Ok, so I won't look this hot, but I can totally see this being me at BlogHer '12! I have decided that if I'm going to go to BlogHer '12 in NYC, I'm going to need to find a sponsor.  Since I will still be nursing the baby, I'll definitely spend much of the time there using a breastpump, and I can't think of a better sponsor than one that promotes breasefeeding!
