Apparently, my induction was scheduled for 7 PM which is significantly, completely and utterly different than AM.
Specifically, one is in the MORNING and the other is in the EVENING.
Now that I am done freaking out and we have figured out who is going to take care of Arun tonight and tomorrow because in other news, our plans for him fell through, I am doing okay. Actually, I'm lying.
I'm still totally freaked out.
I apologize for these departures from "breastfeeding", but it is difficult to wrap my head around the topic of breasts until I get this "birthin' part accomplished. Bear with me.

Where me and my girls let it all hang out.
Me...me....ME
I am a breastfeeding mother who thought it would be fun to have a breastfeeding blog about breastfeeding while I am breastfeeding. So basically, I primarily talk about breastfeeding here, although I will throw in some other parenting stuff as well. Make sense?
I live in Kansas City with my India-born husband and two children (son, Arun, born Oct 2005 and daughter, Anjali, born July 2007). I used to think I was knowledgeable about all things parenting and happily dispensed advice to new parents. Then, I had my own baby. I have spent that time since trying to atone for my grave sins in Parenting Hypocrisy. Before leaving the professional world to stay home full-time with my son, I held various positions in public accounting, data security and software development. I freely admit all of these positions went a long way in preparation for meeting the exacting standards of my son - the toughest boss I have ever worked for and one who doesn’t mince words during performance reviews.
One of my biggest concerns is the so-called Mommy Wars where mothers tend to question each other’s parenting decisions. In my own version of World Peace, I would like to see an end to these Wars and as such, I envision a world where mothers support each other regardless of parenting decisions. Breastfeeding is one of these divisive topics that touch to the very core of many mothers. I would like to provide a forum where mothers can discuss all the varying issues having to do with breastfeeding.
My hope is that mothers can come to a better understanding of each other and learn to accept different choices - and yes sirree, this includes me. I will be sharing my own experiences with breastfeeding all the while knowing that my stories are just a reflection of my own, unique experiences and that they are certainly not indicative of how all mothers should approach breastfeeding. I welcome comments from everyone - men, women, cats...... My only request is that everyone leaves the Judging and the Guilt at the door before they come in.
And also their shoes.
Weaning with less Whine, more Wine
Back in my heady, luxurious, Kid Free days, I was adamant that children should only be nursed to 12 months and by God, Not A Day Longer. Then, I had my own kid and realized strict time lines are ridiculous. I nursed my son to 15 months which happened to be into my 2nd trimester of pregnancy with my daughter.
My son weaned himself - we went on a trip to Boston. I forgot to offer, he forgot to ask. I nursed him on the flight home to help his ears and that was that. I am not sure what I'll do with my daughter. I'd like her to be weaned by 18 months or so. However, I am not silly enough to make plans.
