I saw someone (I think on this site or maybe Gawker?) refer to it as "Two broads in a basement in Idaho" which I STILL find totally hilarious.

My supply is pretty great but my son takes about three tries to latch on to a friggin' bottle, much less my shielded nipple. :( Unfortunately I think it's just too many challenges piled on top of each other. The nipple shields are worth a try for sure, though. I'm glad they're around and that they work for a lot of…

Mine have been inverted since forever, too. You must have been so embarrassed! Oh, moms.

I'm guilty of saying "Are you Nell, from the movie Nell?" ALL THE TIME, despite almost no one knowing what it refers to. I don't care. That line made me choke from laughing so hard.

Ughhhh I'm so tired of people lying about inverted nipples and breastfeeding. All during my pregnancy I was assured that my nipples would come out just fine and it wouldn't be a big deal, blah blah blah. Well, it takes me about four hands to breastfeed in between positioning and my son's unusually short tongue and the…

The first time my husband told me that my "innie" nipple was cute, I knew it was love. Seriously, in my single days, they caused me massive amounts of sex-related anxiety. I'd always hold my breath to see if the guy would make an obnoxious comment about it.

Fuck LLL, seriously. I have one "innie" and one "outie" (in all reality, a Grade 1 and Grade 2 inverted pair of nipples), and between that and what my son's pediatrician calls a "hereditary stubby tongue", I just can't breastfeed without a ton of help...which basically rules out breastfeeding for practical reasons,…

Well of course, but it doesn't mean I won't be heartbroken!

Mine never popped, but then I carry my weight in my belly to begin with, so maybe it just wasn't under enough strain or something.

I screamed aloud when I read that headline.

AHHHHH. Just the words "drink Coke from a bottle" made me shudder, seriously. I can't imagine what kind of thinking goes into literally taking the time to make up a Coke bottle for your baby, holy shit.

Dammit. Stole the words out of my mouth (fingers).

As someone who always knew she wanted to have children and that it was a total dealbreaker...I would definitely want someone to indicate they were childfree (or however you want to put it) in his or her profile, personally.

This is surprisingly fun.

Such a strange and amazing sensation, isn't it? Congrats.

When I was six or so, I started having horrifying nightmares about Joe Camel and the Cheetos Cheetah (both of whom featured prominently on TV ads of the day) finding me home alone and tying me up/murdering me/kidnapping me. I was terrified to even watch the ads on TV.

Poor thing! and thank you. :) It is not as bad as I thought it would be overall. I labored a little while from all the induction drugs (probably about 8 hours total), but not enough to be totally exhausted. I'm just happy to be home.

Yeah, exactly. Between a failed induction and a c-section, I spent pretty much all of last week in the hospital, and I couldn't bear to stay cooped up for another moment. Sane mom = happy baby, in my opinion.

I had a section and got out after three, thank goodness, so I totally understand NEEDING to get out of the house. Of course I was a bit sore all the rest of yesterday, but I felt sane again.

Horrible mothers unite. I was just reading this and going, "Oops, I just took my four-day-old baby to Target, there goes that mother of the year award!" Never mind that we both had a good time getting out of the house. Germs!
