Hooray for boobies!

Yesterday, I aquired my copies of my new family pictures and the breastfeeding portraits we had done. Let me just say, they are beautiful. Anyone who knows me, at all, knows how I feel about breastfeeding. I am a lactivist, and I'm not afraid to show it!

I don't know if everyone reading this is aware of the problems people are having with Facebook, but there have been a lot of people getting their pictures deleted and even their accounts shut down, all for posting pictures of them breastfeeding their children. Pornography. That's what they're calling the pictures. Because boobs are only sexual, don't you know? Ha.

Let me share one of my favorite quotes "If breastfeeding is sexual, then a bottle is a dildo" because that's about how I feel about it. Breasts are sexual, but they are also functional, they were MADE TO FEED YOUR YOUNG. Amazing! Multipurpose body parts, what a novel idea?!

Anyways, so I posted my pictures on my Facebook, and I even set my status to read that if you didn't like the pictures or were offended by them, feel free to delete me. Amazingly, no reports have been made and all my pictures are still up. Heck, I even made one of them my profile picture! *gasp* So, what I am thankful for today is that I have a group of friends that are intelligent enough to be supportive of breastfeeding and realize it's not just best, but normal. I am also super thankful for the beautiful pictures that BLP Photography took of my precious little nursling and me. I'll share some of my favorites.




And can I just say "Yea for Boobies!"

And just for fun, a few from the family shoot, because I have a beautiful family that I adore. :)
