"Boobing" is a term that Tony and I coined back when Lucy was a baby. We must have thought the term breastfeeding was just too many syllables. It kind of just became a thing. (Tony-"Honey, can you bring me some toilet paper?" Me-"Ummm, I am kind of busy boobing right now!")
As I wrote this, I decided I should do more research. Naturally, I had to look into UrbanDictionary.com. It turns out my usage of the word "boobing" is the 8th most popular....as in the least popular. In case you looked, mine seems to be the most appropriate (and PG-rated).
Back in September when I started my blog, I had meant to name the blog as a whole "My (Second) Weight Loss Journey". The title of that specific post, I couldn't come up with. I just typed in "Blogging While Boobing" as I happened to be nursing Clara at the time. I later found out the Blog Title and Post Titles were in the wrong spots, and was honestly too lazy to change it. The first couple months it seemed that the only time I could write happened to be while I was "boobing" anyway, and it just kind of stuck.
Blogging While Boobing worked for a while, but that chapter of Clara's life is coming to an end. As much as I enjoy the mother-baby bond of breastfeeding, at some point you realize time is up. For me, that moment was when Clara insisted on sitting up while nursing, which I was clearly not okay with me. Shocking, I know, that I am not the mother nature type who will be nursing my toddlers. (How great is Michelle's post on The 7 Moms You Find at Momgroups? I laughed through the whole thing and could pair a name with each title.)
So, here I am. Blogging without Boobing, conjuring up some ideas for new names....hmm....

Hmm.... This is an interesting post. Chris and I have been considering a potential move out of the city--not far, but definitely no longer in "the city". I've been wondering what that will mean for my blog title, or if it should mean anything. It's funny, my gut reaction in your case is to say, "No! Keep it! I love the title of your blog whether you're boobing or not!" At the same time, I totally get where you're coming from... I'll be interested to see what you decide! "Hmm" is right.
