Amusing Breastfeeding Story

I have a story to share from this past Sunday. Breastfeeders will hopefully find this amusing as they picture themselves in similar positions.
We went to the mall this Sunday to get me of all things....a
bathing suit (I refused to wear one at this weight but my
babysitter/neighbors have a pool and my kids LOVE it).
Anyhow...we all went and the family split up. Liam took Connor
to get his hair cut and Owen and I went to try on bathing suits.
The fitting rooms were like little boxes.....about 2 ft by
4ft....barely fit me AND the stroller (which I brought so I could try on suits). We squeezed in so I could try on my 15 bathing suits (hey when you haven't worn one in awhile you have no idea what size will fit best).
Anyhow...to make a short story long....my easy going, sleep
anywhere 3 month old baby decided to completely freak out in this tiny
dressing room while I was in nothing but my underwear. Literally screaming
at the top of his lungs which he rarely if ever does.
So there I was, sitting on the (none too clean, I might add)
floor of this dressing room, nursing Owen in my underwear
wondering if the "same gender" security watching the fitting
rooms were getting an eyeful and waiting for someone to look
under the stall (only way to see if one is full) to see me
sitting there....lol. I was stuck in there for about 25 minutes
cause I couldn't get dressed. AND Owen tricked me twice. He'd
get all happy, I'd put him down, play with him, get some smiles
and decide he was okay, start to try on another suit and he'd
freak out. 3rd time I knew I had to get out of there. Oh and I did buy a suit.
