I am really feeling that about breastfeeding: I absolutely love doing it but Can. Not. Wait. To have my body to myself again...and to wear something without considering it's degree of nursing access! jjk84https://www.blogger.com/profile/11388111922637860319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-73398027321961676202017-01-30T09:15:48.114-08:002017-01-30T09:15:48.114-08:00@jjk84 oh man. but yes(!) to moving in one's b...@jjk84 oh man. but yes(!) to moving in one's body. The entire last trimester of my second pregnancy, I just kept thinking/saying: "I can't wait to have my body to myself." Sometimes, reading wikipedia pages of historic people, I will come across a detail that the person is 1 of 8 children or something like that and I just think: HOLY SHIT. I want to talk to that woman right now.

I tried going to a heated vinyasa class around the six month mark and passed out during the first or second sun salutation (exemplary self care right here...). I kicked myself because the first thing I said when I came to (and the whole class was staring at me) was "I'm sorry". Ugh, such a gendered thing to say! I was so scared they were going to send me home when I just needed to have some time to move in my body! Luckily, instructor gave me some coconut water and we flowed on. So glad you're getting some more you time! jjk84https://www.blogger.com/profile/11388111922637860319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-24482790382627987162017-01-30T08:37:37.680-08:002017-01-30T08:37:37.680-08:00@jjk84 We are ALL superwomen.

One of those first classes, the teacher had us push up from our stomachs to plank and it was IMPOSSIBLE. ditto boat pose. Now that Isaac is in daycare three days a week, I appreciate him/ his energy so much more. Let's chill! Let's play! Let's hug! Babies are smart.

THIS IS AMAZING!! I love that you depict the hustle of being a breastfeeding mom! I so relate to the laundry, the groceries, the cooking, the breastfeeding, the solid food feeding and even had a bout of mastitis around 4.5 months to boot. I went back to work at 5 and a half months and considered that amount of maternity leave a total luxury compared to what all of my friends got. The hardest thing? Finding time for myself to exercise. I had to give up my monthly pass to my yoga studio because I can barely get there once a month. So... you are basically superwoman.

Loved thes...@Sara thank you so much for that link!! Loved these lines in the intro:<br />"Well before other forms of labor in the new global economy erased the line between work and life, housework (from cleaning and cooking to child-rearing) was always that with which we are never done. It seizes all of life incessantly, requiring that we envision new forms of expression and tactics of resistance."<br /><br />I watched some of the film this morning but plan to watch more. And so so so glad you saw the video with your feminist slant. I totally struggled with what to say in that last title. I obviously decided on "Motherhood" but toyed with many other, less subtle messages. There were also so many of the other house chores I wanted to include but didn't/couldn't. <br /><br />That being said, off to yoga class now while Matt watches both kids! Cheers to that!Amelia Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374986152389436014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-61601697036459946402016-07-16T08:32:01.141-07:002016-07-16T08:32:01.141-07:00You are amazing!You are amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043412339638046127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-33276081880141873482016-07-16T08:28:40.089-07:002016-07-16T08:28:40.089-07:00I really love this, Amelia!
