At seven weeks post-partum, I went to a party last night, during which I tried to be cool and make witty conversation, but it seems all I could talk about was breastfeeding and the fact that I’m breastfeeding and hey! look at my boobs, aren’t they hot? (Here is photographic evidence that I got out of the house, although for some reason, I am not credited or linked. Tim.)
At one point I disappeared into a back room to pump, and a woman who only heard that I have a 2-year-old said “Wow, you’re still nursing?” I filled her in about the infant, and she was corrected. I know some noble women would still be nursing Kyle, but I certainly can’t imagine doing it myself. The way my milk grows kids, Kyle would be 7 feet tall by now.
It was fun being among fellow bloggers, or “my tribe” as I like to call them. Point your fingers and laugh, if you will, but everybody at the party knew what I was talking about when I said “blogfamy,” and I even learned what an RSS feed is!
I arrived at the party eager to “get my drink on,” but after one gin and tonic (mixed by the witty Whit) my greatest desire was to sneak into the back bedroom and take a nap. Nobody would notice, and there were no children there! At least, none that were mine.
Luckily, since most of the people at the party were parents, the crowd thinned out around 11 as everyone left to pick up their kids. My date and I left around then – not too early, not too late. It was a great evening.

A shout out to my wonderful husband, who stayed home with both kids and did not run screaming into the horizon when I returned.
Glad you had a good time, but now it’s taken me almost an hour to read your post because I read some of those really great blogs!!! Thanks Honey, this a new way to “spend” time.
Was it too strong?
Kudos on being able to remember so many blogs. I think I was a few beers past that.
It was great meeting you!
We left at around 12:30, just as the jacuzzi action was getting underway. God only knows what happened after that.
I always leave before the good stuff happens! Hmf.
Very nice meeting you. Sorry to hear about the sore nipples.
It was great meeting you, a fellow tribeswoman and new “side friend” 😉 do let me know the next time you get out of the house. Cheers
I didn’t realize Brady was so little still; somehow I thought your kids were older. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Donald and I came home last night and immediately bookmarked as many blogs as we could remember to read when we weren’t quite as tired. Yours was the only one we kept reading even though it was, like, 1am. What a fun blog!
Anyway, we really enjoyed meeting you! Take care =)
Glad you had a good time! You looked fabulous!
I was supposed to be there! But I didn’t go! And now I’m kicking myself because you were there! And woman, you look freaking AMAZING.
*weeps*
It was great meeting you. And it was nice to talk about your set of twins and not mine. 🙂
It was nice to meet you last night. Congrats again on getting out of the house.
I wondered why the party thinned out when it did. I didn’t put the whole parent issue together at the time, but now it all makes sense.
Did you not see the “Oh, my head” comment? Now, I’ve got to go back in and add every blog for every person in every picture… oy.
🙂
Glad you had fun. Glad you got out of the House of Prince. We’ll have to do it all again sometime soon.
I have a food hangover. thanks for driving me! You are the queen of linking. I didn’t have the energy on my post but I did finally get you on my blogroll. It seriously took an hour.
Blogfamy is my new favorite word. You were super great and your boobs were pretty hot.
I’m glad you had a chance to get out and have a great time. You deserved it!!
