new lyrics to baby got back

Here are some new lyrics to the song "Baby got Back." This had me cracking up!

I like milk breasts and I cannot lie
you other babies can't deny
that when a mom walks in with an itty bitty waist and
two round things in your face
you get THURSSSSSS-TEE
cuz you notice her bra is stuffed
she's deep in double d's she wearing
im hooked and i can't stop staring
OH MOMMA i wanna get witcha
and drink your juicy pitchers
Enfamil tried to lure me
but only momma's milk makes me WAY healthy!

Ooo boobie's smooth skin
it always makes me grin,
so feed me, feed me,
cause you know it makes me happy
I see 'em bouncin'
With at least six ounces
It's sweet.
This treat!
Sit down mom, pull up a seat!
I'm tired of magazines,
sayin' formula is the thing
Ask the average baby and they'll say, "Snap!
Give it to me straight from the tap!"

So, Mommas (yeah!)
Mommas (yeah!)
can you NIP without any drama?
(HELL YEAH!)
Then nurse 'em, nurse 'em, nurse 'em, nurse 'em,
nurse your precious babes

Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)

I like 'em round and big
I'm like a little baby pig
I just can't help my self,
I'm eatin' like an animal
Bottles can't hold a candle
I wanna get that booju and slurp,
slurp it up slurp slurp
I ain't talking 'bout Playtex
Cause silicone nips are made for chumps
I like 'em real big and juicy
so give me your big bubbles
boobies don't give me trouble
rarely do I get a gas bubble
I'm lookin' at TLC's baby shows
Oh would you look at that...Oh, NO!
You can keep that mooju.
I'll keep on stickin' with booju.
A word to all you new mommas.
It's no trauma
It's not a big drama
I gotta be straight,
your baby can nurse
til the break of dawn
Now you've got it goin' on
Similac won't like this song
Cause they count on you to try it and quit it,
but you know those breasts make milk
It's not wrong. You're strong
Let's get that lactating on

So babies (squee!)
babies (squee!)
Do you wanna have your thirst sated?
Momma undo your bra, whip it out,
you make this baby shout

Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)
Momma's got milk!
(Mom's sweet face over big full boobies)

Yeah mommas.
When it comes to breastfeeding?
Size ain't got nothin' to do with your ability.
Bs? Cs? Double Ds?
You've got all your baby needs.

So they gave you a "success bag"
complete with a Nestle tag
But don't think that you always need
to get some free swag
Leave that sample up on the shelf
you can make it yourself
You can have some wine and sushi,
Your babe can have your milk!
Some docs wanna play that hard role
and tell you to supplement.
Momma toss it! Leave it!
The trashman can retrieve it!
So the security guard says, "Stop that!"
Well, I ain't down with that.
Cause my boobs are full
and this baby needs feeding,
It's his needs that I'll be meetin'
Some knuckleheads tried to be snide,
but the law is on my side.
I'm not feeding her in the restroom.
So stop with your doom and gloom.

So momma if your babe needs food
Go ahead and do what's good.
Sit down and feed that baby there
and let your milkies flow
Momma's got milk!

update

Well I thought I would pop on here real quick before I get Brookie ready for bed for a quick update. This week went by really really slow. For father's day, I made Jason a video of him and Brooke, more like a slide show of pics from her birth to the present with music in the background. I can't post it on the journal though, or at least I don't know how.

Today we went shopping for minivans. So far the one we like the most is the Dodge Caravan. I never thought I would be a minivan mom, but there is no way that two kids and the stuff for two kids will fit into my tiny jetta LOL. So a minivan it is.

Tonight we are going bowling with some friends. I hate leaving Brooke home, even though I know we need some grown up time and I trust my mom with watching her.

Lately I've been feeling like I pushed Brooke too much into weaning, and that she wasn't ready. I'm basing this on her behavior since she weaned, which on average has been horrible. Plus, I find myself really missing nursing her. So yesterday, when she started throwing one of her screaming, kicking, 45 minute tantrums, out of desperation I asked her if she wanted to nurse. She immediately said yes! Well, she pretty much doesn't latch on correctly, but it wasn't that painful and she only nursed for 20 seconds. Boy what a difference those 20 seconds made! Complete turnaround in her attitude, she hasn't thrown a tantrum since, she is back to being my cuddly girl. Whenever she gets frustrated or upset she just nurses for 10 or 20 seconds and then she is all set.

Well I gotta get Brooke ready for bed and then get myself ready for bowling. At this point my belly is so big I'll be rolling myself down the lanes! Ciao!

articles

Some things in the news that I found interesting:

A really good article on the differences btw formula and breastmilk and the actions of formula companies to discourage breastfeeding. I thought this article was really great, it has fact sheets and everything. It's amazing all that formula companies will do to earn a profit. Here's the link:

Here's an update on legislation in Kansas to protect bf'ing. Go Kansas!

http://www.infozine.com/news/stories/op/storiesView/sid/13463/

Here's an article on the ad campaign to promote bf'ing. A lot of people think that they are too harsh and make mothers feel guilty. My opinion? I like them. And if someone feels guilty b/c of these ads, then they really don't have confidence in their choice to formula feed. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Noone can make you feel inferior without your consent." With everything the formula companies do to advertise formula feeding, ads to promote bf'ing have to be "in your face" and shocking. It makes people think. Here's the link:

Well that's it for now. Ciao!

 

so far so good

Well so far I've been able to access my journal, but I did start a new one just in case one day I can't. http://adventuresofabreastfeedingmother.blogspot.com/

For now I will continue to post in this journal, but if you don't hear from me for a while, then check to see if I started posting there :o)

Well lately I've been feeling like I'm all stressed out. We've done NOTHING to prepare for the baby, we've haven't bought anything and we haven't unpacked anything and we are still waiting to see if the house thing works out. Some days I just feel incredibly overwhelmed and frustrated. I have nothing against my mother, but I really didn't want to give birth in her house, I was really looking forward to giving birth in a place that we could call our own, that we would be living in for a long time. But I have begun to resign myself to the fact that we will still be here when the baby is born, and we will be incredibly crowded until we find a place of our own, whether it be a house or an apartment. Lately I've been feeling the nesting urge, and I think that it is so strong now that tomorrow I will be scrubbing walls and floors LOL. If we can't unpack things or buy things for the baby at the moment, at least I can prepare the house and make the most of it :o)

Brookie is a little monster. Seriously, I keep wondering where my sweet little angel went. I feel like I have to walk on egg shells around her, the littlest things set her off into the worst temper tantrums. It really doesn't help my frustrations, but we're doing time outs and that seems to be helping a little.

Well that's it for now. Ciao!

update

Well here I am 25 weeks pregnant and I am ready to pop this kid out LOL.

Things have been going good around here. This past weekend was Jason and I one year anniversary, I can't believe it's only been a year, it feels like a lot longer LOL. We ate at a restaurant Sunday night and Sunday day we took Brooke to Old Sturbridge Village. Brooke had a lot of fun, I posted pics.

We're still waiting on if the house thing is going to work out or not, I keep praying it works out. Brooke has been talking even more, and now she throws temper tantrums. It's like she hit the terrible twos slightly early :o/

Well we have finally left the stone age and entered the current period by leaving behind dial up and getting high speed internet. I know that I will still be able to do a lot through AIM, but I'm not sure if I can still blog once our AOL is officially cancelled. I'm going to do some research and if I have to move my blog I will post the new link. I also have to try to figure out how to get all my favorite links off AOL and onto the new service, I miss my links already LOL.

Well that's pretty much it here. I'll update more later. Ciao!
