Tieing up my child

I'm hoping everyone who reads this little blog is fluent in English and can understand sarcasm, otherwise I may be having a visit with child protective services soon after posting this. I'll just go ahead and state up front: I do not really tie my child up. Thank you, come again soon. :)

Jackson is taking a little nap in our sling right now so I have a chance to post something up. I really love the sling...I'm very careful to make sure he's not smooshed in there, but it's so nice to have him snugly up against my torso while I go about my stay at home mom chores. Speaking of chores I recently decided that being in the Air Force was easier than being a stay at home mom. Haha. It probably depends on the day in both cases...anyway. I'll get back on topic.

I am breast feeding Jackson and really enjoy it for the most part. Before I had him all the lactation consultants, Dr.'s and nurses go on and on about what a wonderful bonding experience it is. It IS a really wonderful thing, but they forgot to mention how it'll make you want to rip your hair out when your little child is squirming all over, pushing at his wonderful God given milk source while also trying to eat from it (which causes cuts like razors on mom thanks to those cute little fingernails), and intermittently screaming bloody murder at 2 a.m. Enter my blog title. The hospital gave us what is called a "sleep sack" when we left. I had thought they sounded neat while I was pregnant, but didn't end up buying one, so I was glad to have a free one! We didn't try it right away but good Lord hallelujah I fell in love with it when we finally did! It's a blanket-type jumpsuit with a piece that velcro's over baby's torso to stick their arms to their sides. I don't think I've ever pulled fabric so tight! I'm not a terrible mother, I just happen to have a future football player for a son that has WAY too much strength for his age. I put that little sack on around sun set, and he's lucky if its off for his first day time feeding session. I love the little booger, but I think arms should grow in at a later age or something. lol.

(For anyone wondering about pictures of Jackson, check out my Facebook. I feel more comfortable posting pictures there since I limit picture access to my friends. Here anyone can see em!)
