Allie & Jay

Today it is official. I am married to a lawyer. Kennedy, Miss Dottie, Dr. B, Meredeth, and I all were at the Koger Center today to watch as Jay took his oath and was sworn in. He is officially a lawyer. Kennedy looked beautiful wearing a nice pink dress that Miss Dottie bought her, cute knit booties, and a beautiful headband. She looked like a china doll. Jay really had fun showing her off to all his friends. She was a great baby and slept through the whole swearing in. I was so worried that she was going to mess up her outfit that I packed several extra onesies, an extra dress, and several burp cloths. I didn’t however plan on the mess that Mommie would make during the swearing in. My boobs were out of control today and I must say it was so EMBARRASSING. First I took her to nurse before the swearing in and I leaked all down my dress. While nursing her I soaked through the pad and leaked all over my dress. I was so embarrassed but I was easily able to hide it. During the ceremony, Kennedy slept… other babies however were whining and crying. I was leaking like a faucet and soaked completely through both pads. I used her to cover myself up along with her blanket. No one was able to tell that anything was wrong until Dr. B decided he needed some cuddle time (I mean who can resist this cute baby.) Jay immediatly saw my problem and I tried to use my hands to cover my now soaked dress. Finally after several pictures we were able to walk to the car. I replaced my pads with new pads and wiped myself down with one of the burp cloths. I then turned up the air in the car and tried to dry myself off on the way to California Dreaming. I had myself pretty clean with just a few stains by the time we got to the restaurant. We all sat down and enjoyed a yummy dinner with the family. Kennedy then decided she wanted some lunch so she started crying. Again my boobs turned on like a faucet and I releaked through my new pads and wet my dress again. I went ahead to the bathroom and fed her and used her to cover up my HUGE wet stains. I was so thankful when it was time to go home so no one else could see my stains. By the time we got home I fed my girl and we were cuddling on the couch. Needless to say I leaked AGAIN. This time all over her and the couch. I thought I had these suckers under control, but I guess not. I am so thankful that I have the ability to nurse and that I enjoy it so much, but really is all this milk necessary? Finally I fed her again and then busted out the breast pump. Lets just say that over 7 ounces later I finally quit leaking. Why do they choose today to leak like crazy? I must admit that I am a fan of breast feeding and I am so thankful that Kennedy learned how to do it so quickly. I don’t even want to think about the possiblity of adding in bottles. I love being the only one able to feed Kennedy and knowing that the milk she is getting is so healthy for her. She is such a sweet baby and I am so happy that she was able to see her daddy get sworn into the bar today.
