I love the internet, specifically, I love following links. It’s a magical treasure hunt; you never quite know where you’re going to end up and, often, you don’t remember where you started.

Recently I ended up finding a link to the original Nursing is Normal project. I’m not sure how I found it, but I was sure glad that I did. I was even more excited once I found a link to the slideshow over on Mothering. As I watched the beautiful photographs of women nursing in various, everyday places flashing across the screen, I was amazed, inspired, and found myself wishing that I could have been a part of it.

Imagine my surprise, and joy, to find that another photographer and breastfeeding advocate is doing another project in one of my all-time-favorite cities, Madison. And that the project will still be going on when we come back to the States.

As fast as my little fingers could take me, I went over to the Contact Us page and typed in my inquiry. Hoping that I would be able to participate.

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I woke up this morning, less than 24 hours after sending the inquiry, to find an email from the photographer, Lea, saying that my email caught her eye and that she would love to do a shoot with Ewan and I.

So, sometime during our visit in August, Ewan and I will be photographed nursing at Olbrich Gardens, the site where Aaron and I got married six years ago. I think it will be an awesome chance to go back to where our family began with the newest addition. I also hope that the photos that Lea will take during our session will help to accomplish the guiding mission of the project, to help nursing women, and other members of the public, realize that nursing is normal, that it needn’t be kept private, in ones’ home.

Thanks Lea for the chance!
