Hee hee. Very resourceful.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one whose kids weren't biters, even with a full set of chompers? I think I got nipped (pardon the pun) a few times but never properly bitten, and certainly not on a regular basis. Owww!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I love how he refered to your nipples as "tubes" too funny.
