Thanksgiving 2008

Fat fat fat baby on Thanksgiving.

Natural Born Boppy

For those of you not familiar with the Boppy, allow me to enlighten. A Boppy is a u-shaped pillow that is used to position a baby for nursing. Until recently, I had no idea how the human race flourished in the pre-Boppy millennia. How did the baby every find the nipple? Or stay there long enough to draw sustenance? The answer was soon revealed to me the first time I was required to 'nurse on the fly'. God, in His infinite wisdom, provides nursing mothers with Nature's Bobby. I am referring, no doubt, to the shelf of fat (or "fat flap" as we refer to it at our house) that stays on the belly long after delivery of a tiny human. Yes, it is a nuisance when attempting to shoe-horn yourself in to pre-pregnancy pants, but the damn thing is oh-so-useful when the need to prop a baby up to boob height arises (about every 2 hours or so).

Bonus: just like the Boppy I bought at Target, this one comes in a fetching pattern! It sort of looks like a nice pink zebra print.
