Don't forget CIO, CDing, being a FTM (now THAT one stumped me for a long time...I thought wow, how many FTM folks would want to conceive?), etc.

SWEET LORD. This has gotta be uncontrolled gestational diabetes or something, right?

I hope things stay just as they are, then! That sounds ideal.

I've thought this so, so many times lately. My mom works in a newsroom and every time a reporter leaves, they literally just split that person's beat among everyone else. They're all doing the job of about 3 people right now. Fucking ridiculous.

Ugh, I'm there right now too. Well, actually, I'm a SAHM and I'm not sure how I could even work full time right now unless my career always took a backseat to my husband's and I could never, EVER stay past my usual hours (which would probably doom my job anyway, unless I got lucky).

My husband doesn't talk like during TV or anything, but when he talks he can go for a long, looooong time. It'd kind of legendary among our friends/family. I chalk it up to him having a mother and grandmother who worship him and hang on his every word and always let him talk on and on...he just didn't learn another…

I do a once-a-week thorough mopping and spot mop as needed during the week (or wipe up spilled stuff with a wet dishcloth).

I change my towel out every Friday. Every day sounds unreal. That would be so much laundry! And towels are big - like four good, fluffy towels practically make up a load by themselves! Geez.

I change sheets every other week. I don't like how they feel greasy and scratchy after that point. I would do it once a week but maneuvering king-sized sheets all the time is a huge fucking chore. I would strongly recommend at least twice a month - besides, fresh sheets feel AMAZING and that alone is a big motivator…

I can't speak to the personal mechanical issues you two may have, but I felt the same way about oral and just finally stopped with it. It just doesn't do anything for me! I'm glad other people enjoy it, but no matter how eager and careful and skilled my partner is, it just feels wet and sloppy and it certainly doesn't…

Because a pet is a loved one to lots of people? I have a kid and I would still be extremely upset and in grieving if one of my cats died.

I'm going to make my own with glitter stickers and pink construction paper.

It kind of looks like some bizarre merging of vagina and asshole given its location.

Crabs are temporary; warts are forever.

I think you can suck on the candy shells for approximately a week before they actually start to crack. They're perfection.

Ahh, both very good points, thanks! My anesthesiologist was very light on the "juice", come to think of it. She was excellent and I was very aware and able to move (not that I moved much, but I could freely move my arms and such.).

Ha! I couldn't breastfeed for very long at all (like...a couple weeks, seriously, and then a bit of pumping for about 2 months), and it's all I can do to keep from seeing my 1-year-old's ribs, holy crap. I'm constantly plying him with healthy fats and eggs and meat. He's overall healthy as a horse, too. Zero ear…

I don't think OP meant better parents, I think OP meant more privileged parents where there's a higher likelihood of one parent staying at home and them generally having more money, which usually means better access to healthcare, healthy food choices, safe places in which to actively play, etc. Your second paragraph…

Aren't you precious. You're right - that is exactly why my milk just up and dried up. Because I want poor babies in developing nations to die. Try Iamasmugasshole.com for more information.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck with everything! Planned c-sections (which I imagine it what you'd likely have with twins) are really not too bad at all. I'm looking forward to not having 12 hours of labor before my c-section next time. Recovery was way easier than I expected.
