Would you like some fries to go with that shake?!?

This would be the first time in my motherhood life that I have had kids that really want to know how things work and get done when caring for a newborn. This has been a source of panic for me because I have the worst luck nursing and have had to pump 6 weeks with each kid before they would even consider latching on. Is Eden any different?
No.

So, being the curious kids that they are, they have wondered for the past three weeks how Eden is getting "her" milk. We were all sitting on my bed and they asked AGAIN about the machine and all the interesting looking plastic pieces that I continually wash all day long. I finally told them that I pump the milk out of me and put it in a bottle so she can drink it. That answer was received with question marks in their eyes and Ted told them I was "like a cow."

...I'm just going to let that sink in...

There are a plethora of things wrong with his statement. First thing is that we don't live in the country where that would even make sense to them. They get their milk from a jug! Next thing is -you NEVER refer to ANY woman in a bovine nature. Third-it brought on a whole lot of conversation that didn't need to happen in our house ending with Noah calling me "milkshake!" He has no qualms with telling anybody who is listening earshot that Eden gets "milk from my mom's chest when she pumps it out." So sorry to the sweet family that came over for dessert and Bro. H. got the low-down on my "milking habits."

I sure hope nobody gets scarred for life from this!
