At this point I’ve gotten pretty used to breastfeeding while I’m not at home in many different places (restaurants, the car, the gym, airports, Fenway Park, rest stops, museums, to name a few).  However, may I make a formal recommendation that the best place to nurse while not at home is Nordstrom.  Their women’s bathrooms come with a separate lounge area complete with changing station, sink, and fancy chairs which seem to even be designed for nursing.  You see, most chairs have armrests on either side, which babies like to kick off of while they eat, resulting in a difficult nursing session for mommy.  Well, Nordstrom has thought of this, and I am thankful.  And I promise to one day buy something in your store as a thank you.

I have gotten TWO burst blood vessels in my eyes in the last few weeks (I believe the technical term is subconjunctival hemorrhage).  But why? Stress? Too many crunches at the gym? Lack of sleep?  I’m not sure but I don’t like it.

We bought and decorated our Christmas tree today.  And our stockings are hung by the chimney with care.  Bring on Santa!
