Sunday, May 27, 2007 The right time I have always felt like I was born at the exact right time. Infertility and pregnancy have confirmed it. ICSI was invented 15 years ago. Without it, there would have been no hope for us. No Olivia. The maternity leave time frame was increased from 6 months to 1 year in Canada five or six years ago. This alone makes the winters bearable. It has been legal for women to bare there breasts in public in Ontario for about 10yrs. This leaves no question as to whether or not I can breast feed publicly. Hell, I can mow the lawn with my shirt off if I want (if I wasn't scared that I'd mow over my boobs). Very few women use the law literally but it's a big step for equality. If I gotta see some hairy back fat bastard with his shirt off, I should have every right to let my girls hang. Then there is the stuff. Ohhhhh the stuff! My husband is gobsmacked at how much shit has been invented in the 11yrs since he last had a baby. Everything from bumbo to itzbeen to this fabulous wrap I'm wearing (which is allowing me to type with two hands while holding my baby). At first he was a little disgusted and thought it was all just commercialism bullshit but he's been converted. Commercialism or not, alot of these inventions are making our lives alot easier. Basic things like a nursery not smelling like you've been slapped with a diaper thanks to the genie. Something about this girl of mine has got me thanking my lucky stars in every direction I look. I can only hope that her future is as bright as mine has been. Here is my fab new pouch sling... Sorry, no face. I'm having some body image issue's that start with the lingering fat face. Look at the giantic knockers though, no wonder I had to do a whole post about them. p.s. I start back to WW this week, expect much weight loss talk in the future. I'm hoping that getting my two hands back (thanks to the sling) means a bit more pc time so I can catch up on everybody and post a bit more often. The sling was handmade by a fabulous stay at home mom and she will ship worldwide. Her website is sewfunky. posted by Just another Jenny @ 11:50 PM   11 Comments: At 12:44 AM,  Mony said… Oh that sling is fabulous. ...if I can't get a nice one here you must send one over for me.   At 4:50 AM,  Meg said… Ooh, what a sling! I made myself a wrap a couple of weeks back. (buy five metres of rugby jersey and hem it - the cheap option)and it is soooo good. I can do dishes! I can type! I can fold laundry!   At 8:55 AM,  Anonymous said… whart is the brand of sling?   At 9:01 AM,  TeamWinks said… I was going to ask the same thing as anon. Who makes the sling? It's adorable. The baby is more adorable though! We'll be glad to support you in your weight loss goals. Hang in there!   At 11:18 AM,  Flygirl said… That sling looks pretty wonderful. I wonder if Bug would take to it as well as Olivia has....   At 1:15 PM,  Jenny said… You are so right about this being the right time--it is like fate worked in your corner. Love the sling! I have a similar one that Chloe just loves and the freedom to move around and use you hands is just great!   At 1:41 PM,  Lut C. said… A sling of some kind is definitely on my list. :-)   At 7:16 PM,  A, B &amp; C said… That is so cool!
