As a true introvert I can tell you that your coworker is just a douche using an introvert cover. I’m fine at work - in fact I can be the life of the party at times - but I just need quiet in my evenings to help balance things out. Being unfriendly is not being introverted.

I think you’re on to something here. It does feel like he’s trying to escape some sort of demons so if he never slows down, they never creep into his mind.

You must go see “We Are The Millers” right away! (That was a joke from the movie)

I had a big baby so mine looked like a 3-week old straightaway. I think it depends on how full the face is - smaller babies tend to look more alien. Also, agree that most look similar UNLESS there is an unfortunate feature they inherited which is noticible immediately (dad’s weak chin, mom’s original nose).

All the best of luck to you! It is the most wonderful thing that has happened to both of us! (I guess that is implied by us going after number two!)

We were very lucky. I got pregnant two months after stopping the pill. Also had a very easy, straightforward pregnancy with no complications which may have factored into my doctor’s recommendation.

I had my first in November and my husband and I definitely want to try for another. I will be 39 this fall. My doctor said “start trying now". If we waited as long as this article suggests, we'd likely miss the window.

As he grows we will definitely establish a bedtime routine and regular naps. Structure is a wonderful thing but with moderation because parental freedom is

Ours was very easy as well. He just started sleeping 8 hours at night at 8 weeks. As parents, we simply tried to replicate what we did that one night so that we could get the same result.

Check out her Instagram. She seems pretty cool and grounded. She is self deprecating which I find endearing.

This is exactly where my head went!

That just brought back memories!

Your friend is a bad ass. I want to be her when I grow up. (I'm 38.)

Boldini is one of my favorites, especially of that era's portrait artists. I only wish I had talent in that area!

It's a Boldini and his typical medium was oil on canvas.

Healthy baby, healthy mama. However you need to get there. Don't listen to anyone else or compare yourself to anyone else. Pregnancy and birth are different for everybody - and all that matters is that you and baby are healthy.

I felt this way being pregnant and ordering virgin drinks or plain lemonade in bar-type establishments. I always feared a mistake and that I wouldn't notice because I'm so accustomed to the real thing!

I doubt she's even read the Constitution.

Looks like History wasn't her strongest subject...
