Do I have "breastfeeder" written across my forehead?

People lose all inhibition when they see twins. Really, they do. Sometimes I can actually see people fighting the urge to say something, knowing probably that everyone says something, but in the end they usually can't help it and blurt out ," Are they twins?!" Then there are the normal questions and comments that follow like ," How old are they?", "You have your hands full!" , "You are so lucky!", "A boy and a girl huh? Is that it?" (To which I unfailingly respond , "Is that what?" having no idea what they mean, and they say "Are you done having children now that you have a boy and a girl?" It throws me off every time. My friend Holly suggested I say, "Actually, let me whip out my family plan and show you how many children we plan to have.:)" For now I just say, "No, we want LOTS,LOTS more!" )

Anyway, I actually like all of the comments for now. Maybe I just like the adult interaction that it creates. For whatever reason, it fills my heart. Other than the guy who put his finger to his head like he would shoot himself if he had twins. Yes, he did. For the most part, though, people are kind and it makes them smile to see two babes and that makes me smile. Ask me in three years and I'll tell you if I still like it!

Today, though, I got a new one. I was sitting, once again, at Paradise Bakery with Sammy in the sling and Amelia in the stroller. I was reading a book when a lady walked up and asked if they were twins. Yes, I smiled, they are. A boy and a girl. Oh, she says. Are you nursing both of them or just one? My mind started racing as I wasn't nursing either of them at the moment. I looked down at my new nursing tank terrified that I may have snapped it wrong and was exposing myself to everyone. Nope, everything was okay there. So I surmised that she must mean in general do I said, "Well, I nurse both of them." "Oh that's great!" She replied, and we continued to have a good conversation about nursing. But, first of all, how did she know that I nursed either of them at all, and how odd to think I would only nurse one of them! Anyway, like I said, people come up with some doosies.

Here are a few new pics of these little ones that make even the roughest of the rough smile.....
