Now THAT's a work of art!

This week has been a lot of same ol' same ol' until today. My mom accompanied me to the city to the dentist and then to the modern wing at the Art Institute.
I was dreading the dentist due to the fact that my poor dental care skills have declined since having a baby. Hopefully I am not alone in this. Luckily, though, I got away with just a few complaints about my "staining" due to coffee. Look man, I deserve these battle scars you call teeth stains. As long as there is nothing about to fall out, I am golden.
Then we went to the Art Institute to check out this new modern wing by Renzo Piano. As an architect, I must make the pilgrimage. As a mom who wants to make her baby a renaissance-woman (aka genius at everything) I wanted to show O another world.
So, we get to the museum and I have to pee right away. On our way to the restroom, a large black lady stops me and says "Now THAT's a work of art!" (pointing at O) Yes, yes she is ;-)
Then we make our way through the modern wing, blah blah and then go for lunch at the museum's cafeteria. Toward the end of lunch. I keep staring at my hooter hider thinking I should try and feed O because if I don't my production will dry up because I haven't fed her (don't worry, she wasn't starving because she had a bottle earlier). It is amazing how much I panic about that lately. I am way too aware of the time because I cannot miss a pumping session or La Leche league will send me a strongly worded letter and my reserves will dry up (or so they say.) Anyway, I decided to put the hooter hider on and feed O in public. I figure, THESE people are open minded...it's not like there aren't enough boobs on display in the modern wing. I mean, no one was staring or anything...no one said anything, but it's still extremely strange to me to know that there is a baby attached to my boob and I am in the middle of a museum. I actually recommend you try it one day. It makes you feel very aware of yourself...very alive...probably like skydiving, only, safer.
I have a rant about the scare tactics that new moms have to go through, one of them being breastfeeding all of the time or your production will disappear, but I actually don't have time for that right now.
