After Emily was born, Amanda was quite the little helper. Emily will not accept artificial nipples and Amanda often says she wishes she could feed her sister. I told her she couldn't right now. "But mommy!" She said, "I could water mine (she pointed to her chest) and grow them big like yours!" 

My husband was a bit surprised at the power of letdown and the "power of (hand) expression."  He was sitting beside me and suddenly Amanda decides to grab the breast not in use and shot her father right in the eye....She thinks that I have a neat built-in squirt gun!

When Amanda asks for a glass of milk, she always tells me "from the fridge, from a gallon...not booby juice!"   If Emily cries in public, Amanda usually gets upset and if I do not immediately get the baby to stop, she tells me "The baby's hungry! Whip it out!"

My younger sisters are a little uncomfortable with my enthusiasm over breastfeeding and my nursing in front of them. One day, they were next to me on the couch, as I undid my bra to nurse Emily, I noticed the looks on their faces, so as a joke, I leaned close and shouted "Oh my God! They're out of control! Take cover!"

They jumped about 10 feet!
I love nursing, but I love a good sense of humor too!
